In a recent interview, the director discussed how elements from these games influenced both the storytelling and visual style of the movie, creating a unique blend of cinematic and interactive experiences.
The film, which delves into themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships set against a backdrop of suspense and horror, draws parallels to the immersive worlds found in video gaming.
