Blumhouse Games announces a lot of horror games
Back to Geoff on stage. Now it’s Blumhouse Games, the Five Nights at Freddie’s film studio, and they’re entering video games in “a big way”, we’re told. We see a trailer.
Crisol Theater of Idols by Vermila Studios. Crave Seasons from Perfect Garbage. Sleep Awake from Eyes Out. Fear the Spotlight from Cozy Game Pals. The Simulation from Playmestudio. Sam Barlow is involved somewhere.
There are a lot of games coming out under the label, evidently. It’s a bit like a platform, or an anthology? It’s not really clear.
Ah! Here’s Jason Blum, the founder of the company, here to tell us all about it. What a Hollywood smile he’s got. They’re working on a sequel to Five Nights at Freddie’s he says.
“Horror, to my great relief, is getting more and more popular… We wanted to take our approach to movies and apply it to games.” They’re giving independent creators a platform to make “the most f-ed things possible” and put them into games.
Louise Blain, the creative lead of Blumhouse Games now. She’s telling us there’ll be all kinds of horror sub-genres explored under their label. There’s psychological stuff, cosmic horror. To be fair, it did look like a very eclectic list.
Bless her, she’s frozen a bit on stage.
