Callisto Protocol Captures extreme horror and thrilling fun

– Trailer dubbed in Korean Protocol Callisto

For influencers, ‘horror games’ are special. Influencers make money by performing roulettes with multiple content or performing missions designated by viewers. At this time, the horror game play is included in the lowest probability of roulette.

Horror games have high play barriers, so not many users enjoy them. However, the sense of immersion that quickly rises with the unique tension that comes from horror games creates a strong fanatic.

This is because it is an emotion that is rarely experienced in real life. In everyday life, we don’t usually find ourselves in situations where we have to hide from an emergency or run away from danger. The emotion of fear that cannot be easily faced naturally leads to immersion. When you overcome your fear, you feel a sense of accomplishment and relief. This is a unique fun factor that can only be felt in horror games.

Personal broadcasting on the internet is characterized by providing an experience of enjoying with the influencer rather than just watching them. The features of personal broadcasting and horror games synergize with each other, making it easy to immerse yourself in indirect play.

When influencer reactions are added to this, the fun is doubled. You may be surprised with influencers, but seeing them scream and cower in fear causes laughter, so you can feel a range of emotions.

Influencers who are not good at horror games are more popular. Representatively, ‘Knee’ and ‘Medal of Honour’ were chosen as horror game restaurants because of their dynamic response when playing horror games as punishments. The middle-aged gamer, Director Kim, broadcasting PD was also caught in a sense of fear while playing the representative work of Red Candle Games ‘Welcome’, and gave pleasure with strange movement and screaming, so requests for an encore poured in.

Although horror gameplay has taken place in the personal broadcasting trend, Krafton’s new horror game ‘Calisto Protocol’ caught the attention of viewers recently. Callisto Protocol, which is being developed by Striking Distance Studios, an independent studio from Krafton, will be released worldwide simultaneously on consoles and PCs such as PlayStation, XBOX, PC Steam, and Epic Games Store on December 2nd.

The general atmosphere is very similar to the spiritual successor ‘Dead Space’. The unique solder point of view, the part where the UI melts naturally into the game, and the brutal directing will become so familiar to fans who enjoyed Dead Space.

The universe revolves around the protagonist, Jacob Lee, escaping from the Black Iron Prison on Jupiter’s moon Callisto. In a mining colony established in Callisto 100 years ago, the main character, Jacob Lee, wanders through a bloody space with the prisoner ‘Dani’.

If you look at the trailer, the phrase ‘shoot the tentacles’ written in blood written on the wall creates an eerie atmosphere. As a game rated for teenage use, blood-spitting gore monsters also appeared in the video, maximizing the sense of dread.

In particular, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the shapes of the monsters that threaten the protagonist are similar to humans. CEO Glenn Scofield, who oversaw game development, is a person with a philosophy of ‘man in strange form’ that evokes the most fearful emotions in people. If you look at the monsters in Callisto’s Protocol, you can see that according to his philosophy, they have a human appearance but have a higher intelligence than other monsters.

In this regard, CEO Scofield explained, “It’s hard to create concrete horror with monsters like giant spiders and gnomes that seem to come out of a fantasy world. Human-like monsters seem to have intelligence and provides the feeling that they are likely to harm intentionally.” he did

Gamers who watched the trailer also said, “I think it’s really scary,” “I can’t”, “I was surprised when I looked at the video”, “It feels like death space, so it goes to be fun”, “I’m looking forward to how the story goes”, “Graphics Because it’s good, the horror comes to life”, “Do you make games like this in Korea? ”, “You can’t buy a horror, third-person, Korean dubbing game.”

Thanks to this, influencer fans poured in requests to treat Callisto Protocol as horror game content when it was released on December 2nd. Even with the release of AAA level console games that are not easily available in Korea, there were also many influencers who declared that they would enjoy it voluntarily.

Accordingly, it is expected that not only general game streamers such as Pungwolryang, Seo Saebom, Sonny Show, Woowak Good, and Daelibrary, but also famous game influencers such as Romaner, Seorim Park, Medal of Honor, and Dongsuk Han, will enjoy the Callisto Protocol.

Regarding this, CEO Scofield said, “Thank you very much for your interest in Callisto Protocol. I am also grateful that I was able to make such a game with Krafton. I tried to make a game that is really immersive. You can come found her. I put it as a tribute to Krafton, but I hope the Korean fans will think of it as a bit of fun.”
