It’s this alternating globe in Hexworks’ brand-new game that’s influenced by planetary scary, as well as it’s something that Virtosu as well as Gascon were “talking relentlessly about” when developing the brand-new game.

“We took a lot of reference from horror,” stated Gascon. “[Stuff like] Lovecraft and Olivier de Sagazan. We love it. We’re all fans of cosmic horror,” included Virtosu.
