The Nintendo 64 game presented in '99 is only now completed

The Carnivalé: Cenzo's Adventure videogame for Nintendo 64 was presented as a prototype in 1999 at E3 in Los Angeles, following the success of the disturbing and homonymous animated film that had been released shortly before in European cinemas. The development of the game by TerraGlyph did not last long, however, as the company had encountered some financial problems and so the distributor Vatical Entertainment had canceled the project. Twenty-three years later, the game has finally been completed and can be downloaded as a rom and played.

In the grim 1999 animated film Carnivale (no accent, ed), a group of kids were catapulted into an unusual amusement park where the initial enthusiasm and fun for the discovery of a place to be explored gave way to the restlessness of an increasingly gloomy landscape and, above all, to the need to escape as soon as possible in order not to run the risk of being trapped forever , transformed into inanimate objects. Animated by art director Daene Taylor, who also worked with Tim Burton for example in Nightmare Before Christmas, this dark work is not very well known in Italy, but it has legions of fans who have not forgotten a very particular story, which can now be finally played too.
