AsylumAgustinCordesInterview

Asylum is ‘a psychological horror adventure inspired by H. P. Lovecraft and set in a massive, decaying mental institute.’ Currently being developed by Senscape, the game was successfully crowd-funded via Kickstarter in late February 2013. Agustin Cordes, the man behind the cult horror adventure game Scratches (which sold over 250,000 copies), seems determined to make this an equally terrifying, albeit much more polished experience for fans of the genre.

By Marty Mulrooney

Jan Müller-Michaelis Interview

Jan Müller-Michaelis (also known as Poki) is the co-founder of Daedalic Entertainment and designed most of its games. He studied Mass Communication in Hamburg and developed the game Edna & Harvey: The Breakout as his diploma thesis (video games as a non linear narrative medium). The game was published when Daedalic Entertainment was founded in 2007. Since then he has helped to develop The Whispered World, A New Beginning, Harvey’s New Eyes and the Deponia series.
