Forbidden Solitaire Devs Cite 1997 Wishmaster as Key Inspiration
The collaboration between a veteran solitaire developer and the studio behind 'Home Safety Hotline' produces a genre blend that could attract both casual puzzle and horror audiences.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
'Forbidden Solitaire', a solitaire puzzle horror game released on PC on May 1, was developed by Grey Alien Games and Night Signal Entertainment. In a recent interview, the developers cited the 1997 film 'Wes Craven's Wishmaster' as a main inspiration. The game frames its horror scenario around a cursed 1995 CD-ROM, with 90s-style graphics and live-action footage.
The game is available on PC for 2,050 yen and currently does not support Japanese. Grey Alien Games, a husband-and-wife team based in Dorset, UK, has been making indie games for 20 years and recently added their son Callum as a programmer and designer. Night Signal Entertainment, based in Utah, is the team behind the horror game 'Home Safety Hotline'. The developers described the game as an unprecedented fusion of card battles and horror elements, set in a dungeon depicted with 90s-style graphics and framed as a game discovered on a discarded CD-ROM.
