I’m so desensitized to horror that there are only about 10 horror games that have ever scared me, but what I find fascinating is that four of them have been made by the same studio: @frictionalgames.bsky.social.

Another beautiful piece of fan art by David 🤩
David Saavedra@flipation.bsky.social · 2y agoI really love #penumbra from it's first demo. The feeling of being lost in the mine tunnels with no weapons, surrounded by darkness and listening the wolves around the corners... It was the first time a game scares me so much. I draw this illustration as tribute. @frictionalgames.bsky.social
These guys are HOT!
David Saavedra@flipation.bsky.social · 2y agoI bought #AmnesiaThedarkdescent the same day it was released (I know about it because I followed the Penumbra saga), and it influenced me so much that I ended up creating a couple of illustrations inspired by the game. Amnesia, is a excellent terror game developed by @frictionalgames.bsky.social
Moutwashing was so good our artist Alfons had to make some fan art Great game by Wrong Organ, we’re big fans over here 🫶
