FAQ:
What inspired you to create ZAAM?
ZAAM was originally inspired by too highly profile cases from around the world, the first on is the case of disappearance of “Madeleine McCann” (Unsolved),
the second is the case of disappearance of “Rose Pizem” (which later led to the incrimination of Rose parents).
The cases happened around 2008, and in both of them there are a lot of unsolved questions,
and an undertone of unsettling story. I felt it would be interesting to place the player in a similar situation,
So, he can decide for himself how a why stories like that happens, and if there is any resiliation that can be found?
And why do we keep on hearing about this kind of cases,
Where of a small child is going missing and something with the parents is wrong.
Was there any part of the writing process you found difficult?
The writing of the story was very difficult on a personal level and in a practical way as well,
trying to combine the story with my personal story was hard.
There were lots of drafts, but finally I felt that I got the result that I wanted.
How long is the game?
About an hour and a half for a quick run-through, and 3 hours for completionists.
