Studio Reset is confident you'll never find a AAA studio making something like its upcoming supernatural mystery game, The Eventide – and its developers would know. The new indie company is made up of BioWare veterans who've worked on games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and The Eventide leads remind GamesRadar+ in an interview that AAA gaming is prone to too much worrying to really luxuriate in the misty X Files vibes they're cultivating.
"Because we are indie, we can take these sort of creative risks that maybe were not available to us in larger companies," says Studio Reset creative director Kaelin Lavallee. "And that's not a knock against larger companies. They have their place and they can do what they do, and they do it well, but at the end of the day, there's a little bit more risk aversion there." So, Lavallee, art director Francis Lacuna, and design director Kris Schoneberg all agree: The Eventide is a creative opportunity they never had before.
