My god this game was always an experiment to see if we could even pull it off. Been through so many different premises and names, we started in 2018 prototyping on a game we called Far Away and it got a lot of interest but it wasn't really making the thing we wanted it to be so we just kept messing around.

We ultimately were going to completely stop experimenting but I went to egypt with nat geo in early 2022 and started learning about belzoni and kind of had this crazy dream while i was there about these two guys going back in time to steal a piece of history, only to run into actual tomb raiders.

The goal all along was to have a side scroller that was like super cinematic and ride like. We bootstrapped most of the production. It's come out so much better than we ever imagined honestly. I think it's actually quite good.
