Macclesfield, UK – 4 August , 2026
The secret is finally out! Indie publisher Silver Lining Interactive, known for delivering polished, engaging indie hits is officially crossing over to the development side. Today marks the grand unveiling of their brand-new, fiercely ambitious development label: Silver Bullet!
As a new IP label Silver Bullet is thrilled to introduce their very first title: Mr Trippy, a completely innocent, 100% wholesome management simulator about selling ice cream. There is absolutely nothing illegal happening here, officer. Please move along.
…Are they gone? You sure? Cool.
The Real Scoop
So, you actually are selling drugs. You’re selling ice cream too, but also drugs.
Sweet, sweet drugs.
Mr Trippy is a dark comedy double-life simulator where you sling soft-serve to cover up your booming narcotics empire on wheels. Think you can handle the heat?
Silver Bullet is hitting the ground running with a debut title that exemplifies what it wants to see in games: out-there, slightly weird (but somehow also charming) and not afraid to make some laughs.
“We wanted to let our wild side run free,” says Dan Fraser, Senior Producer at Silver Lining and Creative Lead on Mr Trippy. “We regularly share ideas for games, and when an ice cream truck visited the office, Luke threw out: ‘What about an ice cream man sim, but drugs?’ Naturally. “
The Brains Behind The Operation
Silver Lining Interactive originally created the Silver Bullet Programme to take promising indie teams under their wing, providing the extra resources and expertise needed to get their games across the finish line. Spending so much time around raw creative energy quickly rubbed off on the team. That creative itch officially snowballed into various prototypes, with the first one becoming Mr Trippy!
What began as a publishing incubator has now fully evolved into a fiercely ambitious indie development label in its own right. With their debut game finally announced to the world, Silver Bullet is officially born to serve up their own brand of unique, engaging experiences for all gamers out there.
