When it comes to cult horror game developers, Puppet Combo‘s name stands out from the rest. The developer of Murder House, Nun Massacre, Babysitter Bloodbath, and many more, seems on the brink of industry-wide recognition if it’d just get one big push. Puppet Combo may think so too, as it recently posted a message on Twitter teasing what could be its biggest project yet. Puppet Combo has confirmed that it’s making an “actual survival horror game.”
To show fans exactly what it meant, Puppet Combo shared a short teaser of the survival horror game it’s working on. The clip features a plague doctor protagonist with a rifle stuck in a small room with a tall humanoid monster seemingly covered in a burlap sack. The monster chases them endlessly, attacking them when it gets in melee range, as the player tries to gain enough distance to push a wood cabinet out of the way to reveal a way out.
The gameplay is notable in that it’s third-person, but with predetermined camera angles as the player moves. These fixed camera angles were commonplace in early third-person horror games like Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark to give games a sense of claustrophobia and to disorient the player. Puppet Combo’s experimented with this before with Babysitter Bloodbath, Murder House, and others.
What Puppet Combo likely means by “actual horror game” is something with a larger scope than their previous projects. The nods to Resident Evil are self-evident, though a Resident Evil-sized game would obviously be a huge amount of work. Needless to say, it’s going to be interesting to see what Puppet Combo‘s project turns into.
