“As we say, nobody understands what’s really happening, but it’s a weird feeling, you know, when you put your heart out into the world and the world embraces it and gives you so much love back,” he continued. “We get so much love from the players, all the messages and the fan art and the covers.

Broche’s comments were echoed by actor Ben Starr, who plays Verso in the turn-based RPG, with the actor explaining that it was always pitched as a “small game” instead of the critical collosus it has since become.

“It was never intended to be as big as it is,” the actor said. “Its turned into this kind of cultural moment, phenomenon, but that’s just because the game is very honest, I think, and a lot of people have bought into that. And thank you to everyone.”
