Raccoo Venture
If you are a fan of Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Yooka-Laylee, or Super Lucky’s Tale, you better keep your eyes open for this title! Raccoo Venture is a beautiful 3D platformer where you play as a brave raccoon who is the last heir of the Power of the Guardians, lineage who have protected the Sacred Relic for uncountable years, keeping the harmony in the world of Verta. But now it’s been stolen, the whole world is in great peril, and only our little friend here can restore the peace.
The game is available on Steam in Early Access. I really, really, really want to see it available on all platforms!
Truth and Tales
Truth and Tales is an app with interactive stories, audiobooks, and, soon, yoga training for kids between 5 and 11 years old. Its stories are based on millennial teaching stories of different cultures. The app also comes with karaoke that helps in alphabetization and, in the future, will also have a gaming space to support children’s cognitive development.
The game is available for iOS and Android.

The game is available on Android for free.
