After The Rapture: The Chinese Room’s Next Game, Total Dark, Is An Isometric RPG
Quote:
The next game from the creators of Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs and Dear Esther will be a systems-driven isometric adventure, inspired by tabletop RPGs and wargames. I spoke to The Chinese Room’s studio director Dan Pinchbeck about the game, Total Dark, and he explained that he’s wanted to make a game driven by RPG-style mechanics for a long time.

“Total Dark actually started off as an RPG boardgame. A lot of the inspiration came from pen and paper and gamebook systems. Traveller, Paranoia, Twilight 2000. I’ve been looking at loads of paper-based RPGs and wargame systems.

“It’s such a relief to be able to talk about the game during development. We had to keep quiet with Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture but now we’re working on PC, without a publisher, and we can talk about the whole process. We’re aiming to have a playable prototype by the end of April, at which point we’ll have worked out a lot of the systems, but since we last spoke [around a month ago] we’ve completely gutted a lot of what was in the game.

How long until they cancel the PC version and announce Xbox One exclusive? Laughing
