Simpler Times (Stone Skip Studio)
“A place from the past where you can be present.” That’s one of the ways Stone Skip Studio talks about Simpler Times, a game about delving into a woman’s past as she packs up her belongings. As playes rifle through her childhood keepsakes and special mementos, the developers hope players will find a space where they can “take a break, slow down, and enjoy something meaningful.” The trailer shows the player picking dried leaves, building a model house, and interacting with other objects to spur past memories. One more quote from the studio: “It’s like childhood is the beach and growing up is the sea.” It’s intimate interior-core and I’m sold.
