Angry Demon Studio is a Swedish independent video game developer based in Skövde,[1] co-founded by Caroline Petri, William Sahl and John Kalderon. The company primarily associates itself with horror and adrenaline-filled experiences. Their debut game, Unforgiving: A Northern Hymn, was released in November 2017 for Windows.

History

[edit]

All three founders studied at the University of Skövde. Caroline Petri studied graphics and animation, John kalderon studied graphics and 3D design, and William Sahl studied audio and music.

In their third year at the institute, even before the studio was founded, the developers were working on Unforgiving: A Northern Hymn, which later became their debut project. Upon completion of development, they founded Angry Demon Studio in 2017 and released their first game, which is available on Steam[2].

The success of the first game led to the development and release of their second game, Apsulov: End of Gods. Upon release, publisher Digerati offered to port the game to consoles. In 2023, the studio regained the rights to the game, becoming its owner. The studio itself was now in charge of selling the game.

The latest game so far, Gori: Cuddly Carnage began as a prototype, which was developed shortly after the release of Apsulov. The prototype was first unveiled in 2019 at the SGC (Sweden Game Conference) event under the working title “Rune Skate”. In 2020, the prototype changed its name to the release version, the main character was a cat, and a demo became available. In the same year, publisher Wired Productions joins the studio to work on the project. Thanks to this, Gori: Cuddly Carnage is currently the biggest and longest project of Angry Demon Studio. The game is available on Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Utomik and was ported by the studio itself.

Games

[edit]

Unforgiving: A Northern Hymn

[edit]

Survival horror game heavily inspired by Swedish folklore and Norse mythology[3]. There are no combats in the game, most enemies can be bypassed using stealth[4]. Much of the game is tied up in exploring linear sections or open areas and solving puzzles. One of the game's mechanics is playing a magical harp, the strings of which are certain Norse runes[5]. Published by studio itself and available only on Windows platform.

Apsulov: End of Gods

[edit]

Second first-person survival horror game developed by Angry Demon Studio. The game is also based on Norse mythology with a dash of technological and biological horror, but with a dash of science fiction. One of the mechanics of the game is the presence of a mechanical arm that allows you to interact with electronics remotely by sending impulses. As you progress through the game, you can defend yourself against enemies by creating a charged blast[6]. Released in 8 August 2019

Gori: Cuddly Carnage

[edit]

Hack and slash action-adventure video game based on platforming and combat. The studio's largest and longest running game at the moment. Stylistically, the game differs significantly from the previous two: it is saturated with colors and scenes with blood, has a dynamic soundtrack and a huge number of obscene expressions and jokes. When creating the game, the developers tried to bring action and violence to the game, but keep the horror elements intact. Released in 29 August 2024.
