Hideo Kojima and Junji Ito have considered collaborating to develop a horror game together (via Comic Book). Japanese horror mangaka Ito favours themes of “jealousy, envy, body horror, irrational compulsion, the breakdown of society, deep-sea organisms, and the inevitability of one’s demise” in his work.
