Development and release[edit]
The game was originally planned to be an action platformer, but as development of the story expanded, developer David Board chose to refocus the game to center on the story.[7] The game is inspired by classic adventure games including LucasArts's The Dig and the platform gameAnother World, as well as by Cold War sci-fi B movies.[7] Board said that he aimed for the game to convey the 'combined sense of optimism and dread of what science was capable of in the hands of humankind'.[7]
The game was part funded through crowdfunding, launching a Kickstarter campaign in September 2011. The campaign achieved its $8,500 target within 24 hours of going live, and eventually closed with over $17,000 raised.[8] The exposure generated by the campaign helped to secure a publishing deal for the game.[9] Though Board originally intended to release the game in July 2012, delays meant it took until March 2014 for just the Steam Early Access release.[10]
