Those Who Remain is an upcoming horror game from Camel 101, but how much scares can we expect? Well, we managed to speak to Ricardo Cesteiro, producer of Those Who Remain, over at the Game Developer Conference (GDC), and during the interview he spoke about how the team behind the title actually "don't like to call it a horror game".

"It is a dark story about bullying, suicide and fidelity, so it's heavy," he clarified, also making it clear that "it is not a scare-fest".

Those Who Remain is a psychological thriller that takes place in Dormont, a small town in the US that has been cursed by a demon who has shrouded the place in darkness. During this time, residents of the town are being killed by strange creatures roaming around, with the light as their only weakness. We'll have to wait to see why this is happening, but Cesteiro did say that "some parts are unclear about what's real and what isn't".

Those Who Remain is set to release on PC and Xbox One within the next two months, with plans to launch on PS4 and Switch later this year.
