... that the developers of Jikandia: The Timeless Land wanted to make a game that could be finished in the time of a normal Japanese train commute? Source: "Opus Studio: In the city areas of Japan, everyone uses the train for their everyday commute. Like everyone else, our staff commutes via train, and we were talking about how it would be perfect if there was a game that we could finish in the time frame of our commute. That conversation was what gave us the idea for this game." [1]

@Nomader and Onegreatjoke: The hook is sourced to a gamer website and appears to be an interview with the studio. I think it is ok, but in the meantime you might look for another secondary source to support. Bruxton (talk) 19:54, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
