In this game, we will meet Brian as he begins the first day of his job at a large corporation that has fallen under the curse of a witch.

"Yuppie Psycho" has a retro aesthetic from the golden age of the 90’s, featuring anime-inspired cutscenes to immerse the player in an atypical horror story. Containing an atmosphere of mystery and surrealism similar to those previously devised by infamous artists such as David Lynch, David Cronenberg, J.G. Ballard, and Shinya Tsukamoto or seen in cult films like "American Psycho" and "Brazil." The sordid imagery of mangaka such as Shintaro Kago and Junji Ito was also a huge inspiration upon our artistic design.

Loosely following the same basic gameplay template from a variety of classic 16-bit RPGs, "Yuppie Psycho" unites a myriad of different genres, including Survival Horror, Graphic Adventure, and Puzzle-solving. The overall game design also takes notes from such titles as "Silent Hill," "Deadly Premonition," and the recent "Yomawari: Night Alone."

Set in a dystopian 90’s with shades of cyberpunk, the player will have to break into and investigate the secrets hidden deep within the heart of Sintracorp. Avoiding traps, solving puzzles, exploring, and utilizing stealth to avoid the creatures swarming the company along the way.


From the developer of The Count Lucanor
Ever wondered what Legend of Zelda would be like as a horror game set in a medieval era? Well here it is! Solve puzzles, survive monstrosities, and try to guess the name of a strange entity who riddles you you meet the king in a twisted castle to help your family! Some interesting mechanics, good puzzles & pace, and varies itself up nicely.

Love Twin Peaks, Silent Hill, Deadly Premonition and Alan Wake. Will, most certainly, keep an eye out for it.
 
That looks fantastically weird. Kind of getting a slight Shaun of the Dead vibe from the juxtaposition of inane and insane there too.

Would be great on Vita or Switch so I could play it in bed at night. Getting creeped out in a cozy warm bed is always the best way to experience horror games, especially in winter.

I was going to say this looks a LOT like The Count Lucanor (which was a wonderful little indie Zelda/Horror hybrid), but see this is made by the same developers so that makes sense. Looking forward to it!
