OPENING SEQUENCE
COLD OPEN
EXT. IOWA HIGHWAY – NIGHT
Cornfields stretch endlessly beneath a bruised purple sky.
A rusty pickup barrels down a lonely road.
Inside:
Classic rock.
Beer cans.
Friends yelling over each other.
Ricky points at a battered roadside sign:
“GETAWAY LN – 2 MILES”
Below it:
Someone spray-painted:
“DON’T STAY AFTER DARK.”
They laugh.
Lightning flashes.
For half a second—
Something impossibly tall stands in the cornfield.
Watching.
CUT TO BLACK.
TITLE CARD:
666 GETAWAY LN.

ACT ONE
ARRIVAL
The group reaches the cabin Friday evening.
Things feel normal:
• Fishing
• Drinking beer
• Grilling burgers
• Joking about being old
But subtle weirdness starts:
• Watches stop working
• A deer carcass hangs upside down in a tree
• The river water feels unusually warm
• Cell service vanishes at night
Nate discovers strange carvings under the dock:
spirals, antlers, and symbols burned into the wood.
That night:
They hear something walking outside.
Not footsteps.
Too heavy.

FIRST MAJOR HORROR SCENE
THE RIVER INCIDENT
Saturday morning.
The group goes fishing by the river to get phone signal.
Eli briefly gets one bar of service.
He tries calling home—
The phone instead plays distorted screaming.
Then:
Emergency broadcast static.
A violent tremor shakes the woods.
The river suddenly begins flowing backward.
Trees bend inward.
A glowing tear opens above the water like cracked glass in the sky.
Something crawls out.
Not human.
Too thin.
Too tall.
Skin stretched wrong.
The creature mimics Ricky’s voice:
“Guys… help me…”
Even though Ricky is standing beside them.
Then it attacks.

THE MONSTERS
SKIN WALKERS
Creatures that imitate voices and appearances imperfectly.
Horror Element
Psychological paranoia.
Nobody fully trusts each other.

WEREWOLVES
Not traditional wolves.
These are half-rotted deer/wolf hybrids with exposed ribs and glowing eyes.
Horror Element
Relentless nighttime attacks.

VAMPIRES
Pale, cave-dwelling humanoids emerging from abandoned mine tunnels beneath the woods.
Horror Element
Silent stalking and intelligence.

ZOMBIES
Not undead exactly.
These are people from different timelines whose bodies are decaying due to dimensional instability.
Horror Element
Body horror and tragedy.

THE “STATIC MEN”
Original creatures tied to the dimensional rip.
Humanoid silhouettes flickering like broken television signals.
They appear during electrical interference.
Horror Element
Cosmic dread.
When they speak:
multiple voices overlap.

ACT TWO
SUPPLIES RUNNING LOW
By Sunday morning:
Nobody can leave.
The dirt road loops back to the cabin every time they drive it.
Reality itself is broken.
Food inventory:
• Half loaf of bread
• 4 beers
• Beef jerky
• One propane tank
Water from the sink starts turning black at night.
They’re trapped.

MIDWEST ATMOSPHERE
The horror should feel specifically Midwestern:
• Cicadas suddenly going silent
• Grain silos looming in fog
• Rusted farm equipment
• Empty bait shops
• Distant tornado sirens
• Church radio broadcasts cutting through static
• Endless woods and cornfields

MIDPOINT TWIST
Eli discovers:
The cabin exists on top of an abandoned Cold War-era experimental facility.
In the 1970s:
Scientists attempted to create long-range communication technology using electromagnetic frequencies beneath the river.
Instead:
They weakened reality itself.
The cabin owner knowingly rents the property anyway.
People have disappeared there for decades.

BIG HORROR SET PIECE
THE HARVEST FIELD
The friends attempt reaching a nearby farmhouse for supplies.
At night.
Cornfields surround them.
The rows begin changing direction impossibly fast.
Voices whisper from inside the stalks.
Then dozens of glowing eyes appear.
The werewolves hunt them through the field while scarecrows begin moving on their own.
Ricky gets separated.
The others hear him screaming for help—
But Nate realizes:
the voice is repeating in a loop.
Like a recording.

CHARACTER CONFLICT
As fear rises:
• Dave wants escape
• Nate wants to destroy the rip
• Eli wants to study it
• Ricky just wants survival
The group fractures emotionally.
Old resentments surface:
• Failed marriages
• Financial problems
• Regret about aging
• Lost dreams
The monsters become metaphors for adulthood fears and emotional decay.

FINAL ACT
THE STORM
A massive supernatural storm forms over the woods.
Reality collapses:
• Different time periods overlap
• Dead people appear alive
• The cabin changes layout
• Radio broadcasts from the future play
The rip above the river expands into the sky.
Creatures pour through endlessly.
Eli discovers the only way to seal it:
overload the old underground generators beneath the cabin.
But someone must stay behind manually.

CLIMAX
Inside the underground facility:
sirens blare.
Lights flicker red.
The Static Men close in.
Dave and Nate hold off creatures while Eli rigs the generators.
Ricky—badly wounded—chooses to stay behind and trigger the overload.
His final line:
“Tell people Iowa ain’t boring.”
He detonates the system.
White light consumes everything.

ENDING
ONE WEEK LATER
Dave and Nate emerge near a highway miles away.
Exhausted.
Traumatized.
Nobody believes their story.
Authorities say:
there was never a cabin there.
But late that night—
Dave’s phone buzzes.
A voicemail arrives.
Static.
Then Ricky’s voice:
“Guys… help me…”
CUT TO BLACK.

POST-CREDITS SCENE
Deep in the woods:
A new wooden sign rises from the dirt.
It reads:
“NOW RENTING”
666 GETAWAY LN.
And beneath it—
multiple glowing eyes open in the darkness.

Working on the trailer for my hot air balloon horror game. How’s the vibe looking?

Altitude Zero is a horror game where, aboard your hot air balloon, you must deactivate stations to prevent everything from going to ruin. To do this, you will follow set paths winding through canyons, forced to battle the wind to keep a safe altitude and various creatures trying to damage your vessel, all while keeping a constant eye on your fuel.

Thalasophobia fans rejoice, all the Mazebound horrors are on land (but still terrifying)

For those of you who struggle with any body of water deeper than a bath, my wife and I have
been diligently working away at a survival horror extraction game and the last year+ of our
lives launches on the 13th. TL;DR you wake on a beach, no memory, no gear, and four
gates loom over you. Each one is an entrance into the maze, a challenging adventure best
played with friends, where you’ll need to harvest and extract materials to build a raft and
escape the island.

We’ve taken inspiration from our favourites in the genre, including Green Hell, The Forest,
Subnautica (yes yes, we’re terrified to be going up against the sequel but we were here first
so we’re sticking with the date) while trying to do our own thing.

We also have a speedrunning community who have, against all our expectations, become
rather brilliant at running the maze and escaping the island in staggeringly quick times. The
game isn’t even out and there are people better at it than us!

We’ll see you in the maze.

They say 95% of the ocean is unexplored, and after playing the Thalassophobia demo, I’m perfectly fine keeping it that way.

The game tasks you with scavenging military gear from crash sites and sunken subs. There’s no map, no light except your flashlight, and the scale of the "void" below you is constant. Seeing a shark silhouette pass just outside your light beam is a specific kind of terror that only this sub truly understands.

I did a deep dive into the demo, covering the plane crash site and the feeling of descending into the abyss. If you want to see what a "sweaty palms" gaming session looks like, check it out.
