"We didn't want to demonise fetish or BDSM": People aren't dying in horror game Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival because of what they do in the bedroom

Developers Emil Esov and Antony de Fault discuss the themes of Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, emphasizing that the game does not demonize BDSM or fetish play. Instead, it explores the self-destructive impulses of characters who seek extreme experiences, differentiating unhealthy engagement from the practices themselves. The game aims to portray male and female pain and pleasure equally, reflecting contemporary cultural shifts.
