Exploring the Rituals and Riddles of ‘Year Walk’

We pick up after last time with Simogo’s other notable work from last year, Year Walk. This discussion this time around is more about the amorphous nature of the game itself rather than a detailing of the meticulous construction like in our Device 6 podcast. Year Walk is more about atmosphere and experiencing the folklore of a culture we are not as familiar with. We also get into the differences between the iOS mobile version and the PC version and how Simogo utilizes each format’s particulars to the game’s advantage. | more

A Game of Words, Exploring ‘Device 6′

Dreams are coming true. One in a million that is you.” *sings* | more
