It might not seem like the most likely inspiration for a horror video game, but James Muirhead says working in a Scottish fish and chip shop provided the perfect setting for his latest creation.
"I wanted a culturally Scottish place, and the most Scottish cultural place I could think of was a fish and chip shop," he said.
"I also worked in a fish and chip shop myself in Perth before I worked in the games industry. It was the job I had straight after university."
The 28-year-old has just been awarded £10,000 in funding by Creative Scotland to help create Grease Trap '99, a video game with Gaelic dialogue where players try to fulfil customer orders while a monster is growing in the basement.
"Some creepy things start happening inside the chip shop while they're working," James said.
