If you caught our 101 most anticipated games list at the end of last week, you’ll know that 2023 is the year that every dev and their dog is going to space. The next 12 months is set to be a banner year for interstellar adventuring, and kicking us off in just under four weeks time on February 3rd is KeokeN Interactive’s Deliver Us Mars. As I found out last year, Deliver Us Mars looks like it’s going to be quite the step up from its prequel, Deliver Us The Moon, both in terms of its cerebral, pulse-racing puzzle-solving, and its shift from a silent, first-person protagonist to fully-voiced, third-person heroine, Kathy Johanson – a fact that game director and co-founder Koen Deetman tells me has been long in the making.
“You have to bear in mind that Deliver Us The Moon was our debut into the games industry,” he tells me. “We’d envisioned multiple ways to make this the greatest game of all time, but to some extent you are bound by reality and what you can make within a budget and timeline, so some of these decisions were made out of necessity. That’s why the narrative and its scale has significantly risen with Deliver Us Mars – we’ve had the opportunity to give that side of the game a lot of more of our time and attention.”
