How Barcelona's Piccolo studio creates After Us

The Game Awards showed us the future of gaming, and one of the upcoming titles is After Us. Piccolo Studio is making the exploration and adventure game and Take-Two Interactive's Private Division label on publish.
The title is coming Spring 2023 for PC on Steam and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It's a beautiful game with an interesting narrative and creative approach.
I spoke with the game's developers — Alexis Corominas and Jordi Ministral, two of the founders of Piccolo Studio — about their approach. They chose to set the game in a post-human world, which is usually not a pleasant premise for a video game.
But while it's devastating to think about what caused the apocalypse, the creators consider their title to be about "legacy and hope." The demo had no words, much like an experience like Flower. It has a similar kind of spirituality about nature, but this game is very different in its appearance.

You play as Gaia, the spirit of life, to restore hope to a broken planet in a surreal and post-human journey. You'll traverse environments and rescue the souls of extinct animals and harness the powers of Gaia to battle the dangers that plague a scorched Earth.
After Us showcases Piccolo Studio's style of delivering impactful storytelling and combines it with gripping exploration and adventure. Gaia must jump, glide, dash, wallride and swim to escape deadly obstacles and enemies. As the embodiment of life, she has the power to help restore and replenish the planet. By emitting bursts of light, Gaia triggers the growth of new plants revealing new paths through which to travel.
After Us depicts a fantasy world shaped by the destructive actions of an unbridled society, experienced by the player across ten different biomes. Players learn the final fates of various majestic creatures, such as the last harpooned whale, the last caged eagle, or the last hunted deer, before resurrecting their spirits to bring the world back to life. Each new environment presents new challenges for Gaia and tells the stories of these animals' final moments before their culminating moment of rebirth.
