![]() We hope you will come with us in our quest to bring the rigor and polish of the past back to today's gaming scene! We have striven to deconstruct the classics of the SNES to extract all of the superior design principles behind their mechanics and level design, to understand exactly what made them so peerlessly great, even by today's terms. Hazelnut Bastille is the story of a young woman who has just arrived on the shores of a savage, foreign land for the first time. ![]() She casts a haunted figure, and has come to seek the fabled knowledge of a race of long-dead ancients on the edge of the world, in hopes of finding a way to reclaim something which was lost to her. Along the way, she meets the other inhabitants of this undiscovered country: a band of castouts and pariahs from the old world, all seeking to make a new life in a place far away from their old troubles. Legendary composer of The Secret of Mana, Hiroki Kikuta, has joined the project as guest composer for a handful of tracks that establish central themes for the game! When things seem their darkest, that is when she meets a cryptic stranger- someone who can recite her life story as soon as set eyes on her- and the real journey begins! She will set foot in halls lost to time, and gain dominion over the very forces behind the natural order, but will it be enough to find what she is looking for? Her story will become entangled with theirs, as they each lean on one another for their own needs, and slowly she will get to know exactly who each of these strange bedfellows are, and what they have themselves run from in their old lives.Īs she gets closer to her goals, new troubles and woes reveal themselves like nested matryoshka dolls. ![]() The dev log has some interesting commentary on the choice of color palette, as well as many other design decisions in the game.
