Indie Idea for a horror game.

[happymasksalesman]

With no introduction let me begin!(*After a lot of bad thread lately*) I think it will work!
Think you are in a game development team for a horror game.(you can explain the game by yourself no specific topic or stuffs) you want to make it really scary and DONT MAKE IT A SAME GAME LIKE OTHERS.
So what will you Say?
Note: you can say your reference for idea too!
Have great day like me!

The game starts in a classroom but students keep disappearing each month nobody knows why. The player has a "friend" with a key, that key is a tool able to send people to hell but only you and your "friend" knows that

The objective is to always try to be at his good side, while collecting enough evidence to convince the police, so your friend would be sent to jail. But if you fail to collect enough evidence and still try to convince the police. It will result in a game over since your "friend" found out about it and immediately sent you to hell.

I got this idea from Asura's verdict. a really cool manga thats worth checking out

"People come here with different reasons. Sins, feel guilty, someone's don't even know the reason.but all of them will have same fate. Get kill here over and over again. Like a unending nightmare, so my friend...what will you do? Try to run away? Swim in see? Scream and beg for mercy? Do you really thing they will work? Hehe hehe these works haven't worked until now....try it...try to escape" the man in the head of dark see. You and some other people stuck on boat with him. He tell some stories, read some poem to you and you have to find what he mean. All the place feeled with darkness and only light is a lantern near him. Show his burned face.
If player manage to solve all the puzzles and survive danger in the sea in end they reach a island and get down from the boat. They will awake from nightmare after a while.
refrence: silent hill rooms and one of my old stories about boat man.

Mascot horror game WITHOUT the horror. like the mascots are still sentient/possessed by dead people, but instead of trying to kill you, they're just lonely and want to be friends.

Vargskelethor Joel is that you?

no I did not slay Euronymous n make synth albums from prison serving Norwegian max sentence of 21 yrs just to get released with no fanfare n come back to utter irrelevancy

Edit: nor am I He-Man's hilarious archfoe or the Norse thunder-god or THE PIANO MAN

My idea for a horror game is a sequel to Eternal Darkness

 

[happymasksalesman]

OYASUMI~NA SAI!!!"

Well I can say it is really scary like "itadakimas" in undertake comics.
Anyway whole story like this " you gonna have bad time with tin air"
I like the idea.

I don't know eternal darkness. What kind of sequel?

I think a game where you need to stop time to get past certain sections would be fun. Except while time is stopped, there’s something hunting you down that you have to avoid.

Remind me fnaf ruin where you should escape from reality and entity both and remind me max pain series.

I like this idea. for some reason it makes me think of Holhorse's creepy time-stopped avatar/familiar in Jojo's

 

[Pseudo64]

Idea - a goth girl has to kiss a thousand corpses in order to defeat the zombie of a unicorn from outer space...from an alternate dimension, where noodles are called Raviolli, and raviollis are called pizza, pizzas are called Train Stations, and train stations are called Noodles.
Also, she regenerates her health by slashing her lips, pouring the pouring blood from her lips in with a martini, then feeding it to the disembodied head of a dog-sheep hybrid called "George".

Oh almost forgot, the game would be a survival horror real time strategy simulation action dungeon crawler open world game exclusive to Nokia mobiles.

 

[happymasksalesman]

(*me remember snake and some platform game on nokia*) okay okay it is really horror one I can say. Well can you tell me reference?
I still play some games on Nokia and I sure there wasn't much horror game on it. So can be a something like flash games looking they made for kids but they have a lot of horror things.

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Idea: game where you play as a schizophrneic

Did anyone read this I think I should stop merging my post.

Basics:
>3rd person
>fixed camera angles
>pre-rendered backgrounds
>tank controls
>plays like Resident Evil 1, 2, 3, CV and 0 but with crouching added as a mechanic
>crouch before getting hit to do a dodge like in Resident Evil 3
>clothing damage

Technicals:
>incorporate the same techniques in lighting as Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare >bodies stay in the same spot like in Silent Hill 3
>opening doors switches to a close up of the character opening the door, like in Fatal Frame 1,2 and 3
>there are several game over scenes, all are FMV and in the same style as House of Velez

Premise:
>main character is a mute girl
>set in the early 90s, on the way to visit parent's grave to pay respects
>gets caught in a chase for her life and flees to an abandond house
>enemies range from zombies, shadow people, shape shifters, possesed people
>not all enemies are affected by gun fire, some may even pass through walls

Why I think it can be scary:
>player is completely isolated
>no friendly NPCs
>backgrounds and environments swing back and forth to themes of normalcy and how you can never go back to it
>family photos, dreams and aspirations, everyday life
>clashing with blood stains, people in photos now dead bodies
>no concrete explanation of cause, viruses, evil plants, religion, these all follow a certain mindset, and provide an explaination to evil and a solution to combat it, the game needs to strip this from the player, leave them in the dark, always guessing how causality works at all in the world

I was thinking about a dating sim, but you play as a tapeworm.

I don't know eternal darkness. What kind of sequel?

Hah I initially meant this smugly, just that I want a sequel to Eternal Darkness badly, but I like that thought challenge.
Eternal Darkness is a survival horror game published by Nintendo in 2002. Planned as the first in a trilogy, it stars Alex Roivas, who, in visiting her grandfather's murder site finds herself ensnared in a millennia-spanning war between humanity and the dying eldritch god Mantarok. In the game you play several chapters, each taking place in a different era following the Roivas bloodline. You play all her ancestors and those who helped them. It's also known for these wild fourth-wall-breaking sanity effects where, for example the game turns your TV off or kills your character mid-battle.

In my sequel, after

Spoiler

Mantarok is laid to rest at the end of the first game

a power vacuum in the order of celestial gods opens up, and said gods bare avatars who join the world of man, posing as messiahs of new religions surrounding each different god to gain followers and curry power. The story here would take place in a fixed time, as Alex or perhaps her own successor journey across a large open map, visiting different peoples in and around these cults. We'd see a whole spectrum of effects, from ardent supporters to those who've lost families and lives to these factions. The game would end with the Roivas in question rallying the people of earth against these gods and unifying man for its own destiny, whatever it may be. This sort-of ambiguous ending leads into a finale to the trilogy that takes place almost-entirely in that Necronomicon-astral plane realm from the first game, mostly involving inconceivable entities.

That's my fanfic, anyway.
