# A Journey Worth Dying For: Award-nominated <em>Chariot</em> Releases on Steam Today

*The Hit Couch Co-op Platformer Approaches One Million Downloads Following October Console Launches*

**QUEBEC CITY – November 12, 2014 – **Frima today announced that couch co-op platformer *Chariot *is now available on Steam, following its PlayStation 4 and Xbox One releases earlier this fall. In *Chariot, *a princess and her fiancé venture deep into the royal catacombs to find a final resting place worthy of His Majesty. Featuring stunning environments and a wealth of challenges along the ride, *Chariot* tests players’ wits and teamwork in order to survive their perilous journey. *Chariot* is a finalist for eight awards, including Game of the Year, at The Canadian Videogame Awards being held November 21.

Prepare for your adventure with *Chariot’s *[trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M-mNbs5mR0), and view the [developer diary](https://app.box.com/s/y92znq8rndk8wn6kadcs) for an inside look into the game’s creation.

In *Chariot*, players guide the King’s funeral casket through richly colored landscapes by using physics-based mechanics, such as swinging, riding, pulling and pushing. At times, you’re collecting jewels at high speeds down steep ramps, and a moment later, you’re carefully traversing treacherous cliffs. Alone or with a friend, *Chariot* offers the thrill ride of an afterlife!

“*Chariot* has really taken off – no pun intended – on consoles, and we’re thrilled to launch on Steam,” said Frima Executive Producer Martin Brouard. “While you can play the campaign with a partner, Steam is an excellent platform to take on the journey solo.”

*Chariot *is available for $14.99 on Steam, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, with a Wii U release date to be revealed soon. On Steam, *Chariot *is optimized for controller use, but keyboard controls have also been implemented. *Chariot’s* mesmerizing soundtrack is also available for $3.99 or bundled with the game for $16.99.
