Pneumata is a true Lovecraftian survival horror with disturbing and brutal gameplay, enveloped by the psychological horrors that exist somewhere between reality and the beyond. With a fractured mind you must: Investigate, explore, and fight for your life as you lose yourself trying to survive the unimaginable horrors within the walls of Clover Hill. Find items, weapons, and clues that will help you uncover the sinister truth behind it all as the only way forward is to delve deeper.
Midnight Forge joined the games production towards the backend of the development, they were working on the demo at the time. For the time spent working with Deadbolt Interactive the work comprised of active development, gameplay consulting and support around the demo and the associated tasks as well as feedback and iteration sessions to ensure the client was happy with the work received.
We worked with Deadbolt Interactive in Q3 of 2023 as they were working on their demo. During that time we helped them fix several gameplay issues they were experiencing and created a new exciting type of enemy behaviour that will enhance the fear factor when playing!
