Gregory Horror Show (Patreon)

Welcome to Gregory House...hope you enjoy your stay!  

Based off the anime series Gregory Horror show, this survival horror cult classic sees you try and escape Gregory’s Hotel! How? By collecting guest's souls! Collect them all and you might just make it out alive! 

To no one's surprise the top dog of survival horror, Capcom, had a hand in this and I have to wonder who exactly approached who in the development/creation of this game.
One would perhaps wager if the creators of the anime wanted to make a video game, and make it a survival horror they'd have gone straight to the source itself with Capcom. On the flipside maybe someone at Capcom saw the anime and really thought it would be a good fit for the company? I suppose we'll never really know! 

What drew me to the game was its wonderfully unique art-style. Quite reminiscent of papercraft/folding box models you see online or sometimes included on the back of cereal boxes or such. Another is that I feel it shares some DNA with The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask in some aspects. Solving puzzles through learning more about characters, their routines at different times of the day and night, seeing what interactions you can do with them with different items and a general dark/morbid town in an otherwise cartoonyish world? I think that might be it ;D. 

Overall I really enjoyed this demake, it was an interesting challenge due to converting the box models into pixel art but it was surprisingly easier that I thought it would be (hopefully not becoming complacent!). On the other side, I did find myself challenging myself to really try and practice lighting/shading and I think I've improved somewhat. Will be fun to use this knowledge in future demakes/remakes and more!
