In this episode of the Looks Creepy Cool Podcast, host Renee sits down with Finnish game developer Uki Eiri (CoAction) to explore her atmospheric vampire story Sucks To Be In The Sticks, featured in this year’s Creepy Cool Showcase at the 2025 Haunted House FearFest Film & Video Game Festival
In the game, you play as 19-year-old Ilo, whose life is thrown into chaos after becoming a vampire. While others survive on human energy, Ilo can only live on blood — and drinking it pulls you into strangers’ deepest grief, memories, and hidden fears through emotional, story-rich mini-games. It’s a dark fantasy where the supernatural bleeds into the personal, set against a small-town, post-Soviet backdrop full of loss, identity, and eerie beauty.
Uki and Renee wander room by room through the Haunted House to uncover the inspirations, themes, and emotional truths behind this haunting demo.
