Don't Nod is doing something new.

Life is Strange studio Don't Nod recently teased a new game in development at its Montreal studio, and it looks like this one will be taking us on a trip back into the distant past of the early 1990s.

"Here's a little glimpse of what Don't Nod Montreal is brewing!" the studio tweeted."Does it bring back childhood memories?"The image in question is not exactly subtle. In the foreground is an old-timey game console that bears more than a passing resemblance to the Super Nintendo, which was released in Japan in 1990 and North America in 1991; the console is connected via colorful composite cables to a CRT television, which sits above a relatively modern-looking VCR.

The wood panelling behind the television also gives off a distinctly distant temporal vibe, although that's a little less obviously on point: My mom's basement is still rocking the same look, and I know she's not the only one. The one element of the image that throws me is the candy on the table. It looks like an open pack of Starburst, which I don't think has any specific '90s connection, but the name of the candy is interesting: Epop, which is French for Epic.

In which dictionary did you read that 'epop' was French for 'epic' ?!

The last good LIS game was Before The Storm, and I expect it to stay that way tbh.

Oh joy what nightmare woke bullshit which is new levels of cringe are we going to be getting this time The last game was your character superpower was not being a sociopath and hitting Deanna Troy levels of 'I can sense you're upset'
