Interview: Yumi Yuasa Talks Echochrome

Maurits Cornelis Escher was a Dutch graphic artist known best for creating optical illusion drawings that now hang on the walls of dorm rooms, but now M.C. Escher, as he's known in hip-hop circles, will see his life's work on display elsewhere -- or at least elsewhere in dorms -- with echochrome, a puzzle game Sony is releasing on the PlayStation Network that has players moving around Escher-esque worlds.

As Crispy Gamer learned when they spoke to the game's Associate Producer Yumi Yuasa at Sony's office in Santa Monica, there's actually more behind this game than a bunch of stoned college kids and some surrealist artist from the Netherlands.
