Hey guys! Hope everyone is well!

Just wanted to share the new trailer for my horror game that I am working on which is mostly inspired by a real life location in Mexico, Resident Evil, Silent Hill and a little bit of outlast mixed in with some Mexican folklore into it.

Do let me know what you think of the new trailer! Mostly it's showing off the environment and ambiance that I am going for. It would mean the world to me as a solo developer if you can wishlist's and share your thoughts!

You can also follow my progress on Twitter where I mostly share updates there: https://x.com/Steelkrill

Thank you all so much and do let me know what you think .. appreciate you all! :)

Love it man. Already wish listed it. We need more games willing to explore different avenues of horror. There's so much untouched potential.

[–] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Wow! I don’t want to tell you how to feel about your work, but I’d be damned proud of that!

[–] barooboodoo@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

Solo dev? Damn what a time to be alive, this looks amazing. I'll wishlist it but I don't play much horror. Might make an exception for this though!

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Damn i think you nailed the atmosphere

Not bad not bad man

[–] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

This looks rad man! Not much of a horror game guy, but I think you nailed the vibes just based off this trailer.

[–] PoopingCough@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Looks creepy! Love the idea. I will say from the trailer it looks like too much camera sway/bob. My personal preference is always to turn that kind of thing off but I understand some people like it. I'd suggest making it toggleable!

Looks good man. I might buy it.

Great work on the trailer, looks like from a bigger studio!

I remember seeing a documentary on that place. What a great location to base a horror game.

[–] AtomicHotSauce@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago
