What’s your favorite part of the game and why? We wanted to tap into that creative innocence, bring back the kid within the player and ourselves-the place in us that sees people and the world around us as something mysterious and magical. OR: We were influenced by the look and feel of a kid’s homemade toys, as well as our memories of building with Lego blocks and creating stories around that.

You’ll help him with all sorts of things, from harvesting the sunflowers on his family’s farm to maneuvering cranes and throwing giant boulders. OR: Ghost Giant is an emotional three- to five-hour-long puzzle and narrative-driven experience where you help the kid Louis around his daily life. What can you tell us about the game’s campaign? It was a sanctuary, the ultimate escapism. In VR, you can really enter the game world in a different way, and we wanted to make the most of that.įor the style and setting of the world, we drew inspiration from building miniature cardboard towns as kids and immersing ourselves in them, wishing that the toys who inhabited them would spring to life. Olov Redmalm: Early on, we talked about how awesome it would feel to enter the role of someone giant, taking care of a little guy who actually sees you and reacts to what you’re doing.
