In addition to cult horror films like Alien and Horizon Horizon, the creators of The Callisto Protocol were influenced by cartoons – Longhi, in particular, mentioned the show SpongeBob SquarePants.
“We look at cartoons in terms of stylization and movement. Though [The Callisto Protocol] very realistic and atmospheric, we make some elements more attractive through stylization, ”said Longhi.

According to Longa, the developers of The Callisto Protocol tried to additionally stylize especially violent animations (with blood, separation of limbs from the body) to emphasize them.
Longhi adds that cartoons are very good at conveying the essence of a character without words: “Disney, Pixar and so on – they immediately get the message across to you. If the character is fast, you will immediately understand this by a strong silhouette.
