"The story and game design for Mata Hari are provided by Hal Barwood and Noah Falstein... The actual development of the game is being done by the Hanover-based 4Head Studios."
Well..from the news piece it looks like they will write the whole story and all the puzzles, while 4Head will handle the actual graphics, animations etc. It sounds like Broken Sword 4-like development, with 4Head similiar to SUMO.
It's propably the future of the genre, at least for american designers(nobody will give US developer decent money for making adventure game, but outsourcing actual content creation might work fine)
