Enchanting Reveal at Day of the Devs
Memo Gogo and Thermite Games are amped to show off their latest gem, Sophia the Traveler, at Day of the Devs: The Game Awards Edition 2023. This isn’t just a peek; we’re talking a full-on trailer reveal and an exclusive demo. Get ready to dive into a hidden object quest that’s all about that Wholesome ‘Where’s Wally’ vibe in a dreamy Venice setting. And yeah, this beauty is set to hit Steam in 2024.
Venice Like You’ve Never Seen Before
Imagine Venice but in a game, and you’re pretty much picturing “Sophia the Traveler.” This isn’t your run-of-the-mill adventure; it’s a hand-painted, hidden object extravaganza where every inch of the screen is a masterpiece waiting to be explored. With 10 massive stages, this virtual Venice is a feast for your eyes and a challenge for your brain.
The Devil’s in the Details
This game isn’t playing around when it comes to details. Think 1800+ character assets, over 300 character animations, and more than 100 sequence animations and sound effects. It’s like stepping into a living, breathing Venice, complete with iconic landmarks and nearly 300 sound effects. The devs have gone all out to create an immersive, whimsical world that’s as charming as it is challenging.
A Journey of Discovery
As a player, you’re not just looking at pretty pictures; you’re on a mission. Your task? To find a whole bunch of unique figures and items, each with its own little quirks and cute animations. It’s a test of your observational skills, wrapped up in a joyous exploration of hand-drawn Venice.
Love Letter to Venice
The twist? The devs, Janalyn and Leo from Memo Gogo, have never actually set foot in Venice. But that didn’t stop them. They spent three years virtually roaming every corner of Venice using Google Maps and travel books. Their mission? To capture the essence of Venice – its romance, music, and exquisite cuisine – and bring it to players worldwide, even if they’ve never visited the city themselves.
