When it comes to the gaming experience, the CEO of Daedalic Entertainment Cartsen Fichtelman explained: “When you play Gollum, you will play Sméagol at the same time. You have to make some decisions, maybe some decisions that come more or less from Sméagol and some that come from Gollum. You can decide for yourself what you would like to see more. When you decide a few things, it might be, this is reflected in the mechanics. The game forces you to convince yourself and find one of these two positions. When it comes to other iconic characters from the universe, in Middle-earth, we’ll see what happens around Gollum. “
It is also explained that it is not just “choosing to be Sméagol or Gollum, because for Gollum as an entity it is not so easy. Each personality is attacked by the other; everyone must defend himself “. It is also explained that “the decisions you make affect the feel of the game. You always play as Sméagol or Gollum as the “dominant” character and this can affect animations, soundscapes, certain game situations and game dialogues. “
