Corey Barton starts his first video game on Xbox and PC in July. A young entrepreneur from the Fens is set to release his first video game next month after three years of teaching himself how to make them. He is a 16-year-old programmer. He came to know about all the things that a programmer should know across online tutorials. He is now ready to take off.

He is a student of Marshland High school. His latest creation will officially go on the market for Xbox One and PC players. Corey said that he got into making games about two to three years ago as a hobby and he learnt how to program by looking up tutorials and just by teaching myself. He also said that he did run into a lot of problems, but I managed to overcome those and started out making small games at first, and only recently decided to make bigger games with more storytelling.

The techie teen says his first-person Indie horror game is all about a mental patient who has been left behind in an abandoned asylum. Corey’s game, titled Writer Unknown, is set for release on Tuesday, July 7 and will be available on Microsoft’s Xbox One platform and PC.

Self-releasing the game under his company, DiverseTGM Ltd, it will be available for free for 10 lucky people who could win an online redeemable code.

His game idea is quite fascinating like a Nolan movie. It is a game on a mental patient who cannot tell what is real and what is his imagination. You have to explore through an abandoned asylum with just a flashlight. You come across supernatural things. Is it real, or is it his imagination?
