We spoke to developer Plot Twist's Bartek Lesiakowski for our latest interview, all about the darkly fantastical The Last Case of Benedict Fox, out on Xbox Game Pass next year:
The Last Case of Benedict Fox immediately caught our eye at the Xbox & Bethesda showcase with its dark, fantastical mix of Metroidvania and adventure elements.
Lesiakowski gave us a few hints on what these different worlds will be like to explore. “One of our main goals is to give players constant reasons to explore,” he begins. “We try to achieve that in a few different ways. One is to give you variety in your “typical” Metroidvania explorations. The other is to give you reasons to explore through the narrative itself by giving you more clues and glimpses into the story.
The Last Case of Benedict Fox is set in the 1920s, but it seems this wasn’t always the case. “The 1920s were not the setting that we originally planned,” Lesiakowski tells us. “Initially, we started closer to our times. However, as ideas and inspirations floated and Benedict was starting to take shape, the setting evolved too. We started going back in time, like a clock going backwards. Once we landed in the 1920’s, it felt right. It felt right with our narrative and with our gameplay.
As for his thoughts on the ideal achievement list: “To me personally, an ideal achievement list is one that you can complete in one walkthrough, figuring it out all by yourself without the need to refer to the internet. I know that for many people, achievements serve as an excuse to return to the title after the first pass.
