Hi, we're a new video game oral history site. Some highlights so far:

Mirror's Edge: bit.ly/mirrorsedgeoralhistory
Sayonara Wild Hearts: bit.ly/sayonarawildhearts
Shadow of the Colossus: bit.ly/shadowotcolossus
Sound Fantasy: bit.ly/49xPfha
Rez Infinite: bit.ly/4pKj0BB

Find us at designroom.site.
An in-development screenshot from Sayonara Wild Hearts shows a different visual style. A photograph shows marketing materials from the unreleased Nintendo music game Sound Fantasy. An illustration shows a developer sitting at a desk while working on Mirror's Edge. An illustration shows all 16 bosses from Shadow of the Colossus in a single frame.

A game starring a flying "sound warrior" that started life as a video game stage show with three people playing simultaneously, all synced to the same soundtrack? It could only be Otocky. www.designroom.site/toshio-iwai-...
Otocky illustrations from Toshio Iwai show the game's main character playing music. A photo of Otocky's box art shows a spherical game character in the middle and a photo of a woman in the corner.
