Once again, huge thanks for everyone's support with the game - leaving reviews and wonderful comments. We're so lucky to have you! We're also working hard on the patch that will be available very soon, huge thanks to the people affected for your patience.
But today, and for the next few weeks, we wished to share with you some cool Behind the Scenes details that you may find interesting. Let's start with a certain scarf...
When one begins our game’s experience, one of the first spaces they encounter is our main protagonist’s Caz’s lodgings. His desk is covered with Christmas decorations, and items dear to his heart – postcards from his family (as actually drawn by our team’s family members!), boxing memorabilia, a scarf belonging to a football team he supports…
Now the latter, the beautiful yellow and red scarf hanging at the top, is not just any scarf we conjured up for the sake of adding there. As you know, authenticity is always key to The Chinese Room’s games, so when we find opportunities to mesh our creations with the real world – we try and make it happen.
Partick Thistle FC is one of the world’s oldest football clubs founded in Glasgow in 1876. Loved ones of our team are avid followers of this club.
We were blown away and so thankful when their comms team wrote back to us agreeing us adding the club’s scarf as an asset into our game. What absolute legends. So infinite support from us in perpetuity. Go Partick Thistle FC, and to our players - consider joining their fan base here!
We'll be back next week to talk about and celebrate more real-life cultural collaborations we crafted for the game. Speak soon!
