Hidden Horror Genre
Bloober Team is bent on creating truly psychological horror experiences. Games focused on storytelling, mystery and terror (anticipation building). To fully realize this vision the company has developed a Hidden Horror genre, which is led by two main principles:
- Subject – a game needs to have a subject, a linking point to all of its elements. It’s most often psychological or sociological in nature.
- Catharsis 2.0 – Catharsis is the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions. Catharsis 2.0 builds upon this term by adding an additional layer of feedback – what you just experienced should lead to you to conclusions in your real life.
