Lab42 Games | A Storied Life: Tabitha

Hooray! Fantastic news! We're very hard at work on Tabitha and really look forward to people seeing the whole experience!

Thank you, Steve! ☺️

Be sure to tune in to #CozyQuest2025 if you love those cozy games!

Woohoo! Can’t wait!

Be sure to check out #CozyQuest2025 to see more Tabitha!

This week we showed the game to someone new at the studio. They literally laughed and cried. It’s cliche but it happened, we’re sorry!

The key art and logo for A Storied Life: Tabitha (a popup book with a papercraft house coming out of it, the words A Storied Life sketched in white over some colourful ink splodges, the word Tabitha written in purple on a scrap of lined paper with a flower for the dot over the i) is shown hung up in a cosy wood-panelled room with a framed picture of a cat on the wall under the art, and two cats lounging on purple furniture. A rainbow of books is laid to the left, with the logo for Cozy Quest floating above them.

We're so happy to announce that A Storied Life: Tabitha will be appearing in #CozyQuest2025 hosted by @wearesecretmode.com!

This lovely cosy gaming event runs from 17th-20th November on Steam, with the opening showcase taking place on 17th November at 6pm GMT on YouTube and Steam.

A lovely video from @morifae.bsky.social showing off the demo for Tabitha and several of the possible stories you can tell from hundreds of combinations! We loved seeing the discovery of Tabitha’s witchy side 🧙‍♀️

We’re so glad you enjoyed Tabitha! We’re improving it every day until launch next year so all feedback is appreciated ☺️

Incredibly weird to even type this. After all these years of anticipation, we're a mere 8 days away from the release of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2.

We’re thrilled to have just announced our game A Storied Life: Tabitha at the Gamescom Awesome Indies showcase!

It’s a real labour of love for the team at Lab42 and we’re over the moon to be working with our friends @wearesecretmode.com on an original title.

The back of the coin. It shows the Tales of the Shire logo at the top, and the Lab42 logo on the bottom.

To celebrate Tales of the Shire releasing, @lab42games.bsky.social had a bit of a bash - and some of our team put together a lovely keepsake for everyone that worked on it with @wetaworkshop.bsky.social. We had to find our Elvish name! I love mine so much!

A painting of green hills and blue skies, with hobbits and animals roaming on the ground. In the sky are the words "Congratulations on the Release!" followed by the Tales of the Shire logo. Underneath are the logos for Wētā Workshop and Lab42 Games, joined by a cross symbol in the middle.

We're delighted to announce our partnership with @wetaworkshop.bsky.social and @privatedivision.com on Tales of the Shire!

Big thanks to the super talented team at Wētā for choosing us as a dev partner to bring this cosy hobbit game to PC, Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, out now!

I was so happy we had the chance to work with this title after playing it to death from its initial release.

Check it out on Luna! Cloud gaming is faster than ya think!

What a game! I still pinch myself that I got to be involved in porting this to Steam, that I got to dig around in the code and the tools and see how the masters at RGG put this ridiculous, massive, silly, exciting game together. One of the greats.

Don’t think I’ve mentioned this yet, but Metal: Hellsinger VR is up for Best UK AR/VR/XR Game at the Ukie Awards on 4th March.

We’re thrilled to have been shortlisted, and several from the amazing team at Lab42 that made it happen will be joining me at the awards - let me know if you’ll be there!

Why do we love strategy games so much and where might they go in the future?

These are two of the questions we tried to answer in our interview with @sumodigital.bsky.social and @lab42games.bsky.social!

We’re thrilled to bring another beloved Sonic title to Amazon Luna in partnership with our friends at Sega!

If you’ve never tried Luna before, trust us - it works better than you think!

We understand that people have some very valid issues with TGAs, but this game was a labour of love for a very small but passionate team at Lab42, and it already means the world to them to be considered.
