And this time King Grahame can provide more context than ever before. Making the wrong choices has seen players kick the bucket in a multitude of ways over the years, and that's the same here. "Those games exist, they're awesome, there's also fan remakes of those games - so we wanted to push it forward a bit."įinally, another element that remains true to the series is death. We wanted to make the game that Ken and Roberta would have made if they never stopped making games, and be inspired by the same things they were inspired by. "That's what's interesting about King's Quest - they went from basically a text-based game to point and clicking, to places in the middle. "We really tried to capture what the original games were about - it's the sense of charm and wonder and storytelling, and less about copying about what the last game did," he explained.
