“In depth this is still a point and click adventure. It is not a shooting game or a car racing game. So it’s about understanding or deconstructing the point type and clicking and saying, “What does that really mean? What’s really funny about this genre.” It is necessary to emphasize this aspect and not merely to compile a series of elements of nostalgiaGilbert says.

“Basically, any element of the game needs to support the gameplay or the story and hopefully both. We have tried to identify, rethink and redesign everything that does not reflect this philosophyGrossman added.

There is a different mentality. There is a different way of how the brain deals with gameplayGilbert explains.We spent a lot of time really thinking about how the game could be really fun to play with a controller instead of just a mouse. Being able to do this but without being distracting or detracting from what gaming is with a mouse. We really tried to balance these two game modes very equally for people.”

Gilbert further explains that the artistic direction that appears in the trailer will be representative of the final match, which then It won’t be made in pixel art.

“Gilbert said that the art direction of the trailer is exactly what the art would be in the real game. “So it’s not pixel art, and this was a discussion between me and Dave at first. In the end, we thought we had more freedom and flexibility by not making it a pixel art game. I think people will be very happy with the artistic direction once they see the game in action.””
