It’s sort of this freeing thing that really flips the pacing of the game upside down.
Parkes: It was always something that we just knew we wanted to do because it’s so cool.
We close our eyes when we’re listening to music.
We close our eyes in these more exalted moments.
I think the idea that I can actually make a player do that?
As Oliver said, it took a while to find the right version of it.
I think we were also inspired by games likeJourneyandInside.
Inside does a similar thing.
And you’re also afraid of you.
Parkes: Yeah, exactly.
That game’s amazing.
It felt like this really perfect inversion because when you’ve spent a whole game being out of control.
Why does that make you proud?
Parkes: Well, I think we’ve seen that it’s really cathartic.
I think that’s what drama is meant to do.
It felt like that was such a rare thing to see.
I think when we went to college, that started happening more.
You started seeing games like Gone Home, suddenly the kind of indie moment started to really happen.
But I think we still have a sense of that, too.
