Pixel adventure My Big Sister on the way to the Vita

Adventure Game Studio has provided a rich crop of PC adventures over the year and Ratalaika has ported the engine to the Vita. The first fruits of this labour is Stranga's My Big Sister, a tale of two siblings, Luzia and Sombria who are kidnapped (if it isn't a dream, that is) and need to make it home.


The top-down view adventure has been on Steam for six months and garnered very positive reviews, with a sense of humour among the spooky goings on, and looks like a great fit on the Vita's screen, as long as the text is readable.


Expect a release soon. And check out the hastag #AdventureGameStudio to see all kinds of adventures released and in development from traditional point and clicks to 3D worlds - which might struggle on the Vita. Whatever, there's plenty of fresh games coming our way if sales and interest keep the developers, port teams and publishers interested.
