Project Windless creative director says the developers chose a 9-foot warlike rooster goliath as their protagonist because literally 'every candidate' interviewed to work on the game wanted to play as one: 'All of them—and we were like, OK'

Project Windless, Krafton Montreal's open-world action RPG based on Korean fantasy series The Bird That Drinks Tears, features a 9-foot sword-wielding rooster warrior as protagonist. Creative director Patrik Méthé revealed the studio chose the unconventional hero because every developer candidate interviewed for the project wanted to play as one. The choice has resonated with players since the game's reveal.
