It is not new information, but it has been going on for a few years now. The video game industry exceeds and grows the annual turnover that other major cultural influences such as cinema or music can have annually.. This type of entertainment is proving to be much more profitable than others and, In Spain alone, the Government estimates that it will raise more than 2.3 billion euros in 2024.
Just as in the seventh art there are independent creators, In video games there are also development companies that work on their own as small studios.. The budget, of course, is much smaller, but also They bring products to the market that end up delighting many playerspartly also because they offer more ‘fresh’ games that are separate from the classic lines.
Maximus (@maximus3blog) started his career on YouTube For more than 10 years creating content about horror video games. As time went by, it adapted to other platforms that appeared, such as Twitch or TikTok. Currently, he can boast of making a living from his work as an online content creator, but it is not his only dedication. Earlier this month, however, launched its first video game completely free of charge, and it is giving a lot to talk about.
After so many years playing and sharing content about scary video games, Maximus has now taken the leap to developing its ownand has been released with a short, but fun horror adventure that has as its protagonist one of the most controversial figures on social networks in recent months.
‘Terroro’: the new video game based on the ‘influencer’ Roro Bueno
“Today Pablo wanted me to make him a new video game, that’s why…”these are the words with which the new horror game that all the most famous streamers in Spain are testing begins, based on the ‘tiktoker’ Roro Bueno, who this year suffered harassment from a certain sector of the population which accused him of ‘reproducing and promoting’ archaic gender stereotypes.
Roro, who is dedicated to cook complicated recipes from scratch or even make outfits for herselfalways with the pretext of wanting to please her partner, Pablo. In ‘Terror’, however, the relationship between this very peculiar couple is given a 180 degree turn, telling in the form of first-person psychological horror story the horrifying life that hides behind “the perfect life” of Roro and her boyfriend.
It lasts around half an hour, but is full of nods to different controversies and viral videos of the ‘influencer’, presenting Pablo as a victim locked at home, held by his girlfriend. The video game makes us explore the home in search of clues to discover the hidden story, and to do so, the most original puzzles and riddles must be solved.
It is available on the ‘Steam’ platform completely free of charge.and although it requires fairly low minimum requirements to play it, at the moment you can only enjoy it on PC. In less than a week it has already accumulated almost 500 user reviews, and almost all of them are ‘very positive’, mainly highlighting that the atmosphere of psychological tension is very successful.
Taking advantage of the fact that ‘Halloween’ arrives at the end of the month and the whole marketing theme about terror that occurs in October, despite being a holiday foreign to our culture, Maximus has launched its first video game. For now, It seems that the strategy is working incredibly well for you.since in a few days many streamers and influencers have already recorded themselves testing and reacting to ‘Terroro’ on all networks.
