During IGN Live, Patrice Désilets, the creator of 1666: Amsterdam, shared insights about the game's extensive development, which spanned over 15 years. He discussed the game's narrative structure, where players will experience different timelines through various characters, including Clio in modern times, her father Aaron in 1999, and the witch Noa in 1666. Désilets explained that players will spend 5% of their time in the present, 15% in 1999, and the majority in 1666, describing the two historical periods as reflective of each other. A standout feature of the game is the ability to play as a cat, representing a character from 1999. This creative choice adds a unique twist to the gameplay. A playable 30-minute demo is currently available for players to experience for free on Steam and the Epic Games Store, generating excitement for the full release.
