Netflix's strategy for its new interactive thriller is to integrate the player's phone directly into the gameplay, making it a required tool rather than a distraction.
Night School completely changed its development pipeline for its new game, discarding initial work to switch from a voice-over process to a full performance capture process to improve quality.
Troy Baker predicts that Netflix, with Night School's new game, will prove the viability of a gaming market targeted at non-gamers who are primarily content consumers on its platform.
Night School, a studio known for games like "Oxenfree" and "Afterparty," is moving into the "hardcore horror" genre with its latest title for Netflix.
Night School's new hardcore horror game is competing in a more competitive and higher-stakes market segment than the studio's previous titles.
The interactive, phone-based game format developed by Night School for Netflix is considered a "big swing" in a category that has not previously been "wildly successful."
Night School spent more time on the polish phase for its new game than most other studios typically do, reflecting a high commitment to quality.
Troy Baker suggests that games developed for the Netflix platform must meet a high quality bar.
The development team at Night School is already planning its next, more ambitious project based on the lessons learned from the current game.
