Here are the two main characters: Charlie, our hero, and the Evil Alien, who wakes up the puppets.
Charlie represents the archetype of the anti-hero, one who is in the right place at the wrong time and must stop the forces of evil.
The design of the Alien is obviously a tribute to 50’s Sci-Fi movies. The old classic representation of the alien that makes us smile, when today’s aliens are really scary.
Specifically, the eye is a tribute to the movie “It Came from Outer Space” of 1953, mentioned in many other movies and video games like “Planet 51” and “Metal Gear Solid 3.”
