Robbery of the Colonists Museum in the Game Rescue African artifacts from the Colonists' Museum
Restart It is a robbery game about African artifacts from Western countries developed by independent South African studio Nyamakop. Restart Set in a future timeline, Western countries signed a treaty to return looted items to their African origin, but things were not planned. Instead, Western leaders hid artifacts in private collections, so it depends on the Ragtag crew in Johannesburg, South Africa to develop strategies and steal them.
Restart Breaked into tasks, each task consists of briefings on artifacts, penetration planning phases and robbery. The gameplay is a mix of puzzles and actions, before you figure out each building, set up your run, and then execute the plan. Once you grasp the target artifact, the safety alert goes out and your escape time is limited, so thorough preparation is key.
On the day of the developer, the video was revealed Restartproducer Sithe Ncube, citing a crazy statistics from a key report on African Cultural Heritage in 2018, said: “90% of sub-Saharan African cultural heritage is in Western collections. It's millions, millions are millions, millions are millions, millions in human remains, including humans, including millions, including millions.
Location Restart It is fictional, but the 70 artifacts you have to steal are real, they are all currently in Western and private collections, away from the original house and owner.
Nyamakop is one of the largest independent game studios in sub-Saharan Africa, with about 30 developers working on it Restart Now. Its previous games, spherical platformer Appearancewas the first IP to enter the Nintendo console to develop in Africa and hit the Switch in 2018. Appearance On the Switch, Nyamakop co-founder Ben Myres had to guide himself around the world, buy one-way tickets and make an appearance at the daisy chain at the Daisy Festival. Myres explained this to Engadget on E3 2018:
“Entering the curve is to be an independent game developer in South Africa like the face of a cliff. Because you don't have connections, a platform holder like Xbox, Sony. You don't have a representative living in your country. The media is important here. Here, there isn't a big enough market to sell enough markets, so you have to sell to Westerners in the West, if you have to sell to Westerners, if you have to carry out. If you have to give. Be able to do that.”
Nyamakop has seen significant growth since 2018, Restart Myres and Ncube said in 2024 that this is an undisguised African game by most POC teams.
Ncube tells GamesIndustry.biz. “We say it should be a thing, we should make games for Africans because we are playing games made in the West. But if you make games, will people even play those games? Then, even if you are targeting people's games…even if you are going to make a really good game, there is no guarantee that you will be playing a lot of people. So I think there will be a certain level of confusion, and I can say that in the wrong situation, we can say that we can say that it's a disadvantage.
Restart The Epic Games Store and Xbox Series X/S are developing Steam, and although it doesn't have a solid release date, it can provide a wish list.
