Last week, a new indie video game publisher launched in Los Angeles: Blumhouse Games, a division of the horror film production company co-founded by director Jason Blum in 2000. Specializing in horror, the company revealed six experimental horror games during a livestreamed Summer Game Fest showcase. The first game, Fear the Spotlight, is set to release later this year.
Blum described the game label as “returning to our roots with a focus on indie horror, pushing boundaries, and elevating new original stories.” The lineup includes Project C, Grave Seasons, and Fear the Spotlight, each offering unique and interesting gameplay experiences.
President Zach Wood highlighted a conservative business model focused on sustainable success for development partners. The close collaboration between film and TV studios with video game developers has inspired Blumhouse Games to create unique and innovative horror experiences.
Blumhouse Games aims to deliver a fresh take on horror, exploring unique and captivating narratives. The diverse lineup of games promises thrilling and eerie experiences for players.
Blaine and Wood emphasize that the essence of a good horror game lies in delving into the unknown and tapping into universal fears, taking players on an empathetic journey through the human experience.
