Development and release
The game, originally developed under the title Lego Arthouse, has been described by Lego as "... a narrative journey about play itself, touching deeply on the belief of we only get old because we stop playing. Targeted at a more mature audience, it is an expression of the value of creativity in a coming of age story, set amongst a micro LEGO world heavily inspired by our AFOL community."[6] It was the first game developed by Light Brick Studio, Lego Group's own internal video game development studio.[7][8]
The Windows version of the game uses Nvidia RTX.
