When Coldwood Interactive announced Unravel at E3 2015, its main character Yarny captured everyone's heart. The adorable little yarn-man's platforming adventures were fun, and the sudden arrival of a co-op focused sequel lets players share that fun with friends. Unravel Two is a relaxing game and a welcome return for Yarny.
Yarny is back, and this time, it's personal.
Unravel, which stars a little red knitted character called Yarny, is unusually personal. It is an intimate game, tied to a certain place and time, and it very obviously means something to the people who made it.
Video: One of the best moments of E3 2015 was watching Coldwood Interactive's Martin Sahlin take the stage during EA's presser, nervously gripping the hero of Unravel. Now Sahlin's released a video showing us how to make our very own Yarny.
The something gorgeously sincere about Unravel and when we get excited about this video game, that's what we're responding to I think: its sincerity.
This new footage has done nothing to sway me from my gut feeling: this could be one of the most interesting video games of 2016.
Video: Few games announced in 2015 looked as charming as Unravel, which we'll get a chance to play on February 9. Kotaku's Jason Schreier spent time with the game earlier this year and said it's "stellar". Not a bad way to start 2016!
