Updated 15th July 11:50 AM: As of yesterday, this delightful little interactive storybook has finally crawled off the shelf and onto the App Store.

Head over to iTunes now and grab a copy for £3.99/$4.99.


In the slowly-growing genre of gamebooks, this week The Outer Zone's award-winning Sofus and the Moonmachine has fallen into our laps and it sure is pretty.

Aimed at children between the ages of four and eight, Sofus and the Moon Machine follows the story of Sofus, a little gnorf, as he builds a spaceship and takes a perilous journey to fix the Moonmachine so daylight can shine again.

Even for big kids, this game looks stunning. From interactive illustrations, animated characters and over a hundred rhymes that'll bring you right back to your childhood, Sofus and the Moonmachine is certain one to watch out for. Parents, adults, and kids alike.

Coming July 14th on iOS and shortly after on Android, keep your eyes on this page, we'll update you when the game drops. Until then, check out their website here.
