What caught our attention

The developer describes an assignment at Inkwell Studios in which the evidence sits inside the footage. The idea is closer to inspecting a signal than exploring rooms: notice what is wrong, identify the entity, then apply the correct response. That makes the old-cartoon aesthetic part of the investigation itself.

Where to start
