A nostalgic memory: I created this game based on scribbles that I drew when I was a child, I wanted to dedicate this game to all the people that one drew their dreams on a piece of paper.
Development Story
I scribbled down concept of the game when I was in third grade. All the puzzles of the game were drawn on paper and the player had to progress by overcoming the puzzle through observation. My friends would tell me their thought process and their strategy, and I would be the one to determine if they succeeded or not.
After I started working, the pressure of real life forced me to relinquish my time and dream from what I wanted to do to what I had to do. By chance, I came across these childhood scribbles one day and I began to ponder the possibility of making a game that can be enjoyed by many friends. During that period of my life, I stumbled across a drama circled around chess. After learning the rules, I believed the two different games would fit harmoniously together, so the finished product included many elements from chess in its puzzles. Just like a certain friend, with uncertainty in heart, Piggy set out undauntedly towards the end of the world.
