Question for Olli Harjola: While I was playing The Swapper, I couldn't help but get sucked into the atmosphere of the game. The combination of the ambient sound, dark visuals, and subtle music gave it a real Alien vibe. This was further compounded by the mystery surrounding the game's plot. My question is this: what were some of the challenges in development with creating the game's distinctive vibe and tone?

Hi! So, I'm a huge fan of your stuff. In particular I really dug Detention. In fact, I actually used your film as the basis of an assignment for my film class. The assignment involved me dissecting the use of sound and editing in a scene from a film, and I chose to use the musical montage/reverse-passage-of-time scene from the film. Just curious, can you elaborate on how you came up with that scene from the film, how it was filmed, and if there were any particular challenges filming and editing it? Thanks!
