Four Bahrainis are aiming to make their mark on the global gaming scene with an innovative two-dimensional puzzle-platformer that emphasises wit over violence in problem-solving.
A platformer is a genre of action video game where the core gameplay involves running, jumping and climbing to navigate levels filled with platforms and obstacles to reach a goal.
Catatonic Game, developed by Faris Al Alawi, aged 26, Ahmed Al Alawi, 28, Mohamed Al Alawi, 28, and Mohamed Al Zekri, 29, all from Muharraq, is en route to become the first-ever Bahraini game to be taken up by major distributors.
The group behind Fred Da Dead Productions expressed its desire to make a game and tell a story that revolves around finding solutions to problems and mental health.
