Overview
About this game
Story
A Fatberg is a hardened lump of waste matter that accumulates throughout sewer systems and can block entire sections of sewers, causing a most unpleasant chaos.
You are a lowly janitor who has been forced to do the dangerous job of breaking apart fatbergs in the sewers just before a rain storm. Unfortunately there are unspeakable things living deep down in those sewers who do not like to be disturbed, and they won't let such easy prey leave their underworld alive.
Classical Horror
The fear of the dark and the fear of the unknown play a big part in creating a strong unsettling atmosphere in Fatberg. As players explore the sewers looking for fatbergs they won't know what they will find around every dark and slimy corner.
Visuals
Once again we have chosen the PS1 visual style for our horror game. It's unsettling crudeness combines well with the subject matter of the game. It allows older gamers to tune into memories of horror games from the past, and newer gamers can experience a more primitive form of fear and horror for the first time.
Casual Elements
We are not trying to recreate the fast paced first-person-shooter games of the past. Fatberg takes it's time with the player and builds a healthy sense of impending doom before all hell breaks loose.
Locations
Sewers are one of the archetypal locations of all video games. Fatberg takes place almost entirely within the sewers. However every location within the game has a different visual language for describing what a sewer is, and hopefully we will be pleasing those who want archetypes and those who want something newer.
