At final, when folks ask if I’m planning to have children, I’ll have the ability to say I’ve already 100-percented it then run away cackling into the night time. That’s because of at present’s launch of Kids, one other “interactive animation” collaboration between the oldsters behind 2015’s Plug & Play. The RPS rabble who performed Kids at EGX Rezzed this yr declared it one of their favourite games of the show however refused to say means, whispering cryptically about needing to see it contemporary your self – which now you may. I imagine it’s one thing to do with throwing kids down a gap? If not, then somebody ought to make a game about throwing kids down a gap.
Young Matt vaguely threatened to inform us extra about his holes again in April.
“I kind of don’t want to tell you about Kids. I want you to jump into it completely blind, like I did, and not contaminate your impressions with my own,” he stated. “But I also do want to tell you about Kids, because it’s weird and makes you think about stuff. It’s… a series of vignettes that often involve prodding people into pits? I’ve said too much. The whole ‘game’ only takes about 20 minutes, so just play it when it comes out later this year. We’ll talk about it then, OK?”
Stuff, you say?
Kids is the second collaboration Michael Frei and Mario von Ricken, with assist from Playables and publishers Double Fine Presents. Our former John (RPS in peace) praised their first collabo in his Plug & Play review.
