Indie developer Spry Fox has announced that their newest title, Road Not Taken, will launch for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in early 2014. Spry Fox previously developed the PC and mobile titles Steambirds, Triple Town and Realm of the Mad God.

In a Playstation Blog post, Spry Fox co-founder David Edery discusses what Road Not Taken is all about and how Robert Frost’s poem of the same name comes into play:

“Road Not Taken is a game about life’s surprises, both positive and negative. In our take on Robert Frost’s poem of the same name, you wander through a mysterious forest in the aftermath of a large snowstorm. As you explore, you’ll come across wild animals, impassable barriers, and lost children.

Triple Town co-creator David Edery confirmed on his blog last Sunday that the development studio filed a copyright infringement suit against competing studio 6waves Lolapps (also known as 6L) in response to Yeti Town, a virtually identical game released two months after Triple Town, which one review called “the exact same game, only this time with snow.

Amazon and EA have owned the fledgling Kindle games space up until this point, but indie developer Spry Fox has entered the ring as well now with their puzzle strategy game "Triple Town."
