Earlier this year, we flew to tha ltd. and Enhance Experience in Tokyo to discuss the making of Humanity – 2023's best puzzle game. This video game documentary speaks to the core creative team, including Tetsuya Mizuguchi (Tetris Effect, Rez) and tha ltd. creative director Yugo Nakamura, about the project's origins, its complications and lengthy development cycle, and how it came to show us the nature of humanity.

While, on its surface, Humanity is a puzzle game about leading groups of people to a goal, as its name implies, its story wrestles with ideas of what it means to be human, the nature of groups, and why we always seem to resort to violence. Humanity's story reflects real-world events, showing us the paths we're currently on.
