It’s a little surreal to see Hopetown mentioned by both The Financial Times and The New York Times recently.
For our small team at Longdue, it’s a reminder of why we’re making narrative games — to explore perception, truth, power, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
“Every isometric scene is a painting.”
Our latest On the Record features Hopetown’s Art Director, Astri Lohne, sharing how she builds painterly spaces, rugged characters, and surreal moods.
