A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Stick Animator is anything but tiny. Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
