00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:21.500
It all started with three friends.

00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:24.050
They wanted to bring together their love for video games

00:00:24.050 --> 00:00:27.399
with the eerie feeling of classic horror movies.

00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:33.450
Meeting after meeting, a playable story took form.

00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:34.799
They called it...

00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:44.299
When even the legendary Italian horror film director, Dario Argento, fell in love with the script,

00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:47.549
they knew they had something great in their hands.

00:00:50.149 --> 00:00:54.149
Their next goal was to bring the world of Dreadful Bond to life.

00:00:54.149 --> 00:00:55.799
A team was needed.

00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:01.700
First, they involved the guys at Studio ASC, to conjure up the visual flair of the game.

00:01:10.849 --> 00:01:13.500
With a clear design style firmly in place,

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:17.900
it was now time to engage a group of skilled game artists to build that world

00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:29.799
including game programmers with a long experience with Unreal Engine

00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:33.500
and a photogrammetry specialist.

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.450
Meanwhile, the cinematic experience within the game was designed with a directorial eye

00:01:44.299 --> 00:01:49.700
and supported by top-notch music and sound design by the award-winning DanCa studio.

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.849
But what is Dreadful Bond?

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.799
Imagine you wake up in an abandoned cemetery, at night,

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.900
with no idea about why you are there and...

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:06.700
wait, who are you?

00:02:06.700 --> 00:02:10.500
Moreover, everything is black and white. Pretty unsettling.

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:12.599
And that’s how it begins.

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:18.500
A first-person psychological horror investigation throughout an abandoned dwelling,

00:02:18.500 --> 00:02:20.900
where secrets lay hidden behind every corner

00:02:20.900 --> 00:02:24.099
and walls are haunted by the shadows of past events.

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.000
Nothing but sounds to guide the player’s interactions.

00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.000
An immersive blend of different inspirations,

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.099
brought to life combining location shooting in abandoned places all over Italy

00:02:37.099 --> 00:02:39.800
with a clever use of photogrammetry.

00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:44.500
All made possible by the power of Unreal Engine 4.

00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:49.080
Real people were filmed to recreate the shadows,

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.449
one of the game’s most peculiar features.

00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:56.000
Besides appreciating the script, the horror movie legend Dario Argento

00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.750
was fascinated by the visual quality and uniqueness

00:02:58.750 --> 00:03:01.500
that came from this composite approach.

00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:06.599
"In this game, I see a lot in common with my way of making movies"

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.699
And that's why the Maestro accepted to join the project as creative supervisor.

00:03:11.750 --> 00:03:13.449
Everything’s in place.

00:03:13.449 --> 00:03:15.800
Now, the only thing they need...

00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.150
is YOU.

00:03:17.150 --> 00:03:19.150
