Murrow
Built upon the writings and genre of Cosmic Horror established in literary history by the work of H.P Lovecraft, Murrow is an isometric detective computer role-playing videogame that explores themes of grief, trauma, existential depression and despair. The theming of the game was chosen as it allows a deep nuanced exploration of the concept of existential suffering through a lens of horror fiction, as well as the fact that role-playing games allow for a deeper immersion and connection with the world and characters.
