Hell Dive — 2025 winner of Best Video Game of the Year and the Grim Reaper Award at Haunted House FearFest — is a claustrophobic deep-sea horror experience from developer Thomas-Bo Huusmann of Teacup Games. In this episode, host Renee Huff steps into the depths with Thomas-Bo to explore how the game was created, the emotional cost of game development, and the lessons learned from high-stakes industry challenges.
Hell Dive places players aboard an abandoned deep-sea colony where oxygen is scarce, horrors lurk in the dark, and every corridor holds a secret. Thomas-Bo shares the inspirations behind the game’s atmosphere, the complexities of underwater horror, and a deeply personal story about a past contractual mistake that led to a devastating financial loss — and ultimately reshaped his career.
A conversation about fear, failure, and resilience beneath the surface.
