PASSING FRU

“Playing party games is really fun, but sometimes you need a Braid or a Limbo,” says Through Games’ Mattia Traverso. “You need a game that leaves you with something after you play it.” His Kinect game, Fru, was one of E3 2014’s more engaging curiosities, a platformer in which the player’s silhouette reveals hidden secrets. “All these party games have actually helped Kinect grow and sell to the more casual audience,” he says. “Something very similar happened in the mobile gaming world, then Sword&

Sworcery came out and changed the concept of what a mobile game could be. We hope to be the

Sword&Sworcery of Kinect, showing that peculiar hardware can enhance an experience rather than curb it.”
