Meanwhile, more details have been revealed about the five-part docuseries, including the topics for each episode. All of this can be found on the documentary’s official site.
The episodes are as follows:
Episode 1 – Enter The Survival Horror: We explore the survival horror genre, examining the early titles like 3D Monster Maze and Project Firestart, its explosive popularity in the 90s – where titles like Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil, and Silent Hill captured the imagination of the masses – and its legacy and enduring popularity today.
Episode 2 – Lethal Licences: We explore the good, the bad, and the ugly, including early Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre games, bizarre obscurities like Ringu: Infinity, and successes like the brilliant Alien: Isolation, as well as the growing popularity of licensed characters in games like Dead by Daylight.
Episode 3 – Narrative Nightmares: From the surreal and unique to the kitsch and campy, we celebrate and explore cinematic horror games and the now-obscure world of full motion video horror games, exploring “so-bad-it’s-good” games like Night Trap, Sierra Online classics like Phantasmagoria, and the unusual use of CG tech in titles like D, among many others.
Episode 4 – The Indie Revolution: We shine a light on indie development in horror gaming, from breakout hits like Five Nights at Freddy’s and Amnesia to the many unique and one-of-a-kind experiences like Yume Nikki, Papa Sangre, and FAITH: The Unholy Trinity.
Episode 5 – Cursed and Controversial: We dive down the rabbit hole of controversy and explore the games – like Doom, Manhunt, and Saw – that people wanted banned. Along the way, we’ll also take a look at the unusual world of “cursed” games, including urban legends like Polybius, Petscop, and Crow 64.
TerrorBytes is expected to be completed and released in March 2025.
