Why six triple-A developers gave it all up to make spooky indie game Betrayer

While wandering through a nightmarish black-and-white world, I follow a path through the woods to an abandoned settlement huddled inside of a tall, wooden wall. I pass through the gate and, like a true child of the video-game generation, immediately start looking for boxes to loot. I find some, of course, but I also find a large metal bell.

I think for a moment and remember that I saw something near the gate that looked like it might have held something like this, so I go back. A prompt comes up telling me to hang the bell, so I do. Another prompt comes up telling me to ring the bell. I do that, too … and the already dark world instantly shifts to an even darker, more shadowy version of itself.
