Could you build this?

Partial The game engine, platforming mechanics, and save systems can be scaffolded with AI-assisted game development in an engine like Godot, but a 196-screen campaign with illustrations, puzzles, and polish needs large amounts of art, level design, and playtesting.

What it would actually take: Build in a 2D engine such as Godot or Unity with tilemap level editors, a state-machine character controller, and save data. The bottleneck is content production: illustrated art, animation, level design across 196 screens, balancing, and QA, which require a team of artists and designers.
