Anatomy

Wenn ich schlafen gehe, lasse ich meinen Rolladen immer einen kleinen Spalt offen, damit etwas Licht von draußen in mein Zimmer dringt. Ehrlich gesagt kann ich schlecht einschlafen, wenn es um mich herum völlig Dunkel ist. Irgendwie fühlt sich dann alles so drückend und laut an. Wenn es dunkel ist, kann um mich herum alles mögliche existieren und ich würde es niemals sehen und erfahren.

Anatomy von Kitty Horrorshow ist diese drückende Dunkelheit. Wir erkunden das innere eines Hauses, dass obwohl es leer steht, lebendig zu sein scheint. Die Wände stehen still und doch scheinen sie sich vielleicht bewegt zu haben.

Der Raum selbst wird in diesem Spiel zu einem Organismus und wir winden uns durch sein innerstes in der Hoffnung, nicht als Fremdobjekt erkannt zu werden.

P.S.: Geht sicher, dass ihr das Spiel mehrmals spielt.

Meet the secret new horror mistress of video games

The delicate, literary works of Kitty Horrorshow are some of my favorite discoveries of 2015.

These are the delicate, expressive horror games of Kitty Horrorshow, whose works have become some of my favorite discoveries of 2015. Most people acquainted with games have specific ideas of what horror looks like—zombie crawls with scarce ammo, visually-dark psychological explorations punctuated by jump scares, or intentionally-clumsy relics dredged from the Japanese console age. Horrorshow's works—most of which can be completed in less than half an hour—feel delicate and literary by comparison. The fact technical sophistication isn't a primary focus makes the spaces she creates feel like abstract art—like the iconic monolith of 2001: A Space Odyssey, forbidding in its plainness.

CHYRZA is a slow meditation among blood-colored obelisks that builds dread toward a striking conclusion, and in Hornets Horrorshow draws incredible imagery with her words. We didn't review the striking Rain, House, Eternity at Offworld, but Kill Screen's Chris Priestman does an excellent job of describing how the restrained, atmospheric game provides a sort of subtle emotional processing, and how it represents an evolution on her earlier portfolio.
