Even before he released Lethal Company and helped catapult the burgeoning co-op horror genre forward, solo developer Zeekerss had a sizable collection of horror games under his belt. His latest game, Welcome To The Dark Place, is an unnerving text adventure enhanced by deeply atmospheric audio. Speaking with GamesRadar+ over email, Zeekerss says he didn't begin his game dev journey with horror; it just felt right.
"I didn't start by making horror games, but I found my home in this genre," Zeekerss says. "I don't know why, but it feels like fear has been my primary emotion ever since I was a kid. But it's a deeper thing; the emotional spectrum of fear and courage, hope and despair, is my way of interpreting the world. As an artist, it's my first language. I can branch out to other genres, but they'll always find their context in that."
