FAQ

Why Ottercide?

Our team grew particularly attached to an adorable live otter stream that kept us peaceful while developing this horror game. Thus, we ended up with the play on words, Ottercide Studio as our development team name.

Is this game a retelling of La Llorona?

While the team pulled inspiration from the tale, this game is not a retelling of La Llorona. Instead, we drew from the lore to have something to ground us while also prioritizing remaining respectful to the story's origins. Folktales are a great way to keep culture and story alive while paving the way for new tales. We hope you enjoy our game as much as we loved developing it.

Will the game be playable in Spanish?

We had hoped to fit in localization during development, but it, unfortunately, did not end up falling within our final scope.
