Now, on-topic: I'm really curious to see this game. I'm concerned that it might hit too close to home, but horror is supposed to be uncomfortable.

I really need to try skydiving once. Played the demo to the game, sent chills down my spine. Backed his kickstarter immediately. Hope him all the success.

[Rec] was the last horror movie I loved, then I stopped watching since horror games have really eclipsed them.

Can we please, PLEASE have a full interview with Matt at some point? This man is genuinely fascinating to me and I would eat up an hour-long discussion on horror and his reaction to how all of this has panned out for him. Specifically, how someone can design a very video-gamey type of experience with retrograde, to creating something that he almost feels he HAS to make as a reflection of himself.

What a trip.

Such a striking art style. I can't wait to be too scared to actually buy it when it comes out!

I went and bought Retro/Grade after hearing this. This guy has been through really similar stuff to it and said some stuff that I've said about my own mental condition. Glad to know I'm not alone.
