Remedy staff recently unveiled their inspirations for the game:
- NATHALIE JANKIE: “I’ve been inspired by Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Visage, and Alien: Isolation.”
- MARKO MUIKKU: “Silent Hill was definitely one of our inspirations when crafting the eerie atmosphere of the Dark Place and the slow-burning experience of Alan. Resident Evil was one of the principal influences when creating more action inclined journey of Saga.”
- JOHN CROSSLAND: “Yes! I love SH, I listened to a lot of Akira Yamaoka whilst working on many of the characters, I’m also a fan of Takayoshi Sato. He’s a big inspiration.”
