GameClub, a subscription-based gaming service that revives classic iOS games, recently expanded into PC and console titles, promising to bring popular console and desktop games to mobile platforms.
Today, GameClub is debuting its first PC to mobile game, Chook & Sosig: Walk the Plank. Available on PC and Mac, this is the first time that Chook & Sosig has been expanded to iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
Chook & Sosig: Walk the Plank is a hand-drawn point-and-click adventure where titular characters Chook and Sosig play a tabletop game roleplaying as pirates alongside some friends. Players are tasked with seeking treasure, solving puzzles, and more.
GameClub is also working to port additional PC titles to iOS and Android devices this fall, including Tokyo 42 and Ancestors Legacy.
Priced at $4.99 per month, GameClub offers more than 100 games that can be played without additional in-app purchases or ads. Games can be shared with up to 12 family members across iOS and Android devices.
This month, "SP!NG," "Cozy Grove," "HitchHiker," and "Farm It!" arrived on Apple Arcade, joining the expanding library of 152 games already on Apple's exclusive-based mobile gaming subscription service.
Last month, Apple Arcade gained just two games: "Lumen" and "Survival Z." In March, four new games joined the platform in the casual, adventure, and simulation genres.
