Description

Can you do horror effectively in adventure games? We invited Dave Lloyd, writer and designer of the critically acclaimed game The Drifter, to discuss horror tropes and mechanics, and how they translate into the leisurely pace expected of adventure game players.

Warning: Contains spoilers for The Drifter (as well as The Excavation of Hob's Barrow).
