Hi, we’re horror movie nerds, so we sneak references into our game.

Ahh yes… fine cinema !

Growing up, Nate and I would go to our local video store, and look at the bank of horror movies and over time, we pretty much watched all of the VHS offerings our little town had to offer. The good, the bad, and everything in between. 

80’s horror was a big influence on the style of our game. The soundtrack in REZ PLZ is inspired by Jon Carpenter, Goblin, and all the other synth-y weird goodness to come out of the genre.

Another staple of the horror genre is violent and interesting death scenes. Our game is all about interesting ways to die, so we definitely tried to channel our inner Tom Savini when designing the morbid death animations in the game. One of the more obvious nods is inspired by this scene in the classic Scanners: 

And our version in the game: 

That’s all for now! There’s lots more little nods in REZ PLZ! Some of which we’ll be revealing over the next couple weeks, the rest you’ll have to discover for yourself when the game comes out! 

TTFN,
