"Despite what seems like a fairly normal past year of game releases, the future and long-term stability of Annapurna Interactive has been in question since the mass-resignation of the publisher's staff in 2024. Since then, Annapurna Interactive has continued to announce and release games, while the publisher's former staff spun up a new publisher to support in-development projects from Take-Two's shuttered indie label, Private Division."

Marumittu's project draws on work by Rutger Bregman and Yuval Noah Harari to explore humanity's future. Yarn Owl cites The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past as inspiration.
