But of course were not living in cultural vaccuum. While creating TSIOQUE we couldnt help but be inspired by things that thrilled shocked and amazed us in the past that burned forever into our memory in the childhood days spent in front of the pale light of CRT monitors. Among many other inspirations we could certainly count: a smart humorous story backed by beautiful art style of DAY OF THE TENTACLE simplicity of the gameplay and a serious approach to a younger player in games by Ron Gilbert like PAJAMA SAM a vivid dangerous world seen through the eyes of a boy in HEART OF DARKNESS wonderfully animated epic fantasy and its gruesome punishments for failures in DRAGONS LAIR or INDIANA JONES AND THE FATE OF ATLANTIS an old Lucasarts classic with a perfect blend of adventure humor and action where carelessness could cost you dearly.
