Psychologische horror in teaser trailer Neverending Nightmares

Een en al psychologische horror is te zien, in de teaser trailer van Neverending Nightmares. Dit pc project van ontwikkelaar Matt Gilgenbach, is losjes gebaseerd op zijn naar eigen zeggen, donkere periode uit zijn leven. Gilgenbach doet zijn boekje open over deze periode en licht zo het doel toe wat hij met de game wilt bereiken:

I suffered very badly from 2001-2003, and everything felt completely bleak and hopeless," says Gilgenbach. "It was so hard to just walk around and do the everyday tasks like get out of bed and go to classes. I am trying to create that feeling in Neverending Nightmares. The mood of the game is so oppressive that walking around almost feels difficult.

In addition, I am channeling very specific imagery from intrusive thoughts that I've suffered from because of my OCD. Intrusive thoughts are these crazy thoughts that your mind comes up with for the sole purpose of upsetting you. In my case, I've struggled with thoughts of violent self-harm. I've actually re-created some of my visions in the game like pulling the vein out of my arm or tearing out an arm bone.

Finally, a lot of the themes of the game's story are obsessive worries that I constantly think about. I don't want to give too much away about the story, but I am definitely trying to make it very personal.

Neverending Nightmares moet verschijnen op 31 december voor de pc. Een zeer interessant concept en voor de liefhebber van dit soort games wellicht iets om in de gaten te houden. Bekijk de teaser trailer hieronder voor een nog betere indruk.
