Strategically sowing the stylish seeds of terror in The Fabulous Fear Machine
AMC Games continues its quest to spotlight offbeat ideas with this narrativefocused strategy game about cultivating a crop of urban legends to spread fear across the world. Developer Fictiorama Studios has twinned that intriguing premise with a distinctive aesthetic – initially exploring styles that drew from German Expressionist art before settling on classic pulp comics, such as Eerie and Creepy. “Their covers had compositions and palettes that were easy to pick out from a crowded shelf, and the writers knew how to enthrall readers with dark scenes that lingered in the mind,” art director Rubén Calles tells us.
