Inside Hope in the City: Our Team Talks Story, Investigation & Hand-Drawn Art
Hope in the City · published
We joined the Insider Gaming Show on May 28, 2026, for a 30-minute conversation with Creative Director Judith Cheung and Game Director Jason Loftus.
They dive into the story, investigative mechanics, and hand-drawn visual approach behind Hope in the City — set in Northeast China, where 17-year-old Hope Song investigates her parents' disappearance. Gather clues, record observations, and piece together the truth using sketches in Hope's notebook. Have a listen!
Wishlist Hope in the City if you haven't already — it means the world to us.
