The 3rd developers diary for Deadlight goes over the art style and atmosphere as well as the attitudes of the creators.
“The cover has no explosions or big breasts” – Raul Rubio CEO & Creative Director
The developers want to take the 80’s atmosphere and make it raw and dirty. They want the game to be about survival horror and not about anything else flashy. Even the logo was made with atmosphere in mind. A psychological image on the old western style paper leads to information about the characters state of mind.
Creepy Right?
