The Designer of Phasmophobia's monsters launching his own game inspired by Lovecraft
Today, we're delving into the background of Ares Dragonis, the creative force behind The Shore and the newly established Dragonis Games. The Shore, released in 2020, quickly became a hit due to its distinctive art style and numerous nods to the works of renowned author H.P Lovecraft. The game's success wasn't limited to Lovecraft fans but also appealed to those who enjoy narrative-driven puzzle games.
Prior to becoming an independent game developer, Ares worked as a freelancer and created art for various clients around the world, including several prominent game development studios. He has also achieved acclaim in the gaming industry by participating in Blizzcon and winning first place as a 3D character artist. A quick glance at Ares' Artstation profile reveals an impressive portfolio of high-quality work for his games and other projects.
Dragonis Games has already developed and released two video games and is currently working on Eresys, their latest project. In comparison to the first two games, Eresys is a cooperative horror game designed for up to four players and heavily inspired by Lovecraft's works. The developer has stated that each game they create will add new elements to the overarching storyline, connecting them all together.
Eresys challenges players to work together to overcome terrifying creatures while utilizing occult knowledge to survive. The game takes place on a mysterious island, where players must uncover hidden secrets and face unexpected challenges. The game's unique AI and variety of enemies ensure that players will remain on their toes throughout the experience. Can you and your team survive the horrors of Lovecraft's universe?
