<p>Cactus Production unveiled the development for An Everyday Story in December 2022. The game's main story revolves around an unnamed Italian-American man who takes a trip down memory lane.</p>

<p>The protagonist has lost his memories. But he had clung on to three different toys in an attempt to retrieve them.</p>

<p>The players will then take control of these toys as they help the man revive the bonds he shares with his loved ones. They become a tin soldier, a bat origami, and a wood shop. Each toy has its own abilities and weaknesses and can interact with the environment differently, as the developers described.</p>

<p>Along the way, players will find themselves reflecting on life itself.</p>

<p><q>The main theme of the game is the melancholy of life, needings and wishes, forgiveness, memories, nostalgia, and family,</q> said Cactus Production. <q>The game features a variety of locations and scenarios, from realistic to fantastic, that reflect the man's emotions and experiences,</q> they added.</p>

<p>An Everyday Story will be released for PC via Steam this year.</p>

<p>The game has already earned several recognitions, including the <a href="https://www.bigindiepitch.com/games-showcase-2020/">Big Indie Pitch 2020</a> bronze award. It was also named semi-finalist at the Xsolla XDC Contest for LATAM developers. </p>
