Who lives in Callisto prison? When creating The Callisto Protocol horror, the developers were inspired by the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants"

The developers of The Callisto Protocol were inspired by many things when creating the horror. One of them was cartoons. For example, SpongeBob SquarePants and Pixar studio projects.

Here's What We Know

Character director Glauco Longhi said that the team wanted to make something very crazy looking, but so that it worked. In this they were helped by the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. The team looked at it in terms of styling and movement. It helped to style a lot of things to make them more appealing and improve the movement of the different freaks and people.

Longhi said that Striking Distance Studios chose this approach because cartoons are particularly good at conveying character through "strong silhouettes." According to the director, Disney, Pixar or anyone else immediately gives an awareness of what the character is. The viewer immediately understands this thanks to strong silhouettes.

Flashback

The Callisto Protocol is a third-person survival horror. The player will take on the role of Jacob Lee, a victim thrown into Black Iron Prison, a maximum security prison located on Jupiter's moon, Callisto. When the inmates begin to transform into monstrous creatures, chaos engulfs the prison. To survive, Jacob must make his way to safety to escape the prison, while uncovering dark and disturbing secrets buried beneath Callisto's surface. The game is developed by the creators of Dead Space, so you shouldn't worry about the horror elements of the game.
