Tattered Media sat down with Mosaic Mask Studios in order to talk about their upcoming game Heaven's Hope
If you're hoping to have a little slice of Heaven with this game, prepare to be disappointed. It's a pretty-looking game, but that's about all it has going for it. Jerky animation, a tedious plot, and dull characters will make you want to leave the small English village almost as soon as you arrive.
What is with adventure games and their obsession with lovable idiot Guybrush Threepwood-esque characters? Yes, Monkey Island is seen by many as the pinnacle of the genre, but that should not mean that every game must follow it down this over-beaten path. In Heaven’s Hope, an adventure game from German developers Mosaic Mask studios, you find yourself guiding fallen angel (more of a literal plummet than a biblical evil sense) Talorel back to heaven. Unfortunately in the fall his wings have been destroyed and his halo lost, making the task at hand that much more difficult.
Hey Poor Player's Kenny McKee writes - "Regardless of personal religious standpoint, it’s probably safe to say that many of us have wondered what Heaven is like. While almost everyone who has given it a thought surely has their own unique version of what it must be like, it is probably also safe to say that, generally, Heaven is imagined by those on Earth to be a much different place than the realm in which we currently reside. Have you ever given a thought, however, to the opposite? What might Angels think of Earth and the strange creatures that inhabit it?"
