Papo & Yo developer announces new game about bullying

Papo & Yo developer Minority Media Inc has unveiled the project that it is currently working on. Called Silent Enemy, the game will explore the topic of bullying.

The game will feature an Aboriginal character who embarks on a quest to find springtime. Set in Northern Quebec, the protagonist will find himself bullied by crow-like creatures that hinder his quest.

According to the teaser, the development team has drawn upon its own experiences as victims of bullying in the creation of the game.

It is currently unknown which platforms Silent Enemy will be released on. Papo & Yo was released for the PlayStation 3 in August last year, and has since made its way on to Steam last month. The game was positively received in GameSpot’s review, praised for the handling of its serious subject matter and empowering moments.
