Asymmetrical Survival Horror – Looking for Team (RevShare)

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to build a small indie team for a new asymmetrical survival horror game focused on psychological tension and atmosphere.

This is a rev-share / passion project, as I don’t currently have a budget.

I want to be transparent from the start: there is no upfront payment. The goal is to build something strong together, create a playable prototype, and potentially grow it into a commercial release.

About the game

This is an asymmetrical survival horror experience where one player becomes a “cursed soul” (killer) and the others are “martyrs” (survivors).

The core idea is not just chasing or hiding — but maintaining a constant psychological tension between both sides, where neither feels fully dominant.

The focus is on:

  • Deep atmospheric horror
  • Psychological pressure over jump scares
  • Careful balance between killer and survivors
  • Unpredictability and fear through systems, not scripts

Think asymmetrical horror with a stronger psychological identity.

Current goal

Start small with a vertical slice / prototype, then expand if the concept works.

Looking for

  • Gameplay programmers (Unity / Unreal / networking is a plus)
  • 3D artists (characters + environments)
  • Animators
  • Sound designers (VERY important for horror atmosphere)
  • Anyone passionate about horror game development
  • Network Programmers

Beginners are welcome if motivated.

My role

  • Game concept & design direction
  • System design for asymmetry and balance
  • Project coordination

Looks like a cool project, I'd like to help for the sound design. Sent a Discord fr!

Hey ! Would you need any French translator ?

Maybe later

Okkk ^^

I’d be happy if you could keep me in mind for a potential German translation of the shop pages, the website, or the game itself. You can reach out anytime! jennifer.rosebrock@gmx.de

We don't need translators now we are on a very early development state, but I remember u when we are more advance!

I saw that ;) But the time may come, and I’ll be there waiting :)

Hey I’m a composer and also a huge horror fanatic and I’d love to help out on this project. I sent you a req on discord my user is moosta__

Hi! Do you happen to have any programmer on your team(GDScript/C++)? I currently have nothing special to make and this seems like a fun project I am willing to spend time on.

All programmers are welcome, send me a DC! 

would like to work on audio, sent a discord request

Hi! i want to say that i love the idea of this project. i'm a budding programmer (Unity - C#/C++) that recently finish a course of game design, and i would love to put everything in good practice. Let me know if you are interested!

Sure! All Programmers are welcome! Sent a DC Request to explain to you details.

Hey if your looking for any composers id love to do that along with sound design

Hi, sounds nice. I often make a lot of dark and atmospheric music - all original sound design. Particularly if you're after stuff a bit noisey.
