Blumhouse Games, known for its successful horror films, is now publishing horror video games. At Summer Game Fest 2025, they showcased two new games, Grave Seasons—a dark twist on farming games—and Crisol: Theater of Idols, which blends horror elements reminiscent of Resident Evil and BioShock. Despite their differences, both games reflect Blumhouse's commitment to bringing various flavors of horror to gamers. Blumhouse aims to elevate lesser-known projects within the genre, leveraging its reputation in the horror industry for broader gaming audiences.
"We have this internal saying: 'We're making all different flavors of horror games for everyone,' Blumhouse's Ara Josefsson told me after my demos with the publisher's SGF 2025 slate."
"Grave Seasons is a dark twist on farming sims, whereas Crisol blends elements of recent Resident Evil games with BioShock, all set in a world inspired by Spanish art and folklore."
"Blumhouse showed off two more games that, while perhaps not specifically for beginners, do well to express Blumhouse Games' publishing vision."
"The prospect of the company getting into horror video games is an exciting one for me, as I hope the publisher can use a keen eye to lift notable projects out of obscurity."
