IRON LUNG 1 YEAR LATER | Featuring

Iron Lung captivated indie horror fans upon its release on March 10th, 2022. Since then the game has been lodged in the minds of players for a number of reasons including its atmosphere, story, and visuals. One year on from its release I sat down with the game's developer David Szymanski to talk about the shock hit.

Oh man, the original idea for the ending is terrifying. What a great interview

[@GamingSandbox_]

Thank you! He talks a good bit more about the response to the ending in the companion podcast linked in the description

[@BustyCatbot]

I feel like an ending of the player surviving would have been great, but as a secret ending, by going off the beaten path and finding different points of interest that aren't marked, getting the secret good ending by uncovering yet more unexplainable anomalies.

[@xEplosivecake]

the idea that hes outside the submarine talking to you through the subs camera is really funny for some reason

[@prsaseta]

Iron Lung is my favorite horror game ever (granted, I don't play many horror games). I really look forward to anything in the same universe

[@indiechoices]

Fantastic mate. I'd never heard of Iron Lung before (probably because the game sounds like my actual nightmare) but I'm mega intrigued to find out more about it

[@MelonSiggi]

Why do you not have more subs? this is a very well made video! :)

[@GamingSandbox_]

Thank you!

[@ComicalRiddler]

i feel that iron lung's universe could definitely benefit from leaning heavily into cosmic horror

[@Totolaser7]

250 subscribers??? with dev interviews like this??? criminal! i look forward to your future videos

[@GamingSandbox_]

Thank you!

[@Tritero]

Iron Lung is my favorite horror game and I had pleasure playing and speedrunning every single seconds of it, great interview!

[@eusouguriaaleatoria]

Iron lung has to be one of my favorite indie horror games

[@StudioKelpie1993]

Honestly, Dusk was my first game by David Szymanski I played and I loved it, so when I saw Pyro's playthrough of Iron Lung, I just had to play it!

[@toiletwineconnoisseur6434]

THE MUSIC MACHINE MENTIONED!

[@camryndowns2192]

I've been watching vids on this no stop and now to get the developers thoughts on the game makes it just so much more amazing. This is definitely a game that needs to get more attention and even a sequel because dam it's good.

[@robooz]

Really interesting interview, loved this video and the podcast. I think the quiet rapture universe and David's games in general are just really interesting so hearing some of his insight on game development was awesome!

[@ThistleDoGaming]

LOCH NESS REPRESENT!

[@CodyReader]

Solid interview.

[@Cashopeia]

Love the interview!☺

[@ezel99]

Amazing interview!

[@chiefsean16]

Big fan of David's from Scotland. No idea Nessie and Loch Ness inspired Iron Lung.

[@maniestranger4329]

Seriesly david szymanski Is one of the must telneted and underrate horror games developer he's understanding of cosmic and unknown horror is silent hill lvl genius

[@TheOnlyTrueONION]

A shame you have yet to play squirrel stapler, it is quite an experience.

[@GamingSandbox_]

I know! I have the Dread X Collection 2 on my PC but need to get around to Squirrel Stapler.

[@RDani223]

I didn't even know that game was made by him too

[@AbdullahKhan-el6xw]

now we know what to expect. :)

[@cikame]

When he makes another game in this universe i hope he doesn't confirm that it has anything to do with it, a totally unrelated game that maybe doesn't even include the quiet rapture or explain anything about it, maybe it introduces characters or mythos that play a role but only has the smallest of connections to this game, that'll get the theorists going wild :P.

[@jasonjr376]

You should cover cruelty squad😊

[@GamingSandbox_]

Have yet to play the game yet but will definitely get around to it soon!

[@gmanifesto5186]

Because of Markiplier making this as a (theatrical movie? mind blowing!- anyway), this game will go booming as franchise.

[@Ever_2008_ARG]

Someone should modify the game to have the original ending

[@usernamenotavailablee]

Nice. Now make an interview about fucking Squirrel Stapler 💀
