The Far Shore: The Art of Superbrothers and the Making of Jett

By Adam Hammond

Book Overview

The genius and artistry behind Superbrothers and the making of an indie video game, from inception to its highly anticipated launch with PlayStation 5.

Video game lovers, rejoice.

Ten years ago, Superbrothers's Sword and Sworcery was released, ushering in an exciting era of "indie games," with the aesthetic of punk rock and the edge of modernist fiction, games that pushed against GamerGate.

Superbrothers' (Craig D. Adams) followup, JETT: The Far Shore, will be released with gaming behemoth Sony's PlayStation 5.

The Far Shore recounts the history of indie games and the genesis and making of JETT. A riveting look at one of our most popular, influential art forms.
