“I’m thrilled about the opportunity to work with Mega Cat to bring Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land to Steam and to the Game Boy Color. Since this project is a love letter to the late 90s era of handheld games, it’s a very special thing to see it get the chance to reach a wider audience in the modern day,” said Graf, “I hope that those with nostalgia for that Game Boy Color era feel that this game scratches a similar itch, and I also hope to provide younger players with a new opportunity to engage with the vibes, music, and visual language of the era, which I think hold a unique sort of comfort.”
