THE ISLAND OF CROSSED DESTINIES

PAPER TIGERS

Edition | BGF4 2024

A Pentiment-like, that is, a narrative game of exploration and investigation, set in nineteenth-century Malaysia. It has Salgari in it, a lot of Hugo Pratt, and a little Calvino. We want to tell an exciting adventure and create a baroque narrative machine, saying something non-trivial about colonialism and the clash of cultures.

A team of seven Italians who grew up over the years between Corto Maltese and Guybrush Threepwood. Different experiences and backgrounds: fiction translation, children’s book, programming, board game design. This is our first video game.
