Game Devourer got to ask questions to the developers of Luto. They really wanted the game to turn out the way it did, and worked hard to keep the horror without relying on jump scares.
Luto is an M.R. James ghost story in video game form; creepy, unsettling, gorgeous.
Luto was one of those games that really made me feel scared. It is more like a game that makes you slowly feel fear through its environment, not jump scares - Game Devourer
Luto is a mixture of well-executed jump scares and and powerful narrative that serves to make it an effective and consuming horror title.
