With Infliction being the first title to come from Caustic Reality, McCleary explained the inspiration behind the name of their studio. Speaking to Gamers Classified, he commented on how "[for me] Caustic Reality means a version of warped reality, which [...] mirrors the sort of game I'm making".
Gamers Classified reviewed Infliction ahead of PAX, and speaking to McCleary, we had an inside look as to what to expect from the game.
Players of Infliction can expect some jumps in time to uncover the story of the game. With, what McCleary describes as a happy family turned to the subject of a horror story, he explains how the birth of his daughter inspired him on the direction of Infliction. He explains that the fears that came with becoming a new father were a significant influence on what became of Infliction. This may offer a hint towards what gamers can expect from the title.
While Infliction promises to have depth to it's story, there is an equal amount of depth in the environment of the game. The house is full of individual items, all of which can be inspected, which McCleary said was to make the house of Infliction feel more 'lived in'.
The world of the game is rich with artwork and interactive pieces to be discovered as you make your way through the dark house and uncover the story of Infliction. With an intense story to be discovered and a terrifying environment to navigate, Infliction is a game that horror fans won't want to miss.
