when I saw a post mentioning Papo & Yo was announced in last year E3 and it seems that indiegames blog posted it before but I can't recall about this game at all. I realized, I was less slacking back then or I did get a Total Recall.
Papo & Yo
as seen in indiegamemag.com
Oh! Thank God! Finally a mature topic is being concerned by a grown up game developer.
Papo & Yo is a personal game by Vander Caballero which raises childhood abuse issue and presented in a unique environment, SoTC-ish slum. Magical realism as its best with puzzle platformer is simply captivating.
I love the art style, seriously, who the flock does not love unsaturated and earthly colors? Street art and graffiti with a splash of cultural element is genius enhancing realism that the sociopath player could not relate to. The sense of loneliness and minority is unmistakably invoking the same emotion that SoTC/Ico does. It is not released yet it looks fairly playable.
hey! isn't game all about the experience? like a depressing experience? child abu...nevermind
