Thanks to modern technology, audiences can glimpse how games inspired by popular books and films might look in interactive form. A recent video showcased a potential adaptation of the horror classic It, exploring how a title drawn from Stephen King’s novel could translate into gameplay and atmosphere.
The segment highlights photorealistic horror crafted with Unreal Engine 5, a tool recognized for rendering detailed environments and lifelike characters. The featured cutscene follows a protagonist as they walk a street, a bright red balloon floating ahead before a chilling encounter with Pennywise emerges along the way.
Based on Stephen King’s famed novel, the It universe has long sparked imagination about how such material could be brought to interactive entertainment. Earlier discussions around Pennywise’s perspective and artificial intelligence have also circulated, illustrating how a game could explore both the fear and the psychology behind the iconic villain.
