Orange County is a 2019 horror video game developed by pastasfuture, the professional name of independent developer Nicholas Brancaccio. The game is a first-person horror game in which the player avoids traffic whilst riding a skateboard. The game was developed in several months in 2019 for the Haunted PS1 Summer Spooks game jam, hosted by Irish independent developer Breogán Hackett.[1] On 6 February 2020, an update to Orange County was released as part of the horror game compilation Haunted PS1 Demo Disc, also published by Hackett.[2] The game received praise for its unusual fusion of the skateboarding and horror genres.
Orange County is a skateboarding game in which the player navigates a procedurally-generated endless landscape by skateboard, avoiding hazards such as traffic and buildings. The player is able to walk or skate at a faster pace, but is vulnerable to falling off if they collide with a hazard. As the game progresses, the density of traffic increases.One of these is a police vehicle that attempts to pursue the player and knock them over. The game is open-ended and the player is left to explore the environment whilst attempting to avoid hazards.[1]
