"...we are trying to evolve the adventure genre and to think of new puzzle ideas. We think about our games as toys: you should be playing the game not to finish it or to beat it, but to enjoy the experience. So for Samarost 3 [sic]  we’re adding several interactive toys where the goal is just to play and to enjoy even if you’ve finished the game. Atmosphere is very important to us – sounds, music, playfulness. We think about our games like movies or books – their value transcends the ending. When you finish a book, you can read it again a few years later. That’s what we want."

I can imagine them sitting on some discussion of ready game, with programmer: "Mmm... so...maybe we shall put some bugs inside? For example, wrenches disappear..."
