Hello there, my identify is Lee Petty, and I’m a Inventive Lead right here at Double High-quality Productions. I’ve been at Double High-quality for nearly 20 years!

My new sport, Keeper, was impressed by the occasions of the previous couple of years. Like most, I assumed rather a lot about isolation and reference to others. I’ve at all times been into mountaineering, backpacking, and spending time outdoor with my household. In the course of the pandemic, it turned much more necessary to me. I questioned if the wildlife round me can be all that’s left sooner or later. Would it not proceed to develop, to evolve? I considered the mycelium, the huge underground networks that join fungi, and the way they’re additionally utilized by timber to share vitamins and talk with one another.
I imagined an remoted island in a far-flung future with out people. What kinds of life would evolve there? Would this life nonetheless be possessed with a necessity to attach with others and to have a function?
When serious about what this world may seem like, I used to be impressed by Surrealist painters, like Max Ernst and Salvador Dali, who created vibrant, dream-like worlds which might be each acquainted and in contrast to the rest. A few of my favourite motion pictures, like ‘The Darkish Crystal’ and ‘Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind’, are about unusual, otherworldly locations and weird types of life, and each current as family-friendly movies however have weirder, darker undercurrents. This comes by way of in Keeper too, giving it a gameplay fashion that I prefer to name “Bizarre, however Chill”.
A narrative instructed completely with out phrases, Keeper is the story of a long-forgotten Lighthouse on a post-human island, which awakens after eons of mendacity dormant. The Lighthouse’s historic masonry crumbles and it falls to the bottom, however then it grows legs, stands up, and units off on a journey towards the mountain peak on the middle of the island, joined by a spirited seabird companion, named Twig.
It’s a psychedelic story of companionship and an journey of mystifying metamorphosis, all set in a lovely and surreal otherworldly realm past understanding.
It’s a sport which could be very a lot concerning the surprising, and we have now gone to nice lengths to protect the mysteries and surprises the sport holds. I’m actually excited for you all to find them for yourselves as you play – and I’d prefer to ask you to please take into account the way you discuss these shocking parts, ideally preserving a few of the thriller for others wherever potential.
