Fish & Chip Shop Becomes Horror Game Setting
26 Feb
Summary
- A Scottish fish and chip shop is the unique setting for a new horror game.
- The game features Gaelic dialogue and a Cthulhu-esque monster.
- Funding secured will allow full-time development and Gaelic language classes.
James Muirhead, drawing inspiration from his past work in a Scottish fish and chip shop, has created 'Grease Trap '99,' a novel horror video game. The game is set in a quintessential Scottish chippy, a culturally significant location for Muirhead, who previously worked in such an establishment after university.
The game uniquely features Gaelic dialogue. Players must manage customer orders while a Cthulhu-esque monster, described as octopussy and slimy, grows in the basement. The East Nuek of Fife's ambiance also contributes to the game's premise of a spooky mystery in a seaside town.
