The game takes place on Penfurzy Island, off the coast of Cornwall, a place of medieval legend, and modern tourism. We pick up the story in the 1980s when the island faces fresh challenges that can only be met by the island's two most overlooked heroes: two young girls.

You play as Nessa and Demelza. Nessa is an outsider from the mainland, who is searching for her family's past. Inspired by her favourite video game, Demelza is an imaginative local who believes in the island's legend. Together they explore the island both on foot and on their bikes, searching for treasure, discovering new locations, recruiting new gang members and getting into trouble.

When their investigation awakens the malevolent spirits of history, the girls must use their unique skills, and their bikes, to save the island. They deal with the threat with bike-jousting, Frisbee-throwing, puddle-stomping and whatever other kid-like schemes they can improvise. And with each islander they rescue they learn new abilities to enable them to do more and travel further.

This is a game for anyone that ever wore their coat like a superhero cape, wondered if there was any treasure buried in the back-garden, and faced danger by peddling their bike at top speed into it.

"We've had incredible support from our Kickstarter backers, and we have been working flat-out to deliver the adventure that we've promised to everyone! But as we are just a team of two working in tandem, its good to have a few more gang-members, to pedal alongside us, sharpen the jousting poles and make sure we don't crash, get a flat-tyre, or flip over the handlebars."  Said Rex Crowle, really overdoing the bike metaphors.

"Wait, first tell me what they said about us," said Double Fine president and CEO Tim Schafer. "Was it nice? Or just kind of okay? Because if I say something nice and then they don't mention us, I'll look really desperate.” The games industry veteran elaborated, “I'll just say I love Knights, Bikes, Moo, and Rex, and that Double Fine is super happy to be presenting their amazing game, unless their quote was meh--in that case just make my quote the shrug emoticon." ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Shrugging back, Moo Yu took the higher-ground. "I've spent so many hours plunging myself into the imaginative worlds that Double Fine has conjured, getting to know their intriguing characters inside and out. In Knights and Bikes, I want players to feel that same connection and curiosity as they meet our cast of misfits and delve into the mysteries of the island of Penfurzy.”
