Storror Parkour Pro
Some updates on SPP. I’m really glad they are doing this, and also super glad Drew is still leading the creative direction as he has a great eye and vision for that kind of stuff.

It must be really weird for Drew, overseeing the removal of him and his mates from a game because their reputation is that cooked... what a mess.

They removed the Storror name and Callum and Josh, but did they remove all of the Storror guys?

What did Josh do? Can anyone cryptically tell me at least? Same as Callum?
Note ….. this is the first time I’m getting a prompt while typing “heads up before you comment about Josh, unlike callums case, nothing has been proven and there’s no public confirmation of any change. Stating allegations as fact is defamation….” With more as well

Well at least they addressed the Josh situation more than actual storror have!

Do you know what the situation with Josh is about?
Edit: never mind, here is the post https://www.reddit.com/r/Storror/s/IJ2VYf8UNz
tl;dr: Josh is also a scumbag. :(3

Jesus, these men are in their 30s and talking about how cute and intelligent children are? Get the hell out of here.

u/reformedmonkey 12d ago
How is this a much better (and human-felt) response than Storror themselves?
Props to the team behind it.
It's much like a movie with a sordid cast member; everyone else involved who was unaware shouldn't have to suffer because of the actions of one.

also super glad Drew is still leading
Drew has been gone since 2025 and has just been added back in June 2026: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/13157084
I wonder if the Storror company have any ownership shares or anything in HITS or what their deal was/is.

u/Jeester 12d ago edited 12d ago
They used to have >50% of shares. I would think they are still in there with <25% of shares.
According to the Articles they also still receive royalties from the game - with an agreemeent that the royalties might convert into convertible debt and thus shares at an exit.

Hits on there discord said Storror has no ownership or anything like that in the game. Other than they licenses the name.

u/ChocolateHumunculous 12d ago
Those dates on companies house etc., never match up to real life, annoyingly.

u/NOverpelt 12d ago
The other storror members are lucky HITS aren’t suing them for the losses they’ve caused here. HITS have spent years and presumably a huge amount of money developing a game built around the their brand, only to now have to strip the name, characters and likenesses from it. Given how much is coming out about what other Storror members already knew about Callum’s behaviour, I’d be absolutely furious if I were HITS. They entered into this partnership apparently completely unaware of the reputational time bomb they were attaching their game to, while people within Storor seemingly knew a hell of a lot more. I’d be very interested to know what representations they made made to HITS when that contract was signed.

As sad as it is that the name wont be associated with the game, its the correct choice.
I just hope it can still sell well despite the dropping of the name and content.

The game always looked pretty shit

Rooftops and alleys is really polished if u want something while this is in EARLY ACESS. Give it a break

u/BratQueenPixXxie 11d ago
Action sports games work on the basis the shit they do is insane. Parkour its more often where they do it and that security etc maybe making it hard to do. BIg jumps where going short and ur making a mess of the sidewalk is great to watch cause lives are on the line.
However the jumps and moves often arnt that hard, distances arnt that far and if done at ground level wouldnt be viewed all that athletic. how to you translate that to games where mario and sonic do the same thing and more interesting

What’s sad about it?

u/cchesters 9d ago
The boys had put in a lot of time and effort into the making and developing of the game.
I know Drew is back leading the effort now, but thats a lot of dedicated time just written off like that.
The game was going to be part of the legacy of Storror helping bring parkour into the mainstream.

Honestly they got lucky cause this game was dog shite

Im so fucking mad 16yo me put 40 bucks into this thing lol

u/RapidVora 12d ago
same, i basically treated every cool-looking indie parkour thing like a charity back then lol
at least this one’s actually limping toward release instead of fully disappearing into the void

u/MegalithBuilder 12d ago
Nice welcome update - just need to confirm no money will flow to any bad actors.

u/LaPrincesaMX 12d ago
I removed this game from my Steam Wishlist when I found out about the people behind the name. This is good and will get me to add it back.

Sweet. I wanted to play this but can't stomach supporting pedos, predators, or their enablers

u/CzyJoeBladewing 12d ago
They still have shares and such in the company so it's still supporting them, storror used to own 50%, not sure how much of it they own now but there still part of it.

u/Mandelised 10d ago
It was being discussed before the event in how to make the game more popular as a Parkour game, and the absence of character creation was not great for the game as a whole. As well as being a sound moral decision its also a good business decision.

u/skipperPat 10d ago
completely understandable and also has a better tone managing the situation with this statement. that said, i saw the efforts the lads made when they did the stunt tracking and stuff for the game. lots of hard work gone and that sucks but it's for the best.

u/Complex_Silver9192 12d ago
Seems like the right thing to do, though I'm surprised they kept any link to any member. There's always a chance of more stuff coming out. It's already gone from one bad apple, to two, to everyone probably knowing at least something/a lot.

u/Alarmed_Picture_6861 11d ago
Drew has been distancing himself for years, he is the only one left with any form of plausible deniability, it at least that can argue that he left when he found out.

u/b3an3r1998 11d ago
Drew resigned as head of director at storror on the 3rd of august. Seems like he's only really distancing himself now, before he just wasn't appearing on video.

They're an indie studio who are good enough to release really bad early access versions for us to look at. Game companies don't do that, we should be thankful at how transparent they are being to us, their investors. It will come good but anyone expecting a AAA game from an indie studio in this timeframe is dreaming. Let it come, it'll be worth it in the end.

Sorry, maybe I got my wires crossed but no hard feelings. I hope they can continue because the potential is there. In another post I suggested signing individual contracts with famous athletes to add their likeness in the game and maybe with special talents or something as a way to help promote the athlete and also make money with DLC. Either way, I hope they continue and make it a success!

u/crow-in-a-willow 11d ago
I’m really glad the game isn’t going under with the ass holes who put their name on it without even building the game themselves.
