I keep making posts for horror games but the game is never good someone give me an idea

Creating a horror-themed Gimkit game can be an exciting challenge!
Here are some ideas!

1. Haunted School Escape

  • Story: Players are trapped in a haunted school and must answer questions to unlock doors and escape.
  • Gameplay Mechanics:
    • Divide the game into “rooms” (levels). Each room has different challenges, like: defeat the ghostly teacher, or answer a few questions before a certain entity arrives.
    • Introduce a timer or “chase” mechanic where a ghost “gets closer” if players answer incorrectly.
    • Incorporate power-ups like “Flashlight” (reveals an answer hint) or “Key” (skips a question).

2. Abandoned Manor

  • Story: Players explore an abandoned manor seeing how long they can survive in it, collecting artifacts by answering themed questions, talking to people, or defeating enemies, like ghosts.
  • Gameplay Mechanics:
  • Introduce special rewards for completing collections (e.g., bonus points or protection).

3. Lights Out

  • Story: There is a maze where players have to escape by using clues around them and dodging enemies, occasionally being surprised with “lights out” event.

I had suspicions on this being AI but…

Horror, if anything, you need monsters or weird creatures and jump scares. I guess for jump scares it would be a dark blank screen and then a picture of something creepy with flashing lights?

But then again, you’ll have to try to make it playable by 6 yo.

…reading back your post @bendyandink, you don’t spam posts just because they’re not getting attention :confused:. Give them time, wait overnight, people will respond. If you keep posting the same topic you might be flagged for spamming.

My Suggestion

Not to be rude or anything, but try thinking of your own ideas if other people’s ideas aren’t working for you. A good way to to this would be to invent your own horror game instead of making a remake of a preexisting one.

I mean I have one but its a FNAF fan game from scratch so not doing that…

No, like entirely original. Not a fan game.
SIGH

I just remembered a book I’m working on that might work

14

that is why I said not doing that

What I’m saying is: Be creative! Express your ideas!
make something original!

ok um description of the monster is a tall slender creature with a pumpkin head(not its true form, its controlling a scarecrow)with a black body, eyes and mouth glowing purple and its mouth can open wide that to scary of good enough?
