His physique carries scars and marks left by experiments. We didn’t simply design random wounds – we thought fastidiously about what sorts of experiments he may need been subjected to, and what sort of traces they would go away behind.

Which means that whereas the left facet has numerous issues just like the watch from Dying Gentle and Jade’s necklace wrapped round his wrist, the suitable facet of his physique has issues like a scar throughout half his face, and his corrupted eye.

“Even his outfit and kit have been designed with intention,” Techland wrote. “Nothing about Kyle’s look is random. His radio, his clothes, his equipment – all the things was chosen to suit his story. For example, we added a small immersive element along with his walkie-talkie: in the beginning of the sport, its battery is full, however by the tip, it’s near 0%. These tiny touches matter to us, and it’s at all times rewarding when gamers discover them.”
