Wildwood Down is an indie point-and-click adventure game created by Crashable Studios, a two-brother development team based in the United States (you can read AMO’s recent interview with studio co-owner Micah Orsie here). Inspired by a beach trip to Wildwood, New Jersey, the game stars their childhood friend Daniel, who has Down syndrome, a wonderful sense of humour and a love of video games – making him the perfect protagonist for this comedic feel-good murder mystery.

Wildwood Down is an upcoming point-and-click adventure set in Wildwood, New Jersey. It features innovative visuals that combine 2D pixel art with 3D environments, and the protagonist is based on the developers’ childhood friend Daniel, who has Down syndrome – he not only voices the main character but also helped write the game’s dialogue. This comical, story-driven murder mystery looks like one of the most promising adventures of the year, and Alternative Magazine Online is therefore proud to present an exclusive online interview with developer Micah Orsie, co-owner of Crashable Studios!
