How "A Place for the Unwilling" got its name


Time for a small update. Devs rarely speak about how they chose a name for their game. It’s hard to pick one that feels unique and conveys the mood of your project… … while it’s also easy to google and doesn’t pop up something weird when you look it up at urban dictionary.

Some studios have funny stories about how they came out with theirs. Others just magically found it without even trying.

In most cases, it’s not that cool. You don’t wake up one day with just the perfect name, it’s a long process. Like in any brainstorming session, you keep throwing ideas until one sticks. We wrote a long list of possible names, some tried to mimic titles from short tales that conveyed a similar mood, some came out of our minds.

Though we’re perfectly aware most of these names are completely terrible, we thought it’d be fun to share them with you. We’ll let you some time so you can pick the one you think it’s the absolute worst.

And remember you can join our Discord to hang around, ask us about the game and get the latest updates.

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖
