Not saying this is the case with 'Papo & Yo' but promoting it with hints of personal drama seems like shooting yourself in the foot if the game slowly builds to that revelation and otherwise it would be just a shady, pretentious marketing tactic (if the game doesn't actually deliver on that theme). Skilled artists in any medium use it to its full potential and should be done saying what they wanted to inside that medium without dropping hints and allusions everywhere. If you have to say something in the videogame medium than do so and don't make unrelated PR speeches I might or might not give a fuck about. The talk about autobiographical elements and such does make me exceptionally skeptical though. The narrative oviously doesn't go anywhere in the QL but it doesn't have to if it actually pays off later in a clever and big way.

I did enjoy what I saw here so it all depends on where they go with it later in the game.

Players will need to learn to use Monster’s emotions, both good and bad, to their advantage if they want to complete their search for a cure and save their pal.The style and surreal setting seem like they could be interesting. And yet, Quico loves his Monster and wants to save him.As Quico, players will build their friendship with Monster by solving puzzles together and adventuring through a magical, surrealist world. The minute he sees one hop by, he’ll scarf it down and fly into a violent, frog-induced rage where no one, including Quico, is safe.

That said, Monster does have a very dangerous problem: an addiction to poisonous frogs. Quico’s best friend, Monster, is a huge beast with razor-sharp teeth, but that doesn’t scare Quico away from playing with him.
