Station Managers,
Ever wonder how a game developer creates that perfect moment of terror and suspense? Lead Gameplay Designer Mike Carmody reveals the entire journey of crafting our first boss encounter - the Anomaly.
Learn how early builds completely failed to grab player attention, and what we did to fix it: hand-crafted cinematic sequences, lightning systems that guide your gaze, dramatic system failures, and carefully orchestrated buildup that strips away your sense of control piece by piece.
⚠️ Warning: This post contains spoilers for the demo's first boss encounter!
