trailer:

As we said this is a graphic drama – adventure played from third-person view.The game started development in April 2013. It emphasizes story and character development over traditional and intricate point-and-click puzzles.

The authors of the game stated that they wanted a game to have a very nostalgic look.Jean-Maxime Moris said of the setting and art style:

“To me it’s really one of those places that bring this kind of nostalgia, and I mean this in a positive way.”

All textures seen in the game are hand painted to achieve what artistic director Michel Koch called “impressionistic rendering”.

GAMEPLAY:

Introducing the mechanic of rewinding time allows the player to go back and redo any action other than what is done past a checkpoint (however long a checkpoint lasts).Choices,choices,choices!The choices made will alter and affect the story through short, mid or long-term.Also,your choices in the game doesn’t give you definite answers.No! They put you in thinking,anticipating and resolving.Dialogue exchanges can be rewound while branching options are used for conversation.The player can also examine and interact with objects indicated by a system of hand drawn icons, which enables puzzle solving.

PLOT:
