At the Casual Connect conference in Seattle, Merscom announced the development of Coyote's Tale: Fire and Water, the brainchild of Matt Shetler, Merscom's Producer for the Blood Ties project. Coyote's Tale: Fire and Water begins with two sisters vacationing in Mexico. But what was supposed to be a pleasant time is interrupted by a torrential thunderstorm, and the two women soon become caught in a mythical adventure lead by Coyote, an ancient storytelling god. The sisters set out to help restore balance to an unstable universe, but cryptic warnings about a mysterious betrayer suggest that something more sinister is at work. Developed by GO! Games, the Siberian developer who also developed Blood Ties, Coyote's Tale: Fire and Water is scheduled for launch in Q3 2008.
