What hooks you
Created by Gooseworx, this animated series draws on Harlan Ellison's 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream' for its unsettling tone. The animation was produced in Autodesk Maya and rendered in Unreal Engine 5, with music inspired by Bo En's work on Snipperclips. Lizzie Freeman voices Pomni, and Alex Rochon voices Caine.
