The Puppet Shows of Runner3

Hey, everyone!

I hope you’ve all had a chance by now to watch the gameplay video we shared a couple weeks back! It’s far and away the most footage we’ve shown of the game so far, so be sure to check it out if you haven’t already.

If you watched, you probably heard us mention the addition of "Puppet Shows" in the game. Some of you probably (and understandably!) are wondering just what the heck these are, and how they fit into the wild and wacky world of Runner3. Well, try not to overthink it: They’re exactly what they sound like! 

If you A) complete a world in Runner3 and B) collect the required items scattered all throughout, you’ll be treated to a Puppet Show. You don’t have to watch it, but doing so will provide you with a little more backstory for the game. For example, those who watch the Puppet Show for Spookyland will learn what life was like in that world before The Parliament of Owls arrived (spoiler: it was a lot better). 

Oh, and all of the Puppet Shows will be narrated by Charles Martinet. It was our hope all along to have more Martinet in this game, and this is just one example of how we’ve managed to pull that off!

Without further ado, here’s a sneak peek of one of the puppets:

Pretty cute, right? Hopefully we can give you a glimpse of a Puppet Show in action in the near future.

As always, let us know in the comments if you have any questions/thoughts!
