Visual Effects Director Says Alan Wake 2 Doesn’t Have a Dismemberment System, but Doesn’t Avoid Body Horror Elements

Original title: The person in charge of visual effects said that “Mind Killer 2” does not have a limb system but does not avoid body horror elements

Previously, the developer of “Alan Wake 2” expressed in an interview that he hopes to pay more attention to creating atmosphere and creating a sense of tension, rather than relying on blood and fright. The horror of the game will be expressed in a different way. Recently, Johannes Richter, the head of Remedy’s visual effects, revealed that the work does not have a limb system.

Richter once again emphasized that the official will not do amputation in the game, but it does not shy away from the body horror element, but pays more attention to the creepy atmosphere and psychological horror. Additionally, he stated that doing dismemberment in the Northlight engine was “very difficult”.

It is understood that Body Horror (Body Horror) is a form of horror expression that emphasizes the depiction of deformation, decay, infection or mutation of the human body. It often induces feelings of fear and nausea by depicting abnormal and disturbing changes in the body. Body horror works often involve themes such as destruction, alienation, loss of control or fusion of the body, and may include visual effects such as body distortion, deformation, exposure of internal organs, abnormal organs, biological parasitism, and flesh decay.

Strictly speaking, the body horror element can indeed attract people. Looking back, “Alan Wake 1” focuses on darkness, which complements Alan’s inner conflict and final battle. In “Alan Wake 2”, the way that the story incorporates physical horror and interweaves the characters is quite worth looking forward to, and it can be expected that the focus will be more on psychological horror.

“Mind Killer 2” will be released on October 17, landing on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S.
