The Rise and Fall and Rise Again of 'Cart Life'.

Indie game Cart Life, which won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the Game Developer Conference’s annual Independent Games Festival in 2013, disappeared from Steam in 2014. Creator Richard Hofmeier pulled the game due to unresolved problems and bugs. Now, Hofmeier and AdHoc Studio plan to revive the game, not as a nostalgic cash grab, but as an earnest attempt to preserve it. The game, which focuses on three street vendors struggling to make ends meet, is hard because life is hard. It's a unique experience that allows players to be messy and constantly subverts their expectations. The game is set to be released later this year.
