Step inside La Bóveda as we sit down with Phil Dickens, co-founder of the The Horror Game Awards, for a deep dive into the past, present, and future of survival horror.

In this episode, we explore the origins of The Horror Game Awards how a passion-driven idea evolved into a platform dedicated entirely to celebrating horror in gaming. Phil shares the motivations behind its creation, the philosophy that guides it, and the importance of giving the genre the recognition it has long deserved.

The conversation also expands into the evolution of survival horror itself. From its foundational roots to its modern identity, we break down how the genre has transformed over the years, and where it may be heading next. A major focus is placed on the rise of indie developers creators who continue to redefine fear through experimentation, atmosphere, and bold design choices.

For us, this conversation is personal.

What began as a vision to become a voice for survival horror and create a space where the genre could be preserved and celebrated has grown into something real. With the launch of TheSurvivalHorror.com and the continued growth of La Bóveda Podcast, we are now connecting with the very people helping shape the future of horror in games.

This is more than just an interview it’s a milestone.

If you’re passionate about survival horror, game design, and the culture surrounding the genre, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
