Jan Müller-Michaelis Interview

Jan Müller-Michaelis (also known as Poki) is the co-founder of Daedalic Entertainment and designed most of its games. He studied Mass Communication in Hamburg and developed the game Edna & Harvey: The Breakout as his diploma thesis (video games as a non linear narrative medium). The game was published when Daedalic Entertainment was founded in 2007. Since then he has helped to develop The Whispered World, A New Beginning, Harvey’s New Eyes and the Deponia series.
