Summary
Rock, Paper, Shotgun has covered the handheld games console Playdate previously, but a new trailer for a Playdate game shown at the PC Gaming Show has prompted this article.
The game, titled Blippo+, will be a full-scale FMV (full motion video) game recreating the experience of channel hopping on an analog TV.
It is being created using actual vintage analog broadcasting equipment, which is a selling point for the writer, who dislikes modern productions that merely add a fake VHS filter to digital content.
Blippo+ is expected to launch in the autumn, and the writer is curious to explore the gameplay, which involves a “time-hopping” mechanic allowing the player to explore the game’s strange lore.
It is being produced by musical act YACHT, comprising Claire L. Evans and Jona Bechtolt.
A Steam page is live for those wishing to wishlist the title ahead of its slated autumn release.
