Irish Culture and Indie Horror: A Chat With Solo Developer Dan McGrath
Despite being a country known for its rich culture and folklore, Ireland very rarely finds the more horrifying elements of its mythology portrayed in video games. If you grew up in Ireland, particularly in the sparse wide-open countryside far from any urban city, your friends, parents, and relatives would have most likely told you stories of the many morbid creatures and spirits that supposedly walked the plains of Ireland. Everything from The Morrigan to the well-known Banshee would have kept you up late at night as a child. For Dan McGrath, a part-time indie game developer in Cork, Ireland it was these stories along with his love for more conventionally popular horror that would shape his game development journey.
