I did some playtesting for API and quickly fell in love with the game's quirky, yet creepy horror. When I first pitched it to my group for playtesting they asked me how it was both funny and creepy. I thought about a good example and this popped into my head: remember the scene in the original Hellboy movie where he animates that Russian corpse and totes it around? It was a creepy, macabre sight, yet the whole time the thing spewed hateful words at Hellboy; the miserable wretch even continued to curse and rant as it plummeted off the bridge into the void below. To me, that's API. Creepy, yet quirky in a humorous sorta way. You *will* love this game. I'm ultra picky about games and even I love it. That's saying something.
