The developer of a video game which is set In an alternate version of Wirral has said Japanese gamers are quizzing him about the Merseyside peninsula.
Jay Baylis, 30, is the director of Bytten Studio. Although he and his business partner Tom Coxon are now based in Brighton, they grew up in Bebington.
They wanted to give their first release, Cassette Beasts, something unique in the crowded field of indie games. Jay said: “We’ve set it in a place called New Wirral, and there’s lots of references and homages to the place we grew up in. We’ve got characters called Pensby and Hoylake and given it an English seaside aesthetic.”
