Frictional Games

Frictional Games is a name synonymous with a particular breed of dread, a developer that has truly mastered the art of psychological horror. They aren't about cheap jump scares; instead, they're focused on creating a deep sense of unease, making you question your sanity as you navigate their frightening worlds. Frictional's games shine due to thought-provoking narratives, exploring complex and unsettling themes that stick with you long after the credits roll. The studio expertly crafts immersive experiences, combining stunning visuals, terrifying sound design, and gameplay mechanics centered around vulnerability.

Their Penumbra series first put them on the map, showcasing their innovative physics-based puzzles and the disturbing atmosphere they are so adept at creating. However, Amnesia: The Dark Descent was the game that really put them over the top. The game's sanity mechanics and emphasis on feeling powerless changed the landscape of horror gaming. Frictional Games continued to push the envelope with SOMA, a sci-fi horror masterpiece that explores themes of identity, consciousness, and what it truly means to be human.
