I’m working on a new game called Urban nightmares. I know how to make an intro cutscene, but don’t know what to make it. The game is about a cryptid called the ‘happy ghost’ that is going around and knocking everyone out (As in the Gimkit term for K!ll). IT WILL BE AGE APPROPRIATE. I just need an idea to introduce the monster. The first cutscene is a dream, that turns out to be real. Originally, it was the ghost knocking another gim out with a quantum portal, but I decided that wasn’t good enough. Thanks!
You can use animation for cutscenes, and some ideas for cutscenes are maybe some jumpscares or something scary at random or as transitions, because “Urban Nightmares” seems like a horror game.

I just use a camera point, text bubbles, and animation. I’m trying to avoid jumpscares, due to lore later in the game.
Mmm, but maybe you can add some nightmares that aren’t severe.

Sorry, I forgot to clarify this game doesn’t take place in a dream. The first cutscenes is one. The ‘Nightmare’ aspect is just part of the name, and for lore later in the game.
Mmm, maybe add like the world before the happy ghost as a dream?
Like, in the game? Right after the cutscene you are in a room next to your bed, and you say “Wow. That was a weird dream.”
Yeah, or maybe you can make the dream Happy Ghost lore, and they wouldn’t understand and they’d call it weird because they didn’t know the origination of Happy Ghost.
You don’t know about the happy ghost in the cutscenes. You learn about it later when it ‘attacks’ you in an alley.
Mm, then maybe give some sort of reference to it, or what happens further in the game that is unknown to the player, so it makes sense that the dream is weird.
The point of the game is to be confused. It’s meant to make you the main character of one of those stories where they spend the whole time searching for answers. I need something that’s confusing at the time, but makes sense once you learn what the ghost is.
Maybe make the dream/cutscene people dying to an unseen force, and then later it will make sense it was the Happy Ghost because ghosts are invisible.
In a dark alley stands a gim…
and then a sudden transition to black.
On a TV on the news…
“SUDDEN D3ATH - GIM FOUND IN DARK ALLEY NEAR FISHTOPIA MARKET DECEASED OUT OF NOWHERE”
“The police could not identify the gim, the gim had no scars and no sign of a cardiac arrest. Gims are speculating aliens, Others speculate a ghost.”
game starts
