I need ideas for my game named “Nyctophobia”, it’s a horror game, and I don’t know what the setting, theme, concept, lore, monsters, or characters, are gonna be.
Now of course, I am gonna do some myself, because it is unfair for you guys to do all the work for me, but please help me with ideas
(Also I will probably respond to most of the post on this post tomorrow)
Setting: in a dark room
Theme: survival (like Fnaf theme)
Concept:boy survives from monsters in the dark
Lore: a boy is having troubles sleeping because he has nyctophobia
Monsters: scariest looking ones on gimkit
Character: whoever player decides to be
Setting: A ghost town
Gameplay: A puzzle/survival game where you solve the puzzles during the day, causing drastic changes at night
Monsters: None, uses entirely psychological horror.
Lore: You go out urbexing with your friends in a suburban town. Right as you enter the basement of one house, the power cuts for the town, and your friends disappear. The power cutting is the cause for “nighttime.”
Goal: To escape the town, either with your friends (Good Ending), or without them (Bad Ending).
Character: Ralph McConnor
scared of the dark so maybe a abandoned building the player wakes up in like a hotel? not that many horror games in a hotel…shadow monsters maybe and main character called Leon,whos family owned the hotel until people started going missing from there rooms always being found ded in room 13,which no one stayed in
Setting: Dark forest like area
Theme: Survival
Concept: Two friends find their way out of this place
Lore: Two great friends stumble upon a path that looks freaky. These friends wanted to explore the woods and later found themselves lost, and in need of a place to stay. One gim wants to check it out, one does not. The gim urges the other gim, and soon enough they find themselves approaching this big hotel, with many rooms to search. They get forced to enter, and soon they find themselves in the middle with only dim lights to guide them.
Monsters: Depends on the level of horror.
Character: Whoever the player picks to be
Just my ideas ¯_(ツ)_/¯
RPG. Willow (PC) wakes up in what seems to be a cave. The cave is covered in an icky black substance (Ancient Goo), and the player has to Sunshine-style clean it all off, to reveal a well-lit mineshaft. But beware the Creature of the Depths… The Ancient Wyrm!
(Yes, this is partially based off the Deep Dark :P)
There could be a tutorial level before, where Willow is in her house, and her mother tells her to clean off their car before going to bed. The car is just covered in a light brown barrier. Her mother gives her the SoLution INk Shot (SLINgShot), and tells her to fire it at the car so it gets cleaned.
