“I wanted to do something that was just stupid and over the top and really self-indulgent,” says the game’s creator.

After working at developer Giant Sparrow on indie darlings such as “The Unfinished Swan” and “What Remains of Edith Finch,” Esposito would go on to create “Donut County,” an indie success story if ever there was one. Released by arthouse indie game publisher Annapurna Interactive in 2018, the game about raccoon app developers swallowing up Los Angeles with a hole in the ground caught the current of mainstream success.

Upon beating a level, you’re awarded a medal ranging from bronze to ace. Achieve an ace runtime, and you’ll unlock a leaderboard of the fastest times of other players. Maybe someone got the jump a half second before you could, or maybe someone’s halved your time with a shortcut you didn’t know about. Beat a level fast enough, and you may unlock the secret red ace medal. That feeling of wanting to shave fractions of a second off your time is the game’s real origin.

“Neon White” doesn’t share many similarities with the most popular games in Esposito’s portfolio. Games like “What Remains of Edith Finch” are labeled “walking simulators” for their slow pace, with a narrative experience unfolding largely around the player. Walking is slow. “Neon White” wants you to be constantly thinking of how to be faster.
