The Missing 99
Start date: Mar 3, 2015, End date: Sep 2, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The Missing 99 (production title) is a stylish, modern adventure game about Robert Capa’s life and work in the Western Fronts of World War II. The game is not only a sheer example of the new generation of mobile adventure game, it has a strong cultural and historical value for a wider audience. We believe a game is a most suitable way to tell a story about our common history for a younger generation that is more comfortable with a mobile device than history books. The main objective of the game is helping Robert Capa to get through the iconic events of European theater of war and taking photos of many faces of war. To push forward the story and move to the next scene, the players have to solve lighthearted puzzles based on real events from Robert Capa’s personal career. The puzzles are mainly focusing on visually represented dialogues to bring closer the story and create a cinematic experience. We invented a new game mechanism to replicate the feeling of analog machines. To take photos, the players have to draw a rectangle around an object on the screen which tells the speed and accuracy of photographing. The players’ performance is measured by the quality of the photos and the recreation of Robert Capa’s original work. The visual design support the gravity of story. Film-noir like sceneries, lot of negative spaces with sharp edged lights and shadows dominates the screen creating a minimalist cartoony environment. Stylish animations support the story and gameplay as the players are delving into the Robert Capa’s story and work. As the game follows Robert Capa’s career on the Western Front, the game unfolds our common European history and heritage. No other game tried to catch the personal stories and cultural diversity by adapting a real journalist’s art. As an innovative, multiple award winning team of experienced developers, we are eager to make a game about a Hungarian artist, who is part of our common European culture.
