A New Trailer Shows Becrowned’s Changing Direction
Early looks at Becrowned invited comparisons to familiar psychological horror games. According to the team, it has since evolved to draw on the atmosphere of 1970s and 1980s grindhouse films and the dark satirical humor of 1970s French horror.
Russian cultural and literary references also inform the game, reflecting its director’s perspective.
