In this episode of the Looks Creepy Cool horror podcast, host Renee speaks with Dan Lester, creator of the survival-horror game Deadly Footprints and founder of Monkeys Might Puke.

They explore the psychology of fear in gaming — what makes players panic, why chase scenes get your heart racing, and how sound and pacing transform tension into terror. Dan shares his creative process, the challenges of indie game development, and the delicate balance between fear, fun, and player control.

Listeners will discover how real emotions drive gameplay, how survival instincts influence design, and why horror games tap into our most primal reactions.

If you love survival horror, game design, and the thrill of fear in interactive storytelling, this episode will pull you right into the chase.
