HAVANA: Cuba’s first independent video game launched internationally this week after its creators leveled up from an epic real-world quest: battling sanctions, wrestling with Internet connection demons, and forging through economic turmoil.
Saviorless is a 2D game with hand-drawn illustrations that invites players into a dark fantasy world to unravel the mystery of the “Islands of Smiles” by fighting monsters and solving puzzles.
