The Greatest Game Developer
Makoto Yoshida is a novice game developer working at a major company in a world where creating games means crafting entire realities. With advanced virtual reality tools, developers shape vast and vivid worlds using only their thoughts and imagination, yet the process is both more effortless and infinitely more complex.
In this era, game development is one of the most prestigious careers in society. But despite Makoto's education, passion, and potential, he's stuck creating forgettable mini-games and ad mascots, until everything changes.
When his company launches a program to promote new talent, Makoto stumbles upon a genre in the selection list: Survival Horror. That single term shatters something deep within him. In a surreal burst, a flood of foreign memories pours into his mind, entire franchises, characters, plots, mechanics, and music from another world.
Armed with this mysterious knowledge, Makoto enters the SeedNet system and begins his project. His brilliance shines through character design, voice direction, game balance, and realism. And as the days pass, his legend begins.
Makoto would go on to become the visionary mind who redefined the Survival Horror genre, with masterpieces like Resident Evil, The Last of Us and Outlast. He was the soul behind the emotional brilliance of To The Moon, revolutionizing the RPG adventure/visual novel experience.
He reimagined what storytelling meant with the noir-fantasy drama The Wolf Among Us, pushed the boundaries of cinematic action with Uncharted, touched the world with the emotional weight of Undertale, and breathed life into Pokémon, the beloved franchise that captured generations.
Makoto Yoshida was not just a developer.
He was the creator who made us feel again.
