addedOur first teaser went viral, then we got a cease & desist from lawyers. Months of legal negotiations followed. We rebranded to Borneo: A Jungle Nightmare and went 3D, but the new trailer triggered an international backlash accusing us of racism and daily death threats. Internally, some of us wanted to cancel the project entirely. Deodato told us: "Don't worry guys, I've already been there. Just do your thing and ignore them."
changedBy end of 2021, Ruggero's health was failing. In December 2022, he passed away. We held our horses, decided to continue, and released a short visual novel (Cannibal Tales) to build the universe while we figured out the right shape for the main game.
