(Both games also won Golden Lock Awards.) He joins us on REPOD to talk about his inspiration, thoughts on what makes for a good horror escape room, and the Athens escape room scene. These games are massive, and it&#8217;s absolutely wild that for the most part, Bill designs and builds these games all by himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really loved hearing him talk about using <a href=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/2022\/09\/25\/actors-puzzles-escape-rooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">actors as puzzles<\/a> in his games. It&#8217;s one of the many mechanics that make his games feel like real live video games. Indeed, he was heavily inspired by <em>Silent Hill<\/em>, <em>Mansions<\/em> <em>of Madness<\/em>, and <em>Betrayal at House on the Hill<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It became very clear as we talked to Bill that his motivation isn&#8217;t to scare the players as much as possible; rather it&#8217;s to give the players the best experience possible. That&#8217;s why he has three different game modes for <em>The Sanatorium<\/em>: Day Mode where it&#8217;s less scary with more focus on the puzzles, Night Mode where the focus is on the actors and scares, and Midnight Mode where players get the best of both worlds\u2014maximum puzzles and maximum scares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re not a fan of horror games, I think you will find this conversation compelling. Hopefully it will convince you check out the games at Lockhill next time you are near Athens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"thank-you-to-our-sponsors\">Thank You to Our Sponsors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: Weldwood Marketing, Buzzshot, and COGS.
