Hey everyone,

Big thanks to everyone who already replied to our previous two posts — we received some awesome messages and demos, and the team is really motivated!

We just launched our official recruitment portal for LAST SHOW, a narrative-driven indie mascot horror game set in an abandoned animatronic amusement park (closed February 14th, 1963… but the lights never went out).

You play as Marcus Hale, investigative journalist sneaking in during 1970 with only a flashlight and a notebook. The park remembers everything.

Full project details, easy application form are available here:

If you love deep environmental storytelling, creepy 60s/70s analog horror, emotional (and corrupted) animatronics, and want to help bring this haunted park to life — we’d love to hear from you.

Hugo is still waiting at the end of the main alley… The show must go on.

Drop by the portal or reply here with your portfolio/demo.

Hi! I'd like to submit a request regarding my horror game, LAST SHOW. Project Concept: It's a narrative horror game set in an abandoned animatronic amusement park, closed since 1963. The aesthetic is typical of the 60s and 70s, blending charm and unease (vintage posters, faded colors, malfunctioning lighting). What I need (priority): 👉 Mockup of the main menu interface Instructions: Vintage amusement park style (1960s) Slightly unsettling atmosphere Everything seems normal at first glance… but something's off Old textures (paper, rust, faded paint) Subtle horror (not too obvious) Menu elements: Start Game Continue Settings Quit (PS: I love your work!)

I send you a request

🎡 LAST SHOW — WE ARE RECRUITING (and trying not to die doing it)

Hey!

We’re working on LAST SHOW, an indie horror game set in a totally-not-cursed animatronic amusement park from the 1970s.

Everything is fine. The robots are friendly. Nothing bad happened in 1963. 🙂

(ok that’s a lie)

🎯 We need YOU to help us survive development :

🎨 Artist → draw creepy (or cute… then creepy) animatronics

💻 Programmer → make the game work (and fix what breaks… which is everything)

🎮 Game Designer → decide how the player gets scared (professionally)

📱 UI Designer → make menus that don’t look like a haunted Windows XP

🕺 Animator / Rigger → bring robots to life (please not too much life)

🧠 UX Designer → make sure players enjoy being terrified

💡 About the project : • Unreal Engine 5 • Story-driven horror • Weird 60s cabaret vibes • Chapter I will be FREE on Itch.io

⚠️ Important : We are a small indie team No budget Only passion (and probably bad decisions)

🎪 Join us if you want to : • make a cool horror game • work with a chaotic but motivated team • or just see what happens when we open the park again 😈

👉 DM me if interested!

Hey Djosh! To keep things simple to start, 

we'd love to ask you for one test track : 

the main theme of the game.

It's the music that plays at launch — 

it should feel like an old 1960s amusement park, 

nostalgic and warm at first, then slowly 

drifting into something unsettling.

No set length, no pressure — 

just whatever you feel fits the vibe!     

Have you discord ??

Hi Gerald, I have Discord so if you have it you can contact me (funworks.co)

Hey Djosh! Really glad you reached out 

Last Show is an indie horror game set in an 

abandoned animatronic amusement park in 1970. 

The music style we're looking for is dark cabaret 

Do you have any demos or examples of your work 

I could listen to? Would love to hear your style!
