I never 100% games but Time Flies deserved it. You can decide how you want to spend your time in your life, but dedicate 2-3 hours to it and you will not regret.

Here's a film about the making of I AM DEAD, which shows a bunch of Richard Hogg's concept art for that game, and digs into how we drew inspiration from the town of Hastings on the south coast of England, where he lives.
