Controversial dev Luc Bernard's Holocaust-based adventure game Imagination is the Only Escape in the works for iOS and Android
"When I was younger, I started researching the Holocaust and what I saw really changed me, I could not believe such things had happened, I felt like it's something that more people need to know about."
Luc Bernard doesn't make things easy for himself. The next project for the controversial Mecho Wars (http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Mecho+Wars/review.asp?c=14023) developer, Imagination is the Only Escape, has been in gestation for over five years (http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/DS/Imagination+is+the+Only+Escape/news.asp?c=6029). In it, Bernard tells the story of a young Jewish boy caught in the middle of the Holocaust.
Imagination is the Only Escape was originally slated for release on the DS, but Nintendo eventually balked at the idea of publishing this game on its platform. Thus, the game got stuck in a sort of limbo.
Thanks to the rise and rise of crowdfunding, though, Bernard thinks the time is right to release the game.
"Let's be honest, no publisher will fund such a title, so it's nearly impossible to make something like this, that's why I decided to turn to crowdfunding."
