The Amazing Puppet Show is a game where you enter the stage of an eerie puppet theatre, and harvest the souls of led astray dolls by fighting them with physical controls that mimic the tangible trickiness of controlling a stringed real-life puppet.
This was the first game The Puppeteers, the team I was on, made during DADIU 2022. Not only had we just been thrown together as a team, but due to issues with the location our team would be placed at, we ended up being without wifi or ethernet, which ended up actually benefitting us a bit. It meant that the scope stayed small and our team got shaken together by what felt like a trial of fire.
