Note: The screenplay was written concurrently with the 2014 novel of the same name and was based on a short story “Iphigenia in Aulis” as part of the 2012 anthology An Apple for the Creature, so the story pre-dates the release of the video game. So it’s a case of concurrent yet independent development rather than one being inspired by the other.
