Hi everyone, welcome to the We Exist Game Development Blog.
We Exist is a detective, mystery, thriller game with elements of horror. Follow Jack Norwood as he searches for his friend Scott who mysteriously disappeared the day after they both witness a horrific incident at their workplace. Reports of missing townsfolk being to rise around the time of Scott's disappearance. As Jack delves deeper into the mysteries of the island, he stumbles upon a series of unsettling truth about the home he once knew. Home will never feel the same again.
Here are some early development concepts for We Exist:
The early stages of the concept had a truly terrifying vision for the game where we summoned the spirit of games like
Silent Hill, Lovecraftian stories, and artwork by Simon Stalenhag. We have since removed the supernatural elements but left behind the psychological horrors to create a thriller instead. Nevertheless, some of the concepts are still pretty creepy.
