The indie game scene has exploded over the past few years thanks to the XBLA, PSN, and Steam. What’s so awesome about this movement is the fact that more developers get to make the games they want to make, which helps to break up the industry trend of yearly triple-A sequel releases that the larger developers have fallen into.
Ice-Pick Lodge just so happens to be one of the indie developers trying to make a splash in the market, and its latest game is proof enough that smaller developers have the creative freedom to make any game they choose. The game is called Knock-Knock, and quite frankly it doesn’t fit into an existing genre of game. Even the official press release described the genre as “???????.” Risks like this usually pay off in spades, or fail harder than even the most epic of fails.
Head on down past the break to check out the new teaser, artwork, and screenshots.
EB: The Quiet Man comes out Thursday, and it both sounds and looks like a game worth acknowledgment, but that's...just about it. Now, ports? There are some damn good ports coming out this week.
Knock Knock, a developer of chat-native games and technologies, announced today that it raised a $2 million funding round led by Raine Ventures with participation from games specialists London Venture Partners, Ludlow Ventures, and Gregory Milken.
Knock Knock allows you to join a mysterious story filled with horrifying sounds and a creepy environment. While the game has a cute design with very well-made graphics, players can easily find disturbing elements as they continue playing.
Wow! Looks Great!
