Retro/Grade developer Matt Gilgenbach has announced that his next title will be a psychological horror game entitled Neverending Nightmares.As detailed by Polygon, Neverending Nightmares will follow the exploits of a man who keeps waking up from one horrific nightmare only to find himself in another. The title emanates from Gilgenbach's struggles with depression and OCD after he and his then-development partner Justin Wilder spent $140K and 40 hours a week for four years working on the rhythm-based side-scrolling adventure Retro/Grade, only for it to sell so poorly that the devs couldn't even recoup their loss.
With Wilder having left the pair's two-man studio of 24 Caret Games for a position at Secret Agent Clank developer High Impact Games, Gilgenbach has now started his own studio Infinitap Games. Neverending Nightmares will be the indie outfit's first game and Retro/Grade artist Joe Grabowski is doing the visuals - although you'd never know it looking at how aesthetically dissimilar they are. Gilgenbach's old dev buddy from his days at Heavy Iron Studios, Daniel Sass, is joining the indie team as well.
