– Set in the 1980s
– “Take on the role of a a seasoned mountain climber whose stubborn brother has gone missing; he was lost spotted in the Himalayas.” – On a mission to find him
– Developer attempting to push the game engine, wants to transcend other devs in terms of graphics
– “The world in which the main character explores is large, multi-tiered and can to be seen in whole from certain vantage points”
– Game doesn’t have a dynamic day / night system
– You’ll find hikers and “the dead from entirely different eras, like centuries-gone Tibetan monks, for example”
– C button on nunchuck to run, z button to flip 180 degrees
– D-Pad used to go into a first-person view
– A button to confirm commands, open doors, etc.
– Some motion controls in the game as well
– “There is a battle system, but it has nothing to do with guns. Rather, as you explore, ghosts appear out of a black, swirling wind that hovers toward you. This is a representation of the spirit world or Bardo and you can go there simply by holding the B-Trigger. Inside, you will see a clearer view of the entities, which emit symbols from their centers. You must first point to these symbols — they’re actually written prayers or rituals — with the Wii remote to get a lock-on and then make the signs shown on-screen with your controller. If you’re successful, the souls will be freed, so you’re not so much killing them as helping them find the true afterlife.”
– Reconfirmed that developers are looking at MotionPlus for the game

“We’re looking at a couple of WiiWare titles at the moment. I can’t say much about them at this moment, but one is a very funny brain training (yes, another one!) that tests your hand-eye coordination, memory and maths. It causes quite a few laughs in the office.” – Rising Star Games Marketing Assistant Yen Hau

Mr. Hau must be referring to The Legend of Dr. Kawashima, right? Or perhaps Star Dr. Kawashima. I guess we’ll have to wait and see!
