Horror has seen a resurgence in recent years, where more original movies have come out of the woodwork to terrify their audience. With the rise of original ideas such as Sinners, Weapons, Bring Her Back, and Obsession, it’s clear that people want more horror. But there’s uncharted territory that indie directors are only now dipping their toes into, and it’s the world of indie games.
Video game adaptations have been hit-or-miss for years, most recently with Return to Silent Hill‘s poor attempt at psychological horror, Until Dawn‘s lackluster interpretation of the supernatural-slasher genre, and Uncharted, Minecraft, and Borderlands‘ awful casting and questionable on-screen chemistry.
