The developers have ideas on how to scare players.
Recently, Team Clout studio reminded about their horror game ILL. The developers published a diary dedicated to the creation of the game world, showed a selection of shots and explained their vision:
«Our story unfolds in a huge research FORT [Fort]. It is isolated, industrial and mysterious. And inside it there is a certain location that serves as a central hub - the very heart of the hidden infrastructure. Here, players will see a colossal structure, revealing its immensity not only from the outside, but also from the inside. At its core lies a massive turbine installation, which not only powers the FORT, but is also woven into the gameplay: exploration, movement mechanics, resource use, and puzzle-like interaction - all this finds its place here. Thus, players will have to do some serious work to find a way to make their way forward».
The authors noted that the main visual sources of inspiration were brutalism and constructivism: «exposed concrete, raw steel and the impressive beauty of industrial design. These references helped us create an environment that feels both monumental and suffocating».
Usually in horror games, «horror» thrives in narrow corridors, but in this case, the developers set themselves a different task - they wanted to create horror inside a huge hall.
