Friedemann Findeisen has been making this game for ten years. Originally conceived as a video game during his student years, Findeisen had it almost completed – with voiceovers, music and so on. The only things that scuppered the digital game was the fact that students aren’t exactly known for their work ethic “it was a complete failure in a lot of ways.” So while he has the whole story, many of the puzzles, the illustrations were never finished by his friends from the art departments – “it was a very long time and things just not really moving on, nobody meeting their deadline, you know, students.”
Findeisen, a music teacher, musician and now game designer amongst other disciplines, spend the intervening years playing Kosmos published Exit games and the Unlock! series.
