I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like Unreal or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) becaus
