Forget Pokémon GO, a new indie game is coming to break the wall between video game world and the real world in a whole new way. Picto is a mobile game about a pixel art character called Tim who's trapped inside a game but starts having dreams about a universe beyond.
Built in a custom engine rather than one of the best game development platforms, the upcoming game uses a new mixed-reality technique that merges 2D pixel art with the real world as captured by the player's cameraphone. Mechanics include making Tim walk on real-world objects with certain colours, be it a game controller or even a cat.
