Filthy. Freezing. Kinda smelly. These are just four of the five words used to describe the scene in an Alberta basement Monday morning where three adults (two females, one male) were found. Tired, cold, and mildly infuriated with one another, the trio had been held hostage for months by their own video game.

Details are sparse but it appears the three friends - who have no professional or practical experience in much of anything - were taken hostage by their video game “Scribble Byte Scramble” at some point early in development.
Authorities suspect the trio was likely unaware of the dangers of game development.
Possessing little money and even less sanity, the trio aimed to develop and release their game on a timeline and budget that was once described as ‘brilliant’ - it has since been downgraded to ‘laughable’.
The whereabouts of “Scribble Byte Scramble” - the game responsible for this catastrophe - are unknown, but it is expected to resurface in early September.
Rumours suggest the trio are currently in recovery, receiving extensive treatments from an Italian pharmaceutical specialist.

I was also informed that the 'Artist Rendering' image link doesn't work, so if you want to see what the basement looked like go here:

It's remarkably accurate. I'm sure you other indie's can relate.
And if anyone was curious, one team member is chained to the wall because he wouldn't stop making changes to the game design.
...that team member was me.
Do you know an approx release date yet? Oh and are there going to be any promo codes for your game???
Scribble Byte Scramble should be out around September 1st, just waiting for Apple to review it. There will definitely be some promo code giveaways - follow @EvilRussD to stay posted!
