Rot is a short psychological horror story about obsession, rejection and self-hatred. It was developed as an experiment, to answer the question: 'can you make dread a place?'. It is inspired by titles such as P.T. and indie developer Kittyhorrorshow's game Anatomy. It also draws inspiration from Davey Wreden's The Beginner's Guide. The retro, low-res aesthetic of the game is inspired by the work of Finnish indie developer 98DEMAKE, who was kind enough to get in touch during development.
