Blumhouse
Last year, Blumhouse opened up a video game studio so it had another medium to scare audiences in. As it turns out, the company has six games it’ll be publishing all of them from indie studios like Cozy Game Pals, Perfect Garbage, and Eyes Out. What’s interesting to see is how they each cover a different type of horror and format: Vermila’s Crisol Theater of Dolls looks to be a horror-shooter, while PlayMeStudio’s The Simulation is focused on horror from a technology aspect. That range of experiences is a good move, particularly as an opening salvo of what Blumhouse hopes to be a long life as a game publisher.
Of the ones shown, the biggest is Project C, courtesy of Immortality studio Half Mermaid. Sam Barlow, who directed and wrote that game, is teaming with filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg (Infinity Pool) for that one.
