When I saw Tim Schafer, the CEO and founder of Double Fine Productions, talking about Keeper at Gamescom this year, it sounded like he was reading something. He droned on about the origins of this zany game that is launching today from publisher Microsoft.
I was dozing off from Gamescom weariness, but my trusty recorder captured what he said. And now that I’ve played some of the game and it is debuting today, Schafer’s words are coming back to me. This is perhaps the most zany game I have ever played — where a lighthouse walks, or rather staggers around on four legs, guided only by a seabird.
