“With this chapter of the story, we sought to really raise the stakes for the characters we’ve met and grown attached to.” says Matt Kempke, author and game designer.
Kevin Mentz, also author and game designer, adds, “It’s a much faster paced. A more action-packed experience. But we did our best to maintain focus on the poignant storytelling from Ken Follett’s original. While adding more interactive moments.”
