I’m only a couple hours intothe game for review, yet I’ve found myself incredibly curious about what exactly was Junction Point’s criteria for the characters and references included in the game. I mean, when you’re drawing from EIGHT DECADES of forgotten cartoon characters and Disneyland attractions, how do you definewhat makes the cut?
Warren Spector and his team elaborate on the choices made while culling from the remarkably well-preserved Disney Archives in the video above, and it almost makes me glad I wasn’t anywhere near the process.

I move that I could not, and I’d be fired swiftly. And probably continue to make crude photo collages like the one below.
