Someday You'll Return - Post Mortem

Our psychological horror "Someday You'll Return" caught attention of both the press and the public while being one of the most disproportional games in terms of the game vs team size. The vast majority of the game was created by mere 2 (later 3) developers and this led to many revelations and/or horror stories throughout the development of our game.

In our talk you can follow us on what went well or horribly wrong and hopefully you can get some insights about pitfalls waiting for you if you develop large size game in a tiny team.
