Life is Unusual studio Do not Nod just lately teased a brand new sport in improvement at its Montreal studio and it seems to be like this sport will take us on a journey to the distant previous of the early 90’s.
“Here is just a little glimpse of what Do not Nod Montreal is brewing!” the studio tweeted. “Does it carry again childhood reminiscences?”
The picture in query just isn’t totally correct. On the entrance is an outdated sport console that bears greater than a passing resemblance to the Tremendous Nintendo, which was launched in Japan in 1990 and North America in 1991; The console is related through colour composite cables to a CRT TV, which sits on prime of a comparatively modern-looking (I stated comparatively) VCR. There’s additionally a shelf stocked with videotapes, and some sport cartridges, to the left of the TV.
The wooden paneling behind the TV additionally provides it a distinctly far-time look, although it is much less apparent on this level: My mother’s basement nonetheless rocks the identical look, and I do know she’s not the one one.
The one merchandise within the image that throws me off is the sweet on the desk. It seems to be like an open packet of Starburst, which I do not assume has any particular ’90s connection, however the sweet’s identify is fascinating: Epop, which is French for Epic. (There is no such thing as a Nod in Paris, and French is the official language of Montreal.) The trace on the Epic Video games Retailer is unique, maybe, or is the sweet simply too good? I am not into plots, so I suppose the latter, however Do not Nod launched Twin Mirror as a yr one Exclusive Epic (Opens in a brand new tab) In 2020, something is feasible.
Tweet additionally refers to Jobs chances (Opens in a brand new tab) At Do not Nod Montreal – sadly, none of them supplied any extra hints as to what the studio was as much as. Given the studio’s historical past throughout video games together with Life is Unusual, Inform Me Why, and Twin Mirror, and the nostalgic vibe the image of the day comes throughout immediately, I might say there is a fairly good wager it’ll be some kind of narrative journey. Character-driven. A daring prediction, I do know.

Do not Nod can also be at the moment engaged on a brand new RPG referred to as The Outcasts: Ghosts of New Eden (Opens in a brand new tab), the grim story of a pair of former ghost hunters who embark on a quest to discover a remedy for a curse that has turned one among them right into a spirit.
