The Nintendo Game Boy is a hunk of nostalgia that helped revolutionize the now-advanced world of portable gaming, but being a thing of the past doesn’t mean it has to stay in the past.
You’ll soon be able to get the console out of your drawer, and not just to look at it. Dana Puch of greenboy games, a single developer from Barcelona who is still designing games playable through the 1989 classic, is releasing a new spooky title that will re-immerse you in a world of color-free handheld gaming. Where Is My Body? is a point-and-click adventure mimicking the retro style of 90s titles like Maniac Mansion with a plot resembling that of 2019 French Best Animated Movie I Lost My Body.
The game, built into a physical cartridge, features a disembodied 16 by 16-pixel hand on its quest to locate the rest of its body. It is still on Kickstarter mode, although greenboy games has exceeded its US$4,749 crowdfunding goal by fourfold.
Where Is My Body? is the developer’s fifth Game Boy title, joining other old school-inspired games exploring human anatomy, an adventure on the moon, an underwater voyage through the lens of a submarine navigation simulator, and a soccer shootout.
“The main idea is to keep alive the spirit and gameplay of this legendary console,” Puch described.
