Causa Creations just announced that its previously revealed interactive graphic novel Songs of Travel will launch on iOS and Android for on May 9th. Songs of Travel tells the story of five migrants finding their place in the world with each one having their own tale covering identity, home, hopes, dreams, and more. Songs of Travel will combine specific music and storytelling, and the new trailer continues to showcase the lovely aesthetic. There will be five main narratives included, and they are tied together by Jack Gutmann’s (co-developer on Path Out from Causa Creations) experiences according to the game’s announcement post. Watch the Songs of Travel release date trailer below:
