“The abandoned St. Hugo hospital where lately the dead have been becoming sick”

“An old lady sold me a game that used to belong to her late “roommate”’s deceased grandson and there's a ghost there or something…”


I had had the idea of a horror game themed piece for a while now, I had tried some stuff but had left it just as wips. But I recently saw Super eyepatch wolf’s video on “fake videogames” and now I'm sold on the concept and decided I had to actually finish this piece.


My first instinct for making this was to learn 3d modeling. “Surely” I thought to myself “Even I can create crude looking low poly models to emulate the aesthetic of an old game”. And then I thought about it for a couple of seconds more and realized that, even while learning 3d modeling is at the top of my bucket list, it would be too much work just for one art piece I had in mind. And I'm both too busy and too lazy for that. So I went with plan B.


And after like an hour experimenting with pixel art I realized that it wasn't the right medium for what I had in mind.


And then I came up with plan C. Lying! I can make fake low poly looking graphics. I actually came up with the method I used in the end while working with pixel art. 


I'm sure there are already existing and better methods to fake low poly graphics but I didn't really investigate. I just went for it.


The canon story for this piece implies an abandoned hospital that has been taken by some mysterious collective that is bringing the dead to life, but not whole. Just like a zombie game but these guys are “deader” than that. Shooting them won't do. But the important part here, I feel, is the aforementioned mysterious collective. Who could they be? What do they know? What does Nicole knows?


And would you look at that! Some forgotten files. From here we can already notice these have been censored heavily. Something something [redacted] gate. Was it star, or heaven? Anyway, I'm sure Ian will be able to extract some information from them when you take them to him at the safe point. But will she be able to do so? I can sense danger is near. Oh man! Maybe you should have selected to play with Ignacio. He can use less weapons but runs faster.


I'm sure Nicole will be fine.


And yes, Vero’s route is probably the “Genocide” one. All the weapons but less gameplay options and the sanity meter is always on red numbers.
