There's a very core constituency for much of my creative output.

So Beethoven and Dinosaur is based out of Melbourne.

Their last game was called The Artful Escape, which is also like a music game that I actually did not play, even though it's kind of up my alley.

And I don't know why I didn't play it.

I just didn't.

It kind of missed me.

It kind of passed me by.

So this game came out and I started getting emails from people who'd played it saying, dude, you have to play this game.

It's totally up your alley.

It's like exactly your kind of thing.

And I fired it up and played it.

And I actually really liked it, even though I've gone and written all these...

long, complicated thoughts about it.

Overall, I think it's really cool and fun and gentle and sweet and a nice video game.

It's a kind of an interactive music video, is sort of how I'd describe it.

The premise of the game is, at some indeterminate point in the 1990s,

Reads to me as mostly 94, like pre-internet 90s, but it's a purposefully timeless.

Some of the slang doesn't quite fit and there's references that don't put you in a certain year and they never say what year it is.

Three teens who live in similarly a kind of purposefully undefined California town called Blue Moon Lagoon that just looks like

a California suburb with mountains and the ocean, but it's not a real city.
