Description Year Of The Ladybug is a third-person survival horror game with an unusual and surreal art direction. 
The game centers on protagonist James Hsieh as he is pulled through a hellish world full of demonic
creatures and nightmarish illusions.

Shining over Evil Dead, YOTL sets the scene for the horror with meticulous care. Instead of lurking in
dark corners of a haunted house, here the creatures casually strut around a brightly-lit hospital. It doesn't
mean I am intentionally making everything bright just for the sake of making it look different from other
horror games, I just want to explore the other side of horror from my own experience. 

I remember getting the most insane chill from taking a piss at this massive, squeaky clean, and empty 
public bathroom at a conference. The sound of water drops...terror terror terror.

YEAR OF THE LADYBUG

I added a noise filter to this painting to make it look like
a print from a brochure. I am not entirely sure if I like it

The nurse's face/hairstyle suggest a twisted version of first gen Silk Spectre from Watchmen.  Priceless.  And imho uber-hygenic cutting-edge tech can be just as creepy as the antiquated stuff in Silent Hill. . . i'm thinking of all those white, stainless steel multi-storied South Korean plastic surgery clinics.  They're plenty creepy, and you totally channeled that.  Keep it up!!

That strange, that's a laptop.  Normally in horror games, the location has much older tech and takes place in a very old broke down building.  Are you... teadering away from that trope? *GASP*

That is a good point! I intended the setting to be more everyday life friendly so I guess it's working
I am totally flying away from the herd to be a loner. Loner for life!!!

Well I like it.  Since doing it with buildings of a particular date over and over again is kinda old.  This makes it refreshing.
