Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 generated no shortage of acclaim last year, and while there was certainly some notable hype ahead of launch, I don't think many expected it to be as widely praised as it ultimately became. That includes the developers at Sandfall Interactive, who made all kinds of ridiculous bets on the game's ultimate Metacritic score – but it seems nobody at the studio bet high enough.
"There are internal bets on the team of what we thought the Metacritic score would be," writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen tells IGN, "and then if it is over that, they have to do some dares or do some things, like get a tattoo, dye their hair, or different things."
