Zero Brightness - A Podcast About Horror Video Games

We talk about SOMA - which spirals into a discussion of Anti-games, Existentialism, the Nation of Islam, violence, speculative fiction, euthanizing the last human alive, working at guitar stores, what it means to be alive, etc. Easy listening, you know.

We talk about "Hide Em Ups" a more recent sub-genre of Horror games that boomed a few years ago and has remained a part of the landscape. We also deep-dive into two of the best hiding-in-lockers-simulators, Alien Isolation and Outlast. We also talk a lot less about Heavy Metal, but probably the same amount about old Genesis games. We can't be stopped!

We're talking a handful of atmospheric Indies (Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Layers of Fear, September 1999 and Lost in Vivo) as well as thoughts on Art, walking simulators, Black Metal and internet racism. I swear it's more fun than that sounds!

In our inaugural episode, we talk about the Resident Evil 2 remake as well as the series' bizarre development history and general propensity for weirdness. Contains admissions of guilt re: piracy and playing old RPGs in fast-forward.
