Nostalgia is (and always has been) a popular tool employed by game designers, and it is something that many modern games use to try and recapture childhood wonder. And yet, for the first time in recent memory, a new release has tried a different approach, relying less heavily on nostalgia pandering, and instead on imitating the childlike power of imagination. Lil Gator Game<\/a> is not just a wonderfully charming game, but a holistic experience that will bring you back to an era you likely haven\u2019t revisited in a long time.<\/p>\n

Lil Gator Game follows the story of a young gator and his older sister. As young kids, the siblings spent their days playing in nature, using their imagination to create video game-inspired adventures to go on together. However, as they begin to grow up, Big Sis begins to spend more time working on schoolwork, and less time playing adventures with her brother. Becoming frustrated with Big Sis, Lil Gator decides to work with his friends to create their biggest adventure yet, in the hopes of getting her to join in. Throughout Lil Gator Game there is an overarching theme of embracing fun, no matter one\u2019s age. It is a lesson that should resonate with many people, and is exemplary of the game\u2019s deep undertones and great writing, despite the outwardly cute aesthetic.<\/p>\n
