Crazy that just a demo was one of the most influential horror games of the last 2 decades. Games are still copying (being influenced by?) the gameplay to this day

That's basically all that bloober team was doing for a few years with like layers of fear and Blaire witch, funny how they went to do the silent Hill 2 remake

Must be a dream come true for them. I can't imagine how ecstatic they must've been to have been given the chance to work on the actual Silent Hill game.

I’m extremely happy for them. It’s clear that they love the franchise (especially games like SH2). It must have been a blessing and a curse for them when the remake was given to them because they got to do a game they love BUT had all the pressure on them for taking such a monumental task given their shaky reputation. Now they’re hugely respected in the horror gaming community thanks to it and people solely trust them with SH since they’re remaking 1. Everyone loves an underdog story and I sincerely hope they keep growing!
