Speaking with Variety about his latest project, Valladares stated the game won’t last long and will offer only a few hours of gameplay. He stated:

In terms of format, the project is being designed as a microdrama-style FMV experience: a shorter interactive horror title, approximately two to three hours in length, with multiple endings and branching narrative paths.

Valladares further stated that the project was born from the idea of creating something that feels physically haunted. The director has co-written the project with screen and game writer Barry Keating, who previously worked on games like Sifu and Steep.

Valladares is shooting the game production entirely on 16mm using Bolex H16 cameras. More information about the title, such as a release date, has yet to be shared. Follow us to stay updated on all the latest information about horror games.
