There are those who like to find games that make them have a really bad time and they love the horror genre. One of the best sagas within this group is Amnesiawhose titles always make living a most terrifying experience, although Frictional Games considers that it is time to put a full stop.
In an interview with 80.lvthe creative director and co-founder of the company, Thomas Grip, has stated that the team is assessing the possibility that terror is not what predominates in their next projects. To this end, a first-person perspective will continue to be used, with the difference that now the option of tell different kinds of stories
And it is that the study would love to show other emotional qualities that are not based on those produced by terror, but always without losing the essence of the Frictional games.
For future projects, I think we’re going to reduce the horror aspects to focus more on other emotional qualities. I trust that these games will feel like one of Frictional. Immersion, personal journey and a holistic view are what I see as defining traits of a Frictional game and not just horror as such.
In addition to the Amnesia saga, whose most recent chapter was released last June under the name of Amnesia: The Bunker, it has also developed several titles in the series. Penumbra
I’m not sure I ever thought of Frictional Games as an indie studio. They don’t see us competing at a lower level with other independent teams.
While we may not have the biggest cutscene budget, in terms of immersive experience we rival every game on the market.
We want to be the ones that provide the best experience in whatever genre we choose to work with, even if it’s packed with AAA studio games.
Of course, Thomas Grip is totally convinced that the next Frictional Games project, whatever the genre, will make us live an experience that leaves its mark. Time will tell if the play goes well by betting on a different genre of terror.
