I just read a bit about the company. One of their most recent games,
UHR (from 2014) was based on music & story by a metal singer from Norway (the company's country). So I guess they knew what they were doing when working with John
Also, the company's website states that
The Astonishing will be a "dynamic digital board game". I just saw the trailer for
UHR (also a digital board game, according to them), and judging by it, I think this game is going to be some sort of mixture between
Mario Party,
Worms and chess.
I loved playing to all three of those, so I think I'll probably enjoy playing this game as well!
