Motiviti took (at least) 11 years to make point-and-click adventure game Elroy and the Aliens
Elroy and the Aliens recently debuted on Steam as a hand-drawn point-and-click adventure that was inspired by classic LucasArts games.
He added, “As the writer, I also drew a lot of inspiration from science fiction books that I loved (Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton, Dune by Frank Herbert, Hyperion by Dan Simmons), and movies and TV shows like Stargate, Contact, Indiana Jones, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Joined by Peggie, a sharp-witted investigative journalist with a particular knack for languages, Elroy will embark on a galaxy-wide odyssey across two richly detailed planets, featuring over 60 meticulously crafted locations and fully-voiced characters, some of which will talk in a mysterious alien tongue designed specifically for the game. Their quest begins with the discovery of a secret crystal and an enigmatic message, launching them from their hometown of Slope City on a journey through the cosmos to find Elroy’s long-lost father, all while unraveling a lurking threat to the very existence of the universe.
