Games I Played in 2020: Work x Work (aka Heroland)


Work x Work (localized as Heroland) is a game about... work. Available on the Switch, PC, PS4, (and apparently IOS eventually???) it's helmed by some really great names, with Nobuyuki Inoue (director of Mother 3) as scenario writer, Takahiro Yamane (one of the directors of Fantasy Life) as the director, Nobuhiro Imagawa (art director of Mother 3) handling the art direction here, and Tsukasa Masuko (who did a lot of the early SMT soundtracks) handling the OST. Also produced by Takuya Yamanaka, who was the director/producer of The Caligula Effect (+Overdose) so I will be inherently really biased about this game due to Caligula being one of my fave games ever.
