It's the year 1999. Alternative metal band KoRn releases their fourth album, Issues, featuring cover art depicting a torn rag doll on it. The albums last promotional single, Somebody Someone, and its music video, released in 2000, features the band performing the song amidst some arthropods, like roaches, a spider, and a fly. Two years later, the band released a DVD compilation of music videos, interviews, and different behind-the-scenes clips. But, the twist was that once you put the disc on the DVD player, you would find yourself immersed in some kind of creepy escape room game, navigating through an apparently abandoned asylum and looking for hidden codes to unlock new videos in different locations. A rag doll, arthropods, and an abandoned house. Sound familiar? Well, fast forward to 2006, Mariona, now creative and art director in Mango Protocol, drew inspiration from listening to KoRn during those years to write a short and abstract story. In that story, she introduced a character based on the ragdoll from the "Issues" album cover. The narrative unfolded as the ragdoll explored around a house divided into concentric spaces, looking for insects to deliver to a girl who seemed to be working on some kind of obscure project.
Short storyboard inspired by KoRn's fourth album "Issues", and music video compilation "Deuce". While originally envisioned as a script for a puppetry-based short film, it wasn't until 2018 that the pieces fell into place. Mariona, along with Javi and Jordi, transformed her earlier ideas into the foundation for the fourth installment of the Psychotic Adventures saga: CLeM, a mystery puzzlevania adventure with a dark twist. Javi started working on that original abstract story and, knowing Mariona for more than 14 years, distilled all the ideas and thoughts behind it and adapted it into something that could fit better with the team's vision for a narrative-driven puzzle game. Maintaining the dark essence and main elements from Mariona's initial script, he expanded it into a fully realized story that resonated even more personally with her. Meanwhile, Jordi, armed with this narrative blueprint, crafted the gameplay, designing a really wide range of environmental and self-contained puzzles, each intricately linked to the overarching story. Every puzzle is tightly connected with the narrative, so they always feel coherent with the story, the characters, and the world in the game. Mariona, on the other hand, reimagined all the visuals for the story, starting with the player character the ragdoll. However, as it usually happens when Mariona starts doodling ideas, not many drafts are needed until the team falls in love with one of them.
We always wanted CLeM to be a cute and creepy experience, and Mariona knew that the ragdoll (that we call the servant) needed to have the cute element, with a tiny body but a big head, and a static but friendly face. Contemplating a few ideas for the inventory system, the concept of a zip on the nape of the servants head emerged as a practical solution since all items could be stored inside, which made a lot of sense and simplified the general design of the servant. It also allowed Jordi to add a nice animation to the zip puller while the servant is walking.
Lastly, Mariona still had many options for the eyes, the zip, maybe an eyebrow and some hair, and other details like patches or the actual colours for every part. Greenish, so they look more like a zombie? Brownish, so they somehow resemble the fabric of a potato sack? Well, during the first year of development we called that character potato, so you can guess which colours Mariona decided to go with.
And that's how our cute servant ended up looking how they do!
We hope you enjoyed learning about the inspirations and creative process behind the servant. Feel free to share your thoughts here, on our socials, and Discord server. We have some more content like this to show you in future publications so you can know more about the beautiful and twisted world of CLeM. Stay tuned! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1861440/CLeM/

Hey folks, long time no see! Some of you (especially those who still haven't joined our Discord server... yeah, I'm looking at you :P) may be wondering if we won the lottery and moved to some Polynesian paradise or maybe developed some common sense and finally decided to move into finance... Well, NO! We've been pouring countless hours of work into our upcoming game, CLeM, making it bigger, rounder, smoother, sweeter, in one word, better. But first, let us get into more detail so we can try to get you all hyped up:

Polishing CLeM and getting it ready for release

In case you are wondering, from left to right: Javi, Mariona and Jordi =) During the event we really enjoyed discussing with all the attendes that tried the game how they expect the story to unfold. We promise that we'll work the hardest we can to meet, and hopefully exceed, all your expectations. That's why we are continuously updating the demo that you can play right now in the game's store page. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1861440/CLeM/ So far, we have fixed some bugs and added a lot of nice tweaks while we keep improving everything we can.

• Explore an apparently abandoned house accompanied by an obscure voice and a notebook full of notes and drawings on alchemy, insects and other creepy-crawlies.
• Craft magic toys to unveil hidden secrets, access unreachable spots and reclaim items from the past.
• Choose your fate in this dark story of manipulation, submission, pride and redemption.

When Agatha was one year ago on BICFest 2017 at Busan, South Korea, she bought a bottle of soju for Nika. And she loved it. Today we are releasing an update for both games, MechaNika and Agatha Knife, that includes Korean translation thanks to SangWook Lee, 마셜, Doonce and 연두 (MechaNika team) and SangWook Lee, Koo JiHoe, Jung HyunSoo, TRNCH, Tos1n and Taek Bae (Agatha Knife team). Enjoy!

Hello there! Thanks to our partners WhisperGames, MechaNika has been fully localized to Chinese so, in case you couldn't join Nika in her destruction quest because it was not translated, now all the Psychotic characters in MechaNika speak Simplified Chinese! We hope you enjoy this crazy adventure!

Agatha Knife has been part of the official selection for the Busan Indie Connect Festival 2017 and guess what... It won the Excellence in Narrative award!
But it doesn't stop there, because it has also been nominated as a finalist for the Diversity Award in the TIGA Games Industry Awards 2017! Hopefully they keep coming! =D

As many of you may already know, we are working on our next Psychotic Adventures. In Agatha Knife, to be released this year, you will join the little butcher in the creation of Carnivorism, her own religion. In this new point and click adventure you'll learn about Agatha's story, one of the most beloved characters of MechaNika. We are also working on MechaNika's sequel (codename Colossus Down), but right now we are just prototyping some ideas, so there's still a lot of work to do. It will be a beat'em up with some really nice features that we'll announce in the near future. Anyway, you can take a look at these new stories in our new video and if you want to learn more about how we progress in the development of the new Psychotic Adventures follow us on Twitter or Facebook. We'll be posting about it! [img=http://www.mangoprotocol.com/img/blog_entries/17_psychoticAdventuresVideo/psychotic_adventures_nikagatha_wallpaper.jpg][/img]

Hurry up! Tell all your friends MechaNika is 60% off these holidays or send it as a gift to the chosen ones that you love the most! Because they deserve our awesome game! =D
If you want to be even more incredible, you can take a look at our Psychotic tees and bags, also with huge discounts! Check it out!

Hey psychotics! We've added a new option on MechaNika so now you can change the game cursor. You may want to do that because A) you don't like our awesome big cursor and you prefer your system's and/or B) you are having issues while trying to control the cursor. In any case, you can now toggle the cursor style in the options menu. If you are not able to do that because B, then just open the game preferences file (you can find it in %UserProfile%/.prefs/ on Windows or in ~/.prefs/ on Linux and OS) and change the value of the CURSOR SIZE attribute from BIG to SMALL. If you have any doubt or new issue, feel free to contact us and we'll try to do our best! Have fun!

Hey there! We've created a YouTube playlist with all MechaNika Let's play videos we know about. So, if you're stuck and don't know how to use this item or where to get that puzzle done, take a look at these videos! Cheers!

After dealing with some issues related to display resolutions and knowing that some of you'd like to have an option to play MechaNika on windowed mode we have added two new options, so now you can change the game resolution to one that properly fits your display and toggle the fullscreen mode.
Clicking on the display resolution button (the yellow one) the game will be configured in the next available resolution. You can click many times until MechaNika fits your display. These are the defined resolutions:

• 1280 x 720
• 1280 x 800
• 1366 x 768
• 1440 x 900
• 1600 x 900
• 1680 x 1050
• 1920 x 1080
• 1920 x 1200
• 2560 x 1440

Hey! During the last hours some people reported weird behaviors related to the display resolution and the cursor control. These issues affected all platforms, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, but some hours ago we fixed these issues and updated the game, so now everything should work like a charm. In case you find a new problem, do not hesitate to report it so we can take a look and fix it as soon as possible! You can open a new thread here in the community hub or send us an e-mail to info@mangoprotocol.com. Have a nice weekend!

Hi there! A month ago MechaNika was greenlit on Steam and now it has been released for PC and Mac. YAY!
For those who don't know about the game, MechaNika is the first episode of what we call the Psychotic Adventures, games that take place in the Psychotic world. This first episode features Nika, a smart 7 year old girl that doesn't like this world, so she wants to destroy it. A charming girl, isn't she? She has a plan to achieve her goal: a massive destruction weapon called MechaNika, but first she needs to find the remaining components so she can complete and assemble her invention. You will join her in her quest to find these components while you meet more Psychotic characters, like Marcus the meal dealer, Rosemary the almost blind and deaf video game addict granny, and Agatha the Carnivorist. We won't tell you anymore because we want you to play the game and discover the story with all the details we've put in it. We hope you really enjoy it! We'd like to know what you think about it, what you love, what you hate, your favorite character, anything you'd change to improve the game, etc. We are already working on new Psychotic Adventures, so your feedback is really important to us. By the way, we know that many people don't like the font that is depicted in the launch trailer and in the screenshots. Don't panic! You can choose a different font, more readable, if you want. Check it out in this video.
And one last note: bear in mind that MechaNika is not a game for kids, not because it has a cartoon pussy on it or because Nika takes a swig of her cognac and cocoa shake when she needs to see things clearer, but because they won't probably understand the story or the jokes. Despite its naïve visuals, the game exposes some adult themes, always from a fun perspective, of course. And... that's it! Nothing more to say. So thanks for your support and don't hesitate to post any comment, review or doubt you have on the community hub. Have fun!
