Quotes
“With this game we wanted to take a familiar concept and an everyday experience – the knot – and project it in a sci-fi environment, alive to be able to interact with it.” Roberto Capuano
“We drew a first concept of the Strings we played with to untangle, we wanted them alive as magic objects, but they went beyond that: they started to move and understand their nature - snakes, worms or mechanical beings with instincts and behavioral dynamics.” Loana Elisabeta Furcoi
