Frozenbyte has responded to criticism it has received regarding its latest game, Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power.

Frozenbyte vice president Joel Kinnunen began the apology train last week in a statement published on the Trine 3 Steam page. He admitted the shortness of the game, when compared to previous games in the series, was due to its switch to 3D. “We initially had a much longer story written and more levels planned, but to create what we envisioned, it would have taken at least triple the money, probably up to 15 million USD,” he said.

He then continues later on in his statement saying “the future of the series is now in question, as the feedback, user reviews and poor media attention has caught us by surprise.”

Today, Frozenbyte marketing manager Kai Tuovinen issued an apology in video published on the company’s official YouTube page. In the video, he blames himself for not explaining to fans the game was shorter than they would have expected. You can view that video below.

In our review, we considered it a good game with gorgeous graphics and creative physics-based puzzles, although we also did note its campaign was on the short side.
