Hello everyone!
With the release of the game next week, we feel it’s time that we started revealing a few things behind the development of The Obscura Experiment. For example, we only got an official name for our game in the middle of production!
Finding an original name for a game is never easy. When we first thought about it, we wanted the title to be the name of our monster: Dark Matter. Turns out that there already was a bunch of games using the exact name as their own title! We concluded on The Obscura Experiment after a week of research, debate and voting!
Here’s a small list of names that were scratched for various reasons:
• The Dark Matter Project
• Astrophobia
• It Came From Beyond
• Station Alpha
• Project Cimmerian
• Dark Entropy
The discussions would go on for so long that we would get really tired and would propose very ridiculous names like:
• Avoid
• Nothingness
• Unsolved Problems
• Weird Stuff
• The Dark Spinner
• Invisible Darkness
At the end of the day, our team agreed on The Obscura Experiment as we felt it gave the right connotation of sci-Fi and horror. It’s a name that we grew fond of while we developed the rest of our game.
Stay tuned for more announcement in the next coming days!
