Obviously I'm super happy about the reactions, but one has to remember that every mechanic itself is tied to the gameplay. Because something we're trying to do at Hazelight is always make sure that whatever happens in the story will be reflected in the gameplay.

In a sense, it is, but in a sense it's not, I would say. I knew this would get a reaction online, so I just wanted your view on this scene that's quite tonally different from the rest of the game. When I was playing the game with my girlfriend, her reaction to the scene… Her mouth was agape as we dragged the elephant kicking and screaming. From what I've seen online, there's been quite a big reaction to it, and I knew there would be. So the main reason I wanted to talk to you is this Cutie scene. But the whole thing - I mean maybe you want to ask the question first. Dark humour is very popular in England, obviously, so there's definitely a link there.

It's protracted, disturbing, and ridiculous. After battling their way through a magic castle, they find the saccharine stuffed animal and proceed to drag her to her doom, kicking and screaming, her leg and ear yanked off in the process. To do this, they decide to kill Rose's favourite toy: an elephant plushie named Cutie. After being transformed into dolls by their daughter Rose's tears, divorcing parents Cody and May reason that they must make her cry once again in order to reverse the spell. If you're reading this, we trust you know what we're referring to. We need to talk about Cutie the elephant. However, there's one scene in particular that stands out for most players. It's a rollercoaster ride with some truly memorable moments throughout its runtime. The latest effort from Hazelight Studios is a joyous adventure packed to bursting with variety, endlessly bringing you new settings, scenarios, and gameplay.

If you haven't already, go play the game, it's great. Spoiler Warning! This feature openly discusses moments within It Takes Two that are best experienced first-hand.
