Life after Lethal Company: solo creator Zeekerss says "weirdly, not a lot has changed" after one of the biggest indie hits in recent memory, and he still has "a good handful of ideas for games"

After a game like Lethal Company, conservatively estimated to have sold over 10 million copies on Steam since its October 2023 launch, solo creator Zeekerss is free to do whatever he wants. As demonstrated by his most recent release, the completely free text adventure Welcome To The Dark Place, which has been in the works for about 10 years, he still wants to make weird little horror games, and it doesn't matter if they don't make him any money.

In an email interview with GamesRadar+, Zeekerss explains that horror games have ironically become his happy place. He has plenty of ideas for new ones, like a spiritual successor to one of his previous top games, an open-world stealth game where you are being hunted, and yes, Lethal Company 2. But for now, he wants to finish his now two-year-old co-op horror hit, and with Welcome To The Dark Place finally unleashed, he's motivated to get Lethal Company out of early access.
