Greetings from sunny South America…
Tourist Trap is a 2D hand drawn level & click on journey recreation with a robust deal with narrative and lightweight puzzle fixing. It´s a surrealist comedy with a darkish secret on the core of the story. In a fictional South American vacationer city referred to as Santa Ballena, we play as a younger tour information, Lucas, who uncovers a conspiracy involving native abductions and an menacing company controlling the city.
Developed by TragicoMedia, a two-man studio composed of myself and Manuel González Larrauri, the sport tells a really private story and has many layers however primarily revolves across the two sides of its plot.
On one hand, the principle textual content of the story a couple of vacationer colony dominated by a overseas company and the lives of the various exploited locals that attempt to survive inside it, could be very a lot impressed by Manuel’s expertise rising up in a working-class household in Punta del Este, Uruguay. As a coastal vacationer city it suffers from a lot of the recreation’s fictional ills, resembling no actual financial system past service to rich foreigners, no curiosity from the federal government to take care of its inhabitants or infrastructure past the summer season months and an ever rising sense of despair and want to escape.
Then again, the sport additionally addresses the difficulty of touristification, which isn’t in contrast to the state of affairs of cultural industries within the world south. Drawing parallels between working as an artist, developer or artistic of any form and residing within the World South. Which means that one should select to both entertain the vacationers (i.e., World North audiences) by serving to their tastes, tradition and language (i.e., creating recreation in English based mostly round a gaming tradition developed by and for the World North), or cannibalizing their very own tradition for revenue (i.e., making video games in English however that includes extremely marketable components of 1’s tradition).
It’s naive to imagine that the video games business ought to be protected from colonization or the World North cultural affect, however as artists we’re tackling the difficulty with the instruments we’ve.
Vacationer Entice has one thing of worth so as to add to that goal.
We hope you get pleasure from Tourist Trap on Xbox!
