This is Agnès, founder and solo developer at games studio 2054.
Previously, I wrote a blog entry about Sagi Electrics, a corporation that plays a central role in the story and events of The Sundew. Now, I want to introduce you all to another group of people that are key to the events, but they are so from a completely different side.
Meet The Pillbox
The Pillbox is a group of anti-globalization activists based in the Republic of the Philippines that grew out of the anti-globalization movement Homeport and works jointly with it, but in a clandestine manner. The Pillbox operates mainly in English-speaking countries, but also in some non-English-speaking countries when they consider that they are likely to cause serious human rights violations through their policies or actions.
The Pillbox as a group is not aware of the entire project The Sundew, but has
identified the link between the Police and Sagi Electrics and does not see anything good in it. In the story of the game, it is the Pillbox that organizes the release of Anna in order to get the cyborg back to her cause.
Ciel is one of the thinking heads of the Pillbox, for which he has dedicated himself body and soul since a close friend, a high-ranking member of the Pillbox, saved his life by having his brain connected to a cybernetic body. He is the first human being with an artificial body to have survived the operation and to have recovered the ability to use his new body in an almost autonomous way.
His twin brother, Rick, also works for the Pillbox, although he feels much less involved because he is more opportunistic.
I want to thank you for the very helpful feedback some of you shared during the last Steam event, all of that is very important and I take it greatly into account to further improve Anna’s adventure.
Development has been intense but I’m nearing the final stages and getting close to finally sharing a release date! Stay tuned, we’re almost there. <3
All the best,
Agnès
