Now the people behind FPS are working on a follow up, this time focused on horror games. Titled TerrorBytes: The Evolution of Horror Gaming, the 5-part series from writer/director Richard Moss and producer Daniel Richardson aims to celebrate over 40 years of spooky video games and the people who helped bring them to life.
