I start to go in, but this time I'm warned more forcefully. I ask why and I get a look: a wrinkled nose and a shake of the head. I'm walking there with Techland's international PR rep, Bozena Rudyk when we pass a pedestrian tunnel that runs under the tracks. The original three-person team has now blossomed to almost 30, working out of a rented office space a short walk and over the train tracks from the main office.

That one month turned into another year, and the mod became a standalone game. Then our bosses said, 'Hey, that's kind of cool tech. 'We started the project with three people - a programmer, myself, and one graphic designer who changed the textures,' says Marcin Kruczkiewicz, Producer on Hellraid. The story goes like this: Some time after the release of Dead Island, a three-person team at Techland was monkeying around with the Dead Island 'Chrome 5' engine, trying to make a medieval slasher mod. 'If you want to make something scary, you need to find out about people's fears.' And Hellraid, the forthcoming fantasy-horror 'first person slasher,' is what it hopes to be its next. Dead Island, published by Deep Silver, was its first breakout hit.

You would never have heard of Hellraid developer Techland if it wasn't for the surprise zombie hit Dead Island, but it's been around as a video game company of one sort or another for almost 25 years.
