He is, in a hyperbolic sense, the most human character. I suspect that I would respond to a SpongeBob-like individual the same way Squidward does ".

THQ Nordic unveiled a new trailer featuring gameplay at the end of their games showcase in August 2022. They present a playable demo of the game at Gamescom 2022.
