If the scenes making up the Maquisard video game look familiar, there's a good reason why: it was inspired by Wes Anderson's 'The Grand Budapest Hotel.' Complete with a young lobby boy as the main character and a slew of unique characters, Maquisard depicts life in a quaint yet quirky hotel with an underlying mystery that the boy must solve.
Of course, what will enamor more than anything else when it comes to the Maquisard video game is its overall design. Taking on the form of a digital doll house complete with pastel colors, players will have to navigate through each room in order to find a secret agent. Maquisard was created by students at New York University's Game Center.
