This remake of the legendary 1999 classic promises a fully reimagined journey that blends intricate puzzles, breathtaking landscapes, and an emotionally rich narrative.

Rediscover a Lost World

As a young journalist, you're tasked with uncovering the secrets of the Great White Birds, a mythical species tied to the fate of a distant and mysterious land. With nothing but your investigative skills and a sense of adventure, you must navigate lush jungles, treacherous rivers, and ancient ruins to restore a legacy lost to time.

A Puzzle-Filled Quest

The journey is more than just exploration—it’s a test of intellect. Solve challenging puzzles, decipher hidden clues, and unlock secrets buried deep within forgotten manuscripts. From operating the fascinating hydraflot, a vehicle capable of navigating both land and water, to unraveling the dark history of Amerzone’s past, every decision pushes the story forward. I was sent back to the drawing board multiple times:

A Tribute to Benoît Sokal's Vision

The legendary Benoît Sokal, the mind behind the Syberia series, originally crafted Amerzone as a tale that merges realism and poetic storytelling. This remake elevates his vision, with stunning environments, a haunting soundtrack, and deep narrative choices that immerse players in a world as tragic as it is beautiful.

Once Upon A Puppet: A Theatrical Adventure + Make Your Own Puppet!

Once Upon A Puppet | SDGT Studio Title Art

The Strings That Bind the Story

What if a game felt like a live performance—where every movement, every scene change, and every puzzle was part of an unfolding act? Once Upon A Puppet, developed by Flatter Than Earth, takes players beyond the curtain and into the heart of a theatrical puzzle-platformer that seamlessly blends art, storytelling, and mechanics.

A Stage Unlike Any Other

Step into the role of Drev, a puppet mysteriously bound by enchanted strings, and Nieve, an exiled stagehand pulling his fate forward. Together, they journey through The Understage, a forgotten realm beneath a grand theater where lost tales and fractured dreams take shape. With stage-shifting mechanics, players can manipulate environments as if directing a live production, transforming the game into an experience that evolves with each act.

Mastering the Puppeteer’s Craft

This isn't your typical puzzle-platformer—it requires finesse and creative problem-solving. The controls make every interaction feel intentional, as players pull the strings to move, manipulate, and unlock hidden paths. The fluid movement system combined with dynamic puzzles makes every jump, twist, and sequence a carefully choreographed masterpiece.

A Visual Symphony of Light & Shadow

Theater-inspired backdrops, dramatic lighting, and intricate set pieces give Once Upon A Puppet an unmistakable stage-like atmosphere. The art style doesn’t just enhance the visuals—it actively shapes gameplay, making every transition feel immersive and every challenge feel part of a larger production.

Behind the Curtain: The Minds Behind the Magic

The team at Flatter Than Earth thrives on creating narrative-driven adventures that break conventions. Every detail—from the handcrafted dialogue to the meticulously designed environments—reinforces their dedication to storytelling, making Once Upon A Puppet a must-play for lovers of art, theater, and puzzle-solving.

+ Bring Puppetry to Life at Home

Feeling inspired? Let’s take a page from the game and craft something tangible—your own DIY puppet project to enjoy with family!

Materials Needed:

Construction paper (various colors)
String or yarn
Hole puncher
Scissors
Glue or tape
Markers for decoration
Popsicle sticks or cardboard

Steps to Make Your Own Puppet:

Cut the Puppet Shape – Draw and cut out a puppet figure from construction paper. Get creative with different shapes or keep it simple.
Cut the Strings – Make sure the wrist strings are equal in length, and then make sure the longer ankle strings are equal in length. Compare the two, and feel free to lay the strings down next to your character with the popsicle stick over it. The shortest string will be connected to the head. This helps your puppet be able to properly move.
Dissect & Create Moving Parts – Separate the arms and legs from the main body. Instead of gluing or taping them rigidly, they’ll be attached with string for flexible movement through the joints.
Punch Holes for Joints – Use a hole puncher to create small holes at the top of the arms and legs, as well as corresponding holes on the puppet’s body where the limbs will be attached. Did you cut off too much of the body for the arms and legs? No worries, cut out circles to glue or tape in these area where the shoulders and hips would be. This would allow for the arms and legs to be comfortably attached. Don't forget to punch holes for wrists and ankle areas where the movement string will be placed. Do the same for elbows and knees to take things to another level.
Attach Strings for Mobility – Thread string through the holes and tie knots to connect the limbs to the body. The loose connection allows the arms and legs to move freely, creating a joint-like motion.
Make a Control Handle – Tape or paste popsicle sticks together in a capital X like layout or cardboard strips in a similar shape to attach the strings, letting you manipulate the puppet’s movements easily. Connect the head to the center area of where the sticks cross. Turn the X to the side and make the back area of the X so that you know which parts are for the ankles, where as the parts of the X in the front are for the wrists.
Decorate Your Puppet – Add personality with markers, stickers, or paper cutouts. You can create facial expressions, outfits, or accessories to bring your character to life.
Bring Your Puppet to Life! – Hold the control handle and move the strings to make your puppet wave, walk, or act out scenes.

This fun craft is a great way to bond with kids, spark creativity, and bring the magic of puppetry into your home—just like Once Upon A Puppet!
