The Realm is a beautiful new point-and-click adventure game currently being developed by Atomhawk Design and Lantern Interactive. The combined teams hope to raise £195,000 via Kickstarter to fund the game by the 22nd May 2013. In The Realm, players take control of Sarina, ‘a headstrong young girl who leaves the safety of her village to embark on a desperate quest to discover a cure for her sick mother’, and Toru, ‘a legendary giant stone golem’. Together, the unlikely pair begin ‘a treacherous adventure set in a far distant future where the world has been reclaimed by nature.’ AMO is therefore proud to present an exclusive online interview with Lantern Interactive technical director Tom Szirtes!
