The Transfer, by Twisted Ember
What would be your description of your game?
A Lovecraftian point-and-click adventure set on the London Underground. Which slowly derails into something ancient, forgotten and maybe just slightly unhinged. Hand drawn as we hate ourselves with a slight pinch of dark British humour.
How did development start? (Were there any key inspirations or ideas that drove you?)
The very first concept for what we called “The Ferry”, an endless first person train driver game, where you never left the driver seat and had to perform mundane tasks while slowly loosing grip of reality, it didn’t click with us. On a hail Mary we decide to try it with a point and click prototype and the two came together and it felt like a perfect match. Salt and vinegar, gin and tonic, Lovecraftian and the London Underground, a perfect combo in our eyes. Key Inspirations were the Drifter, Monkey Island series and horror classics like The Keep, In the Mouth of Madness and The Void.
