We'll all be able to relate to the protagonist in Camper Van: Make it Home
Despite seemingly having it all, she's still not very happy with her life.
We've all been there. From the outside looking in, you might appear to have it all. A partner, a home, a steady job, but in the back of your own mind, you know you're not happy. Not all of us can pack up into a campervan and move to a life on the road, but the protagonist of Camper Van: Make it Home has done just that.
At the BIG Conference in Bilbao, we spoke with Maribel Zafra, producer and narrative developer at Malapata Studio, about Camper Van: Make it Home, and the aims they studio has with the game's story.
"Instead of telling the story of a life, we wanted to tell a story of personal growth," Zafra said. "The protagonist has a good life, I think we all can relate to her at some point in our life, because you know, she has a good job, she has a partner, she has a house, she has everything she's supposed to have to be happy, but she's not happy, so she decides to try something new, and yeah, it's again, it's not a story of a life, it's a story of another version of your life, and you have always the chance to try."
Quite a positive outlook, then. The game has been compared to Unpacking, but with its gameplay it proves itself to be quite different. Find out more in the full interview below:
