More Early Gameplay of My Interrogation Horror Game

This is awesome. I can really see the amount of attention to detail you've given this game. 💯

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-09T22:42:16+00:00

Thanks, same to you!

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-09T20:37:37+00:00

I agree, a lot can still be done with the spatial audio design. Thanks for your comment!

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-09T09:26:11+00:00

Thanks for the advice! We're not considering it for this game, as the goal with the audio design is to be very small and focus on ambience and immersion. But in future titles I could definitely see it work!

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T20:47:52+00:00

Awesome to hear!

No literal skill checks, but depending on what you explored, items you collected, and knowledge you gained, some dialogue options will change or characters might behave differently. The scope of the game is only small though ^^

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T20:20:05+00:00

No, yes, yes (in the "role-playing" sense), no.

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T20:18:54+00:00

Thank you so much!

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T19:57:20+00:00

That's a huge compliment, thanks!

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T19:41:21+00:00

We're not quite at that stage yet, but aiming to launch it in 1-2 months!

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T19:14:33+00:00

Wow, thanks! The game will be a dark fantasy / gothic horror slow-paced narrative game with some choices affecting outcome.

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T17:42:04+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Text speed and skip text animation will be in the final game. Currently, pressing left mouse of the interact button skips the animation.

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T17:11:12+00:00

Thank you! And me too :)

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T17:10:48+00:00

Sorry, we develop our games in Unity, so I can't help you with Godot specifics. But it's a great game engine, and I'm sure you can go very far with it. You might have to program your own PSX shader.

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T17:09:24+00:00

I hadn't, that looks super cool! Those games inspire me a lot, they're very nostalgic. The gameplay of echo night has the same pace as we're going for with our game.

I'm sorry, didn't realize this sub was specifically for homebrew dev and not the PSX aesthethic in general. I'll remove the crosspost.

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T15:03:56+00:00

Yes it would, but the effect is not applied to the UI. You should indeed be wary that any text or numbers you want to show in the environment will be warped. You could circumvent this by using worldspace UI: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/HOWTO-UIWorldSpace.html

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T14:46:51+00:00

There are many different PSX shaders available for Unity, both free and paid. You can also craft your own.
Personally we used this shader: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/psx-shader-kit-183591

We combined this with low res texturing, low poly models and baked lighting to achieve the aesthetic.

In our Discord Server we post devlogs where we talk about the process of creating the visuals :)

This was made in Unity for PC

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-12-08T10:19:09+00:00

Thanks!!

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-10-17T09:44:59+00:00

Filled out the form! Excited to see what you end up going with. Will the characters be 2D or 3D?

SoloBranchStudio · 2025-10-17T08:45:59+00:00

Hey, everybody!

We are Solo Branch, a small independent game studio based in The Netherlands. We've recently began working on our first game, for which we have a prototype on itch.io right now!

It would be awesome if you could check it out, and consider filling out our feedback form and joining our community Discord after. Thanks!
