@DUSKdev
Dave Szymanski will be breaking down his minimalist horror title Iron Lung as well as talking us through the horror theming that was so important to titles in the shooter genre, like in his game DUSK and the seminal classic DOOM.
Philippe Morin and David Chateuneuf, co-founders of
@TheRedBarrels
and co-creators of the Outlast series will be giving their insights into how they imagined up such a terrifying and dark series.
Considered the first survival horror game on the PS2, Extermination took heavy inspiration from John Carpenter's The Thing.
Weirdly, the European and North American versions feature different protagonist designs and a completely different localisation with unique voice actors.
Inspired by Giallo movies, Bloodwash follows player character Sara, a pregnant woman who's washing machine breaks down, on a visit to the laundromat.
Unfortunately for her a creepy guy takes quite the interest in her, and he may just be the town serial killer.

@ThomasGrip
from
@frictionalgames
as he talks us through the explosion of the horror gaming scene that he played a part in creating with his work on Amnesia, Penumbra and Soma.
Did you know Dino Crisis had a six part manhua series. It is apparently a very *very* loose adaptation of the first game with only the basic premise being similar, also the buildings and dinosaurs change size issue to issue.
A lot of great cover art though!

#Manhua
@yoshiro_kimura
one of the visionaries behind the controversial cult classic Rule of Rose will speak about his time working on the game and the incredible legacy it has left behind.
Did anyone play The Thing game that released on Xbox, PC and PS2? It surprisingly wasn't too bad and actually managed to capture a lot of the vibe of Carpenters classic.

Did you know The Grudge had a Wii Game?
Billed as a "haunted house simulator", the game was a fairly short experience without any combat where players would use the wii remote as a flashlight as they navigate different haunted locations. Strange this is a Wii exclusive

@romero
joins us once more after previously appearing in FPSDOC to discuss with us further his genre-defining work and examine how the satanic horror theming caused quite a few controversies over the years.
The Fatal Frame series unique approach to horror combat through photography meant that you had to let the ghost enemies get as close as possible to you to land the most effective hit. A great example of a risk vs reward mechanic in a survival horror setting

@PatrickJDoody
co-writer of Silent Hill: Homecoming will speak on his experiences taking up the task of writing the first Silent Hill title created under a new Western studio, and the challenges of taking over control of such a beloved IP.
Might be a hot take but this game deserves more recognition. Sure it didn't always land right, but multiplayer online Resident Evil...on PS2!?
On ambition alone and how ahead of its time it was, Outbreak deserves its roses.
