Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure
Yesterday, Miketendo64 published an interview with Bill Swartz (President of Mastiff Games), about Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure. It covers various topics: how the Nintendo 3DS version of the game compares to the PC version, players reaction at PAX West 2016, New Nintendo 3DS enhancements, and more.
Here’s an excerpt:
It’s a wonderful game, Nihon Falcom was a joy to work with, I’m proud of what we’ve done with localization and port development. The Steam version went smoothly, the 3DS version was technically very, very challenging. All in all, I’d have to say I feel blessed to have been part of Gurumin.

Unless the players uncover the mystery of the house, every time they bring back the vaccine, the infected team member will relapse and the user will be presented with a new randomly rebuilt house.The players will be able to gain experience points from different actions and use them on the skills they think will be more beneficial, bringing a more tactical approach compared to the games it takes inspiration from.
