The Callisto Protocol reveals itself a little more
In an article, recently published on the PlayStation Blog, the development team of The Callisto Protocol actually provided some details about some elements of the game. Remember that the software invites us to discover the Black Iron prison, located on the dead moon of Jupiter, Callisto. Beneath this prison, we will explore “Below”an area consisting of long abandoned tunnels “. The basic concept, for the developers, was to make this place a place dark, damp and sinister “.
On this subject, Aasim Zubair, “Director of environment art” said: “ […] Below allows the player to feel anchored in something familiar and that speaks to them while allowing them to learn more about the past, especially about the first attempt of Humanity to colonize the dead moon […] “. A video on said site gives an overview of “Below” and as much to say that the place is quite scary.
In addition, the developers returned to creation of enemies present on The Callisto Protocol. According to their words, the goal was to fashion scary creatures with a certain humanoid appearance in order to reinforce the feeling of fear in the players. The game’s “Character Director”, Gaucho Longli explains:
We started with the idea of humans being infected so that the fear aroused came from the fact that what happened to them can also happen to you […] But it’s not just about humanoid forms, biophages have postures based on typical human emotions resembling pain, fear and fury […]
As a reminder, The Callisto Protocol arrives on December 2, 2022 on PlayStation, Xbox and PC consoles, in several editions.
