Pirogue

Iris & the giant is a turn-based card game, mixing puzzle game, RPG and roguelike gameplay. Iris is distressed. It feels like someone is crying inside her chest. She will have to fight her own demons to climb up the level of her mind to finally meet the giant and find a way to comfort him...
It all starts with ten colored shapes sliding on the screen. Suddenly, a few strokes of a pen turn them into funny or poetic drawings. As if by magic, a tree grows, a cat meow, a little girl starts to dance… Here is “Oh!” a magic drawing app signed by Louis Rigaud and Anouck Boisrobert. Those two authors adapted their pop-up book “Oh! mon chapeau”, published by hélium, France, and its whole crowd of colored animals and characters. (UK title: “That’s my hat”, Thames & Hudson).
