Ep. 122: Kojima in Reverse (pt. 1)

Zero Brightness - A Podcast About Horror Video Games

03/07/22 • 134 min

Josh (drummer of the sludge metal band Serac) joins for a discussion of Hideo Kojima's games in reverse-chronological order. In this first part, we spend a lot of time talking about Death Stranding, as well as how the more recent Metal Gear Solid games (IV and V) directly lead into the that game. We also discuss the horror elements of Kojima's works, the influence of PT, trying to figure out the ending of Death Stranding and Kojima's love of drunk uncle-style conspiracy theories. Part two soon!

EP 42: Echo Night

Zero Brightness - A Podcast About Horror Video Games

01/27/20 • 72 min

We're throwing it back to the original Echo Night game, which also happens to be the original Walking Sim. We discuss the many facets of this 1998 PS1 classic, from its forward thinking design to its super crusty controls - stopping along the way to discuss, among other things, why all From Software NPCs end their sentences with "Heh heh heh..."

EP 28: Kuon

Zero Brightness - A Podcast About Horror Video Games

10/21/19 • 94 min

We're talking about Kuon, the From Software-developed PS2 game that has taken on mythical stature due to its rarity. We break down what it's like to actually play the game - a mix of asymmetrical storytelling, classic Survival Horror gameplay and rubbing bloody cloths on things. Grab your kimono and Clorox wipes, its' about to get nasty in here.

EP 37: Indie Horror Rodeo Pt. 2(Doki Doki Literature Club and IMSCARED)

Zero Brightness - A Podcast About Horror Video Games

12/23/19 • 76 min

We dive into discussing two very meta, very weird indie horror games when we talk about Doki Doki Literature Club and IMSCARED. These games raise all sorts of questions, like: Am I on a list for playing these? Did I really get a virus? What the heck is an eversion? Answers to these questions and more await you inside!

EP 36: Yume Nikki

Zero Brightness - A Podcast About Horror Video Games

12/16/19 • 75 min

16-bit month comes to a close as we tackle Yume Nikki, the bizarre and mysterious Art-PG game that I like so much that I named a band after it. We talk about its many strange quirks and weird characters, as well the heavy influence its had on the many internet-based horror stories, walking simulators and indie games that have been made in the years since its original release.

EP 30: The Music of Silent Hill, Pt. 1

Zero Brightness - A Podcast About Horror Video Games

11/04/19 • 94 min

It's our 30th episode and we're discussing the music of Silent Hill! We dive deep into the influences of the artist behind these iconic tunes (Akira Yamaoka) as well as the finer points of these fantastic soundtracks. We also give you a heaping helping of music recommendations, with more to come in future installments. Playlist for all of our recommendations and references dropped in our Silent Hill 1 discussion: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4k6m8nDi9sC_7rqamiXPYH8NxvgBU7db

EP 41: Paratopic & Claire (Indie Horror Rodeo Pt. 3)

Zero Brightness - A Podcast About Horror Video Games

01/20/20 • 71 min

We're back at the Indie Horror Rodeo, exploring a couple of games that made waves by combining vintage aesthetics with downright bizarre approaches to narrative and gameplay. Paratopic takes us on a disjointed, dystopian journey while Claire guides us to the heart of Silent Hill - by making us constantly check the map, of course.

EP 27: Blasphemous

Zero Brightness - A Podcast About Horror Video Games

10/14/19 • 93 min

We drag ourselves through the Bosch-style hellscape of The Game Kitchen's new Gothic Metroidvania game Blasphemous and try to answer the big questions that it poses. We're talking mechanics, influences, dashing around with a giant sword, existential dread, pure frustration and giant evil babies - so you know it's gonna be a good time.

EP 26: Clock Tower (SNES)

Zero Brightness - A Podcast About Horror Video Games

10/07/19 • 91 min

We tackle Clock Tower, not only the first 16-bit game we've played for the show but THE 16-bit horror game - a work whose influence has been strongly felt in the genre despite its janky, uh, everything. We talk about its direct inspirations (Argento's Phenomena and Suspiria) as well as its many quirks, including a heavily randomized gameplay experience. You won't believe who we both accidentally killed! Just kidding, it's Lotte. It's always Lotte.
