Dev Blog: Magic Realism


Greetings Inquisitors, this will be the first in a series of Dev-Blogs aimed at discussing how we managed the choices-and-consequences aspect within “Sine Requie: Snake Eyes“‘s story.
This series will be named “Mistakes in Interactive Narration”.

The main element all Sine Requie books have in common is “Magic Realism”: an unlikely or fantastic tale is described in a vivid, believable way. While this horror game includes many fantastic elements (it is, after all, set within an alternate timeline starting from when the Dead awakened during D-Day) it does keep a heavy coat of realism in order to make its unsettling tales all the more tangible.
In order to stay true to the games’ core concepts, in “Sine Requie: Snake Eyes” we chose to use mechanics that reduce the boundary between gameplay and story.
Our goal is to closely tie together the narration of events and setting elements with the actual gameplay.

Dear brothers and sisters, As loyal servants of the Inquisition, we passed these silent months listening. We released the one hour demo for free on different platforms, reaching many players that gave us interesting feedbacks.

Coming from the Latin word for soul, anima, to animate is literally bringing something to life. In this blog post, we are discussing how to revive our character. Considering our game, this topic is more than appropriate.

Dev Blog: Graphs, Trees and Ineluctable Fate

Dev Blog: Tarot Cards We like cards more than dices because their results do not reset at each draw: cards in a deck are like limited resources that players need to manage. Plus they can be illustrated!​

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.
