Suddenly, the grey screen dissolved into a 3D environment. It looked like Yooka-Laylee , technically. The geometric shapes, the vibrant grass textures, and the sprawling platforms were there. But the colors were desaturated. The sky was a static, looping video of a fluorescent light buzzing in an office ceiling.

Yooka-Laylee is a 3D platformer game developed by Playtonic Games and published by Team17. The game was initially released in 2017 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It's a spiritual successor to the Banjo-Kazooie series, with a similar gameplay style and charm.
