Y2K playtesting being live tweeted right now
We first heard aboutY2Klast year, when comparisons toTakashi Marukami,Persona,David O’Reilly,EarthBound, and other surprises were immediately laid upon the title. Pretty weird stuff, but aftertalking to the two brotherscreating the game, I thought that I had a firm handle onhow strangeY2Kmight turn outto be.
If these live tweets from Cassandra Khaw ofYsbryd Gamesdescribing an early build of the game are anything to go by, I clearly had no idea how deep theY2Krabbit holecould go. I’m not sure what that bearded man is doing on a bus next to that panda fella, but it definitely feels like something serious is going on. Apparently thatbearded man’s mom is Jesse fromPokemon, and he feels thatlate 1990s computers are his safe place. He’ll be in need of one soon enough, in no small part because ofa cat with a Salvidor Dali mustachewho is a “homicidal ass” and a thief. He’s stolen something from the man with the beard and taken off with itinto an attractive overworld. Notice how big the cat has become in the overworld. Even more reason not to trust him. Also,Persona 4gas station.
From the sounds of it, this preview build ofY2Kwill be available to the press soon. We’ll do our best to get you a full report on it as soon as we can.
