Hello All!
We at Styrax Studios are proud to present our debut game "Button Man"!
Button Man is a side-scrolling action adventure game set in a fictionalized Halifax, Nova Scotia, called Kingsport. During prohibition Halifax was a port famous for bootlegging to the US, and that is when our story is based on. Our love for our city makes us want to share it with all of you, to see its history, its spirit, and things that are sometimes swept under the rug.
In Button Man you will play as Bruce McKenzie, a button man, the guy who gets things done for the local bootlegging kingpin, Mr. Fisher. Your boss has been in control of Kingsport for a long while, making people love him and fear him with no opposition to speak of. It has been two years since Bruce has gone far away from home, and on his first day back on the job Mr. Fisher gets assassinated and Bruce gets shot. What follows is a game of intrigue, conspiracy, and action as you try to find Mr. Fisher's killer, fight your way through hostile factions, and make choices that will either save or doom the town.
The city is yours to explore and immerse yourself in. From our main story line that will take you on an adventure across the city and its people, to the side stories that populate each chapter, to activities and shops that lets you interact with the many residents within it, Kingsport has a lot to offer and many sights to show you.
We are hard at work to bring you all a worthy demo in the next Steam NextFest so be on the lookout for that! Join our Discord for more information and come hang out with us as we develop Button Man!
