Few people are as successful with their very first game as Finnish developer Jesse Makkonen was with his hauntingly beautiful psychological horror game, Silence of the Sleep. To put it in perspective, that was his first stab at making video games, and he did it alone. His next project is another 2D horror game titled The Human Gallery, and it looks every bit as terrifying, eerie and visually unforgettable as his last.
The Human Gallery follows an artist who decides to enter the mind of a psychopath in order to find inspiration for his next work. This guy clearly hasn’t seen Cell, because if he had, he’d know how bad that idea is.
Like Silence of the Sleep, the emphasis is on atmosphere. The interface will be minimal, the controls simple but polished, and it’ll be backed by another moody soundtrack. I can’t wait.
