Searching for help, he heads to a mansion which exudes horror and chill. From the very beginning, we want to show the player that they have no choice other than going to that house. Neither the player nor the protagonist of the game are aware of what they are doing here and what they should expect. The mansion itself, where the story takes place, becomes a principal character in the game. The house is built in a nineteenth-century European style. The realities and the way of life of the time are painstakingly reproduced, yet they are in a state of desolation and decline. Collapsed ceilings, ragged curtains, creaking floors - all of this serves to build a dismal atmosphere in which the p…

That’s why we choose to work with the German musician and artist BastiBasti, voice of the Metalcore band Callejon. He created the Silver Chains visual with his own unique and great art style, combinig the elements of the game. Doing this in a way that is unusual for horror in general: in bright colors. Why? Just keep reading. Your preference for dark designs, your style and Silver Chains hit the nail on the head. What inspired you for this visual? "Thanks, I think so too! Basically, I was mostly inspired by the games characters. "Mother" did the most to me - she is the most *beep* and therefore the most *beep* character of the plot and ther…

From an early age, our team members were interested in the output of the gaming industry and always dreamed of becoming a part of it. Having reached adulthood, we made our dream come true and started working in a mobile game development company. We worked with joy and dedication, yet the desire to make something on our own did not abandon us. Using the experience we gained and having joined together as a team, we struck out on our own and began developing our own project—one that eventually became Silver Chains. Our game development company is named Cracked Heads, as we are not afraid of risks and are willing to smash our heads to achi…
