At Brasil Game Show 2026 in Sao Paulo, M1G GAMES STUDIOS CEO Otavio Correa Silva described LOCKDOWN, a first-person psychological horror game in development. The protagonist, an out-of-work actor named ROCK SILVA, spends five months confined to his apartment during the 2020 coronavirus outbreak, running out of food and losing his grip. The soundtrack is on Spotify, and English dubbing and translation are planned.
LOCKDOWN has no monsters. Its sources of horror are isolation and delusion, shrinking supplies, illness, quarrels with neighbors, unsettling news reports, unidentified noises, and a daily rhythm coming apart. Silva said being sidelined from work is expressed in Brazilian Portuguese as being in the refrigerator, and the protagonist is that kind of person.
The apartment shifts from refuge to confinement to a prison of the mind. Players move in first person through the room and the limited areas of the building, reading windows, the TV, and the door's peephole, with the sounds that should not be heard as clues. The posters on the walls are set as the protagonist's past acting roles.
