00:00We started with a simple idea. We wanted to create a game around the world Kaamos, which is

00:10polar night in Finnish. A period of time when the sun doesn't rise at all. From the get-go, we knew

00:17that we wanted to make a roguelike experience with simplistic puzzle mechanics. After some iteration

00:23with various gameplay mechanics, we settled on a match-three grid with an unusual way to combine

00:29the tiles. We wanted something that you could play in short bursts, but that keeps you coming back,

00:34trying new builds, new gear and new strategies. Under the deceptively simple looking surface is

00:40a hardcore roguelike experience. The player must master both the match-three mechanics and strategic

00:46gameplay built around item bonuses and special abilities in order to emerge victorious. We wanted

00:52to keep things simple and readable, but give a lot of room for deep planning. Item descriptions and

00:58dialogue give hints towards there having been a larger medieval world out there outside the

01:03player's perspective, and that world is now going through the quiet mysterious apocalypse.
