Stacking

It wasn't long ago that Double Fine released Costume Quest, a fun-sized downloadable role-playing game that oozed with charm. That was the company's first foray into the downloadable games market and it won't be its last.


Watch the Debut Trailer

Enter Charlie Blackmore, the world's smallest Russian stacking doll and the star of Tim Schafer's latest endeavor, Stacking. A third-person adventure puzzle game, Stacking's diorama open-world environment is set against a 1930's era backdrop.

The fun of matryoshkas is, of course, stacking them, so the game utilizes their nesting functionality in an interesting way. The various dolls that populate the community have unique abilities and since Charlie is the littlest of them all, jumping inside another character (as creepy as that may sound) is an easy way to acquire new skill sets. Though you can pile on the dolls, only the outside one's power will be accessible, so you may find yourself stacking and unstacking to successfully complete a challenge.

A hidden Charlie Blackmore braves picketing protesters.

Typically in adventure-puzzle games there's one wacky way to solve an issue, but Stacking grants you the freedom to resolve the same situation in different ways. If you need to get Charlie past a guard, perhaps you'll "stack" on a pretty lady doll and distract him or maybe you'll try and sneak past him. Either way, when you decipher a new solution you'll be rewarded so you're encouraged to try out several problem-solving methods.

Stacking is expected to hit Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network in spring 2011, so stay tuned to IGN for more information on the game.
