'Rot' by Michael Bonardi (Itch.io)
5Rot is a short psychological horror story about obsession, rejection and self-hatred. It was developed as an experiment, to answer the question: 'can you make dread a place?'. It is inspired by titles such as P.T. and indie developer Kittyhorrorshow's game Anatomy. It also draws inspiration from Davey Wreden's The Beginner's Guide. The retro, low-res aesthetic of the game is inspired by the work of Finnish indie developer 98DEMAKE, who was kind enough to get in touch during development.
Assets and audio by Michael Bonardi.
Voice acting by Esmé Varley.
