Petit Depotto (プチデポット) is the Nagoya-based video game developer responsible for the creation of Gnosia. They began as a doujin group called Globule in the early 2000s and made adventure games, but later rebranded before releasing the simulation tower defense game Unholy Heights in 2012.[1]
Staff[]
Petit Depotto consists of four members:
Mezukare[]
Mezukare's icon from an IGN interview.
Real name Toru Kawakatsu, Mezukare is Petit Depotto's producer and director. He initially avoided using his real name, but eventually decided to in order to ensure there was a clear point of contact for anyone aiming to work with Petit Depotto, appearing in numerous interviews since. He used money he earned from teaching at a vocational school and other jobs to help fund the development of Gnosia.[2]
Mezukare's favorite characters in Gnosia are Raqio and Yuriko. His favorite moment of the game is when Yuriko first appears, as it creates a sense that the game has truly begun.[3]
Shigoto[]
Shigoto's icon from an IGN interview.
Shigoto is Petit Depotto's programmer and scenario writer.
Shigoto's favorite characters in Gnosia are Gina and Yuriko. Being particularly fond of Gina, Shigoto went out of his way to hide her romantic event and wondered if anyone would find it.
His favorite events to write were Citizen Slime, Revenge of Time Clam, and Game Sermon.[3]
Kotori[]
Kotori's icon from an IGN interview.
Kotori, sometimes spelled Cotori, is Petit Depotto's graphic designer and illustrator. She also contributed vocals for the OST.[4]
Kotori's favorite characters in Gnosia are Remnan and Sha-Ming, both of whom Kotori designed based on her personal tastes. She also likes Chipie.[3]
Petit Depotto's name was inspired by a logo on Kotori's refrigerator.[1]
Q flavor[]
