Frictional Games

Frictional Games: masters of interactive psychological horror, but also astute publishers shaping the landscape of indie horror. Known for crafting games that emphasize atmosphere, sound, and a deep sense of vulnerability, Frictional extends their influence beyond their own development. While famed for titles like Amnesia and SOMA, their role as a publisher champions innovative horror experiences from other studios, nurturing the next wave of survival horror and psychological thriller games. They actively seek projects pushing boundaries, often those embracing the 'body horror' subgenre or exploring themes of existential dread, elements resonating with fans familiar with Frictional's signature style. Frictional Games curates experiences focused on narrative depth and environmental storytelling over cheap jump scares. The company's publishing choices reflect commitment to games that challenge players intellectually and emotionally, solidifying their position as key players in the indie horror game scene.
