Hello,
I have been brainstorming to make a Survival Horror Game in Source.
I'll just translate the stuff I brainstormed about in here, tell me what you think!
If you would like to help me with this project, just message me, I would love some more help!
Take a look:
Brainstorm Source Horror Game
Concept
Type: Single player eastern horror (Paranoid feel, feel of isolation, ...)
Location: Abandoned orphanage for unstable children
Goal: Find your identity and seek help.
Protagonist: Unknown (processed within the game's goal)
Antagonist: Mentally ill psychopath that has some kind of history in the orphanage.
Plot: Protagonist wakes up from a self-torture and remembers nothing. He finds himself in the Abandoned orphanage and can't find an ID of himself. It immediately becomes clear that he is alone (or is he?) in the building. When he leaves the room he started in, he comes out in a hallway with multiple rooms. Throughout the game, he enters those rooms and comes across murders, tortures and straight up mindf---s. Every time he discovers something, he enters a certain trance. If he enters The Trance, he need to get the hell out of the location he is, otherwise he will blackout (Game Over). If he has been in a trance, he can't enter the same location anymore without again getting in trance (Maybe some kind of system that makes it so if you enter the same location again, The Trance time becomes shorter to Game Over). After a while in the game it becomes clear that there is/was some kind of psychopath there, and that his fate is already decided (or is it?).
Idea's atmosphere
Space
Color correction: Few colors (almost black and white), cold tints broken by few warm tints, high conrast
Textures and equipment: Orphanage, much inspired by this video clip of Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt
Sound: Industrial noises, monotone noise, ...
Visual effects: Lights that flicker, doors that open to a crack, ...
Tension
Sound: Children's laughter, children crying, cats screeching, ...
Visual effects: Flashes of full-screen images of punished children, screaming children, ... , shadows that dash away, ...
Idea's murders, tortures and mindf---s
The Bath Tub Torture
Location: Empty room with just a bath tub
Victim: Unknown
Situation: Person tied to a bath tub that is already full of blood. You can pick up a key from the victim's hand. Once you picked up the key, the body moves a bit and you enter The Trance. You can escape through 3 doors and the key only fits 1.
Found objects: Key
Reflection
Location: Toilets
Victim: Teacher
Situation: A teacher lays on shards of mirror. After interaction you move the body aside and you find a suicide note. After this, you enter The Trance. If you turn around, one of the toilets is opened and another body falls out.
Found objects: Key
