Avian Avenue, a new iPad/Android game from Dovetail Foundry explores the stories of the British terraced house over the past 100 years. Set on an ‘ordinary’ terraced street, every home tells its story – each from a different decade and from a different city in the UK. Players uncover the mysteries, hidden histories and human stories of each home, through the objects they find inside.
For the past year, Dovetail Foundry has been hunting down local stories from a turbulent period of Stoke-on-Trent’s history, inspiring the opening chapter – Avian Avenue: Stoke-on-Trent 1988.
Launching in the app store later in 2016, join them for the local launch of this fantastic new interactive game where you can:
- Play the game before it’s available to the public
