Perhaps you've heard of a little game called Foolish Mortals coming out November 5th? Nearing the end of its four-year-development, it's the #2 game on Adventure Game Hotspot's "Hotly Anticipated" list, and its husband-and-wife creators David and Sophie Younger of Inklingwood Studios joined Joshua and Jack on their latest podcast. 

But you can never have enough Foolish Mortals goodness, and for his latest video Adventure Game Geek went above and beyond the call of duty to stalk visit the always engaging David and Sophie on their own turf for some great personal insights behind the scenes. 

See how the Youngers work side by side to bring their production to life, and discover how David's vision for the game goes from rough hand-sketched concepts to gorgeous final artwork. Learn how "The Ghost Game" got its final title, and which famous game designer gave it the ultimate seal of approval. Go back to where it all started with David's childhood homemade game creations. And last but certainly most important: find out what's up with the game's chicken, which has haunted development (hmmm) every step of the way, and even multiplied in the process! 

There's still a few days to go before diving into the "merry & macabre" (or the equally alliterative "spooky but not scary") point-and-click adventure for yourself, but AGG's on-the-spot video will both entertain you and help pass a least a little time while you wait.
