A storm traps a sailor on a deserted island. A different crew that has also been marooned on the same island but for much longer have gone insane and start killing the new crew one by one. Your job is to escape. Set it in the early 1600's. That just seems like a good time period for a ship to wreck on an island and no one to find them for years.

You play a dead private investigator trying to find your own killer.

You find other victims on the other side and ask them what they know.

Twist, along the way you find out he's a serial killer controlled by a legion of demons.

Tuesday, a spacewalk outside a space station. After whatever events you die. You wake up and have to relive Tuesday over and over, but can't seem to find a way to alter the course of events. Also someone or something is actually doing this to you on purpose.

Sort of like Groundhog Day in space except really depressing and this premise is even older.

I always thought a creepy thing for a horror game could be that enemies know where you are, and you periodically would get sort-of a premonition of the POV of a spooky ghost or something running towards the area you're in, and you have to work to constantly maintain distance from where you know they are as you do puzzles and shit

This. Panicking is scarier than spooky shit
>>
Scene:
> Your a cop. You've been on the force for only a few months, but you think you have a handle on the whole thing already. It's night.
> You and your partner get a call that a shut down factory is reporting loud strange sounds.
> You guys get out of the car and slowly approach, hearing strange noises. Strange lights and some shadows showing through windows that should be pitch black.
> Your partner takes the lead, since he is the more experienced, older officer that's been showing you the ropes. But he is a little over protective of you since he knew your father.
> He checks a door and sees it's unlocked, and makes the first move to go in before you.
> The door slams shut right after he goes in. You try to open the door but can't.
> Screams are heard on the other side and you hear what seams to be him being dragged off yelling telling you to call for back up and run.
> you try your radio, but it's dead.
> you retry the door... and it opens.

You are now in a boxed dark corridor setting with jump scares. Trying to figure out what the mystery is that is happening in this once abandoned factory. You go threw and find clues. Every so often you hear screams from your partner.

What is the mystery? Doesnt really matter. Pick something and go with it....

Maybe your partner is in on it? Maybe it's demonic? Maybe you're dead and the factory represents your mind trying to cope? Maybe it's just filled with crazy people filled with former asylum residents that were "miss placed" after it was shut down.And you are going to have to kill them all one by one, to get ur partner back "The Raid"/ "Dredd" style...

Your welcome, i just wrote your game.

You're in a coma and your memories of life are the only way out. They are deformed and you switch between piecing your life together to escape the coma (or death. Depends how you wanna end the game) and the reformed parts of your subconscious mixing your memories with false truth, illusion and whatever else mentally fucks with you that's not a jump scare. Make it something that people want to get connected with and feel engrossed by actually feeling the cringe of reliving their own horrible memories.

Good enough for you OP?

Opening scene: Out sailing with family and friends on brothers yacht. Massive storm, collide with a cruise ship in the dark. Character is knocked unconscious. You wake in a dark room on the cruise ship. Blood splatters the walls and the power is out. You search the ship for your family and friends, lots of scary shit happens cuz its a ghost ship where a Sirens Song drove everyone to madness and they all murdered each other. Sirens song is heard by your family and friends who you have to stop from killing each other in act 2. You arent effected because plot twist your character is deaf and all of the scares in the game are completely visual. Except for the silence. The silence might be the scariest thing of all.

A cool mechanic could be that you of course have a handgun, but you only have your realistic three magazines worth of rounds for the entire game (ie. 45 rounds for a Glock 22), you never get more. Plus with an actual magazine system, not some Battlefield ammo pool shit.

good idea, have other weapons that are makeshift, like bats, and pipes that you have to switch to save on ammo.

and other opportunities for more ammo, might be items dropped by ur partner as bread crumbs, and spread far apart are his magazines

For what it's worth, the scariest setting I could think of for myself would be something aquatic
Like a rusty shipwreck or old submarine or something
>>675578891
Yeah I get where they're going with that and it's better than the ammo pool shit, but it still really annoys me.
Why would I be dropping mags I've only fired a few rounds out of? Why can't I fucking tell how many mags I have left? The worst thing to me in hardcore is having no idea after a while how much ammo I have, like you can't just pat your pouches to feel how many are there
SWAT 4 is another great one that does that btw: do a bunch of tactical reloads and you start reloading the partially empty mags

whos waking up? every video game starts with you jumping into a character with no context.... and having context and exposition fed to you beforehand is almost the definition of bad writing in video games. unlocking and learning about the world around you as you go through a game is what makes it immersive. case in point bioshock. where you "wake up" as you put it in the water surrounded by fire.

and i agree suppernature and magic are lame. which is why i gave one actual good plot possibility at the end after i almost threw up in my mouth writing the previous ones.

I always thought it'd be cool to make a game based in schizophrenia where you think you're killing monsters trying to piece back memories and play as different characters but the memory piecing eventually turns out to be brain restructuring showing the span of mental health and eventually brining you back through things showing you everything you tried to save in the game being you actually killing everybody that you developed close bonds to in the game. The ending could wind up where you find a whole hearted person with everything he could've wanted in life, especially your own, and after killing him it shows the situation panning through the schizophrenia ad you actually committing suicide and taking away everything you've ever wanted

The horrors of adult hood. You start off looking at a screen, screen jas this very tgread. Your character has colorful anime posters on the wall. Tutorial:walk to fridge, open it, eat combine x ingredient with x to make salad, eat salad. Go back to deak. Look at picture of girl on desk. Get up. Walk to door. As you open the door you hear something behind you. Then go on. The game woll be about how an anon cant get over his social anxiety and is trapped in his apartment because of how scared he os of talking to people

That, with a few alterations could actually be fucking sweet. Maybe give the option of having no sound and maybe even in black and white... All optional tho. It'd give it fucking awsome contrast and replay value... Especially if black and white and soundless mode was extra hard as shit. In my opinion.

> You are a lone guy in a calm neighbourhood, you mingle with the people and chat with them daily
> You start noticing that people start getting scared of the new guys moving in the adjacent area
> The new people are of african american descent, the character instantly gets on high alert, he wants to protect the neighbourhood
> This black guy starts talking shit and throwing mad stares to the main character
> After a lot of inner struggles, the character arms himself with great amounts of courage and starts following the black hooligan
> He is scared of said individual, thinking about the safety of his people, he takes matters into his own hands
> He decides to shoot said black guy after a brief exchange of words and physical struggle
> The game starts, you get to customize the physical appearence of the character and the name gets set by default, George Zimmerman

You wake up in a dimly lit room. A light flickers off in the distance. As you approach you realized you walk into a small, square room with four doors. One behind you and one in each cardinal direction. One of the doors is locked shut... Each room you walk into, all open doors shut, and all shut doors open.

After some wandering, you realize that you are in a 10x10 grid of rooms. Find the exit... There is no exit.

Throw in some psychological horror elements, but no real threat.
