Over the weekend, YouTube’s algorithmic gods suggested I watch the trailer for an upcoming video game called Horror Tycoon. I gave it a gander, seeing as how I love both horror and tycooning games, and wouldn’t you know it? Horror Tycoon looks great! In it, you apparently build one of those elaborate Halloween haunted house walkthroughs, then subject your hapless visitors to all manner of scares and deadly boobytraps. Love it. Sold.
Jazzed about the upcoming macabre management simulator, I looked up Horror Tycoon’s developer, Gameparic, to see if the indie studio had any other titles available in the works. Turns out, they do: mostly pretty self-explanatory stuff like Lake Resort Flipper, Bartender Simulator, Kaiju Commander... and then something called Project Wunderwaffe. Hmm, “Wunderwaffe?” My German is rusty, but I’m guessing maybe, like, a waffle making simulator of some kind?
