Audience Interview

Audience Interview

Question : What is your favourite type of horror game?
Answer : Horror games which involve Zombies and the survival aspect of games. My favourite games are DayZ which is an open world post apocalyptic survival game.

Question : What do you expect to see in a horror genre?
Answer : I would expect for something weird to happen, they usually have lots of blood and gore. I think it adds more to the suspense if the game is set in a dark place.

Question : What would you expect to see on the front and back cover of the game?
Answer: Something that teases what the game entails. This would make me want to buy the game because it makes it look mysterious. On the back i would expect to see an overview of the features of the game, if it is online etc.

Question : What point of view do you prefer the game to be in?
Answer : I think first person games are scarier because it puts you in the shoes of the character.

Question : What do you expect the text on the back of the cover to say?
Answer: Something that sets the situation you are in, if it's post apocalyptic then I would expect it to say where it's set and who the main characters are, or at least hint at it.

My audience interview was with someone who is within my target audience who play horror games regularly. The answers I got will help me in deciding the layout of my front cover and the information that I will put on the back.
