Horror, Dark Souls and Assassins Creed = Alone at Night

The Gaming Blender

Fancy setting us a gaming challenge? Get in touch here!

Ready to level up your gaming knowledge? Matthew and I boldly envision a horror game featuring an asymmetrical multiplayer system, inspired by elements like Dark Souls bonfires. Additionally, we delve into the power of narrative in horror games and the bone-chilling impact of first-person play. We even draw parallels to the adrenaline pumping chase scene from Bourne Ultimatum. As if that wasn't enough, we also brainstorm on designing a tense vampire quest, dissecting possible player choices and their impact on gameplay, and even throw in a moral element. Tune in for a captivating exploration of game mechanics and design that will leave you eager for more.
We also plunge into the mesmerising world of Baldur's Gate. We openly geek out about the game's impressive build that made a downgrade for Xbox impossible, turning it into Sony's unexpected exclusive.
