'That's your toolkit, physics things, things going wrong, chaos, and then you as a performer, as a player, you bring your own element to it,' Pick explains. Still, there's enough potential for new goofiness here that I'm willing to let my beloved individual finger controls go. Its biggest use case was probably closing all of the fingers except one so you could be extra rude to your patient before cracking open his rib cage with a claw hammer.īut I loved it, enough to make my own crummy puzzle game (opens in new tab) inspired by the unique control scheme. Yeah, it was a bit of a gimmick since there was rarely any reason not to just open and close all of them at once. The gestures replace one of my favorite features from the first game: individual finger control.

'That's been really nice to see, this unintended design consequence from having the hand feel as physical as it is.' 'It's quite a unique thing that I haven't seen in a game before where you're using this very expressive controller to actually give instructions nonverbally,' Pick says. Need two lungs? You could snap to get your teammates' attention, then point to a lung and hold up two fingers.

A series of pre-programmed gestures let you put it to use for more than just yanking off limbs and pushing big buttons. Voice chat works, of course, but you've also got that hand sticking out in front of you. You'll need to coordinate your efforts with your new colleagues to be effective.

Surgeon Simulator 2 expands the formula from a one-person surgery/comedy show to a four-player improv medical team (though you can still do the whole thing in single player if you prefer). Other levels require you to search around labs and offices for a specific item, such as a cassette tape, before you can proceed like Gone Home, only if you were playing as a handful of tiny martians operating their human disguise for the first time. Thus the door that will only open for a leg offering was created. Which is why we tried to take the essence of Bob in the first game, which is getting in there and doing some really specific things, and cutting in really specific points, and taking organs out in very specific orders, just sort of spreading that out into the world.' 'As the controller got more and more honed, and it started to feel really nice and expressive, we realized that if you're moving around in this space, you want to be able to do something meaningful with the hand beyond just Bob.

'It's actually possible to do precise, accurate movement, but obviously everything that is normally simple is really difficult,' Gallardo says.
