Twin Tale Studios Acquires “Hour of Need” & “Brook City”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Twin Tale Studios Acquires Rights to Brook City and Hour of Need
November 2025 — Indiana, USA — Twin Tale Studios, founded by acclaimed game designers Adam and Brady J. Sadler, has officially acquired the publishing rights to two of the Sadler brothers’ celebrated designs, Brook City and Hour of Need, previously released under Blacklist Games.
This acquisition grants the Sadler brothers and Twin Tale Studios full creative ownership and publishing control over both game lines—ensuring these unique properties can continue to thrive under their original creators’ vision.
“We’re very excited to have both these brands under our full control,” said Brady J. Sadler, co-founder of Twin Tale Studios. “In the past, we’ve had to make many concessions when creating our own game worlds, but now we can truly bring our visions for these properties to life.”
“This acquisition is a big step towards a goal we made for ourselves when founding Twin Tale Studios,” added Adam Sadler. “After years of seeing our games suffer various setbacks by decisions made by those who owned our designs, we decided to take control of these product lines and do everything we can to make sure they are available and supported for years to come.”
Under the Twin Tale Studios banner, Adam and Brady plan to restore these properties to their full potential and explore ways to expand their universes in the future. This announcement comes as Twin Tale Studios continues development of its first in-house publishing project, The Malice of Light Adventures, a cooperative roguelike board game based on Brady’s epic high fantasy novel series, currently in pre-launch on Gamefound.
Fans of the Sadler brothers’ past work can follow The Malice of Light Adventures now on Gamefound to receive exclusive updates, including future news about Brook City and Hour of Need.
Earlier this year, Twin Tale Studios released its first publication, Ransom Creek Remains, which is available now.
