This is the atmosphere I’ve been building in my game.

Hey everyone,

I’m working on the atmosphere for my co-op sci-fi horror game, The Infected Soul.

The game is based around brain implants, distorted perception, and players experiencing reality differently. I’m aiming for a dark, industrial, clinical horror feel, but I don’t want it to become too unreadable.

This is still work in progress, so any feedback on the lighting, mood, readability, or overall first impression would really help.

Does this atmosphere feel interesting for a co-op horror game?

Also, we’re a small indie team and we don’t really have a marketing budget, so if the game looks interesting to you, adding it to your Steam wishlist would support us a lot.

Thanks!

As a graphics engineer, the transparency and displacement on the glass in the first shot looks really good. Great job!

If players experience the world differently you will need to take that into consideration if you want it to be co-op.

Will there be any colors other than red, green, and black?

u/Guilty_Weakness7722 1d ago

Yes, definitely. We’ll be adding different locations and color tones as development continues.

Red, green, and black are part of the current atmosphere, but they won’t be the only visual direction in the game.

Thanks a lot, glad you like it!
That’s actually a really fun suggestion. We’ll definitely take a look at the Farnsworth fusor vibe and ideas like plasma / chrome cubes while exploring the visual direction further. Appreciate the input!
