In October 2021, the producer of A Guidebook of Babel, Yutian, found an envelope. He stuffed the freshly signed and stamped ‘required material’ inside, and sent it to his partner publisher.
A Guidebook of Babel is the debut work of StarryStarry, a domestic Chinese independent game studio. The production team behind this retro-illustrated adventure game is very small, with only five people at the largest scale. After three years of head-to-head production, they finally developed the game to near completion. After discussing with the publisher, Yutian decided to apply for a publishing license for the title first, and then release it simultaneously at home and abroad.
