On this week’sSup Holmes?, we’ll be talking to Jasper Byrne, creator of the critically acclaimedLone Survivor(nowon Steam). The game managed to score a 9/10 from our own Jim Sterling. That’s something that most games from huge, multi-million dollar publishers fail to do, let alone titles in the now struggling survival horror genre.

I’ll discuss with Mr. Byrne how he managed to make such an evocative game with such limited tools, the depiction of mental illness in videogames, the potential forLone Survivorto come to other platforms, and a whole lot more.
