Former DreadXP and Critical Reflex alum Ted Hentschke has teamed up with Jakub Bałuszek-Sobolewski to form Black Lantern Collective, a new publisher dedicated to horror games.
Described as an “all-new indie publisher leveraging the passion and expertise for established horror savants to bring a curated collection of chills, thrills, and unease to the freaky masses”, Black Lantern hit the ground running with ten game announcements, but kicks off its release schedule with Captum Mortum, an atmospheric psychological horror game coming in August.
“Caput Mortum is a short first-person horror experience inspired by retro 3D dungeon crawlers and survival horror games,” the team explains. “Delve into a tower of forgotten nightmares, where every step could be your last. Overcome horrors from beyond death and unlock the secrets of forbidden knowledge.”
