That haunted game thing is such a fucking good idea. And the new silent hill just looks brilliant. Anything like them would be perfect.
Haven't really thought about it yet, so I'm just writing whatever's coming to my head while I type this...definitely the first thing to think about is the setting
the other thing is maybe like the character you play as? im not sure why it sprang to mind, but what if you play as an old guy who has to hobble along on a walking stick? then again, i laughed just now imagining that, getting chased by something and you're limping away...
he could have some sort of oddness about him though? like has an itch you have to keep scratching, or something like that, maybe even just some total fuck up problem like a extreme phobia of mirrors and having to hide from them, or talks to himself in a really demented way, i dunno...i havent thought on it atall, reading it now all those ideas seem like they'd either be hilarious or impossible to programme in a way that makes them not hilarious.
Terms of setting, just gonna chuck out as many non-cliche ones as i can think of on the spot now
a tunnel on a train track
sewers
ship at sea
bakery
field full of those big storage things i cant rememebr the name of...giant cuboid metal shaped things
deserted village in broad daylight, ed edd and eddy style
just a long stretch of road where you keep having to hitch hike in the back of different people's cars (that could be alot like 'the theatre' creepy pasta, except you have conversations with the backs of different people's heads)
swimming pool/gym
indoor tennis courts
golf course
golden gate bridge, or something similar
bus station, could be looking on all the buses for something you left on one of them
empty zoo
park
recording studio
just a plain old elevator or staircase
village in a snowstorm

Dude... Fucking awesome ideas!!!!  The hitchhiker idea is brilliant and I like the idea that the player has a more indepth personality! I also like the claustrophobic location ideas! Such as the Tunnel, Sewer! Maybe something like a dissused office? OR EVEN a working office?? at night on a late shift? Either somewhere where a person could end up alone in reality or a surreal, dreamlike experience? Ahhh man good start! Just need to refine down now  |

Could even have some random element to the game to make it seem possessed or haunted? Giving odd, unique expieriencs?

I did do some work on a game a while ago where you play as a person in bed having Sleep Paralasis xD There would be hallucinations happen in the room   |

Surreal game here that I was working on, wanted to make a game like the Theater one and this is what I ended up with  |

both those games look horrific. Graphics like that is fucking perfect!! I'm liking the surreal dreamlike experience thing. The more surreal the game, the better. Also, it makes it more difficult for the player to be able to guess what's gonna happen. So much fucking gold in this thread already!!! Might be a bad idea to blend ideas too much but what about like the hitch hiker thing, except you go to sleep in the back of the car after abit (i dunno, long journey, or you drunk too much or something) and it dips in and out of dreams, maybe you wake up a couple of times and talk to the back of the driver's head abit? that'd be like the relief from real tense bits. like you have all these mental horrific dreams, but you wake up each time just before the worst part. Then the person playing would be like "ahh, one time he's not gonna wake up" trying to guess which time, except he does wake up, only to have sleep paralysis and then some real fucking messed up shit goes down. And it's made even worse, cos the player is like "thank fuck, a break from the nightmares...wait....wtf, this isnt right?" Or maybe theatre style, each time he wakes up there's something just a little bit odd? I'm not sure on this though, something about it seems like trying to cram too much in, so depends on what you think? a disused office also sounds damn cool, maybe there's some backstory there. he had some job in an office once where something happened and he quit, and his dreams are plagued by thoughts of it. Maybe he has dreams in these working offices, where he's just trying to do his ordinary job, but everything is increasingly getting fucked up? been wathcing sopranos recently and they have weird dream sequences in alot of the episodes and it just kinda reminded me of them. Like, obviously something a lot scarier and less funny but you know. Found a clip of a bit of them on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8hUcqtRNWs |

hmmm... not sure. Black is probably more creepy cos its harder to see, but white fog is something more different... I'd probably still say back though
