Speaking to the PlayStation.Blog, Puppeteer creator Gavin Moore has revealed that the game will take at least 15 hours to complete, and that’s if you actually charge through the game without finding any of the secret stuff. The game follows a boy called Kutaro enslaved by the evil Moon Bear King and transformed into a puppet. His head is then tossed off into a cellar and Kutaro must use other objects to give himself a head.
A new trailer for Puppeteer has been released at the Tokyo Game Show, showing more of the story, without giving too much away. The game didn’t get a show-floor playable demo since it’s still in the early stages of development. The developers are currently looking for voice actors, so some of the voices in the new trailer may not be up to scratch.
