Hello DevForum,
I am currently in the early stages of building Wednesday’s Game of Misfortune — an asymmetric horror game on Roblox inspired by the world of Wednesday Addams. I am looking for passionate, skilled people to join the core team on a revenue share basis nothing more.
MAKE SURE TO READ THE FULL POST AND CONCEPT DOCUMENT BEFORE APPLYING IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS BEFORE APPLYING
───────────────────────────────────
WHAT IS THE GAME?
───────────────────────────────────
Villain vs. Outcast asymmetric horror. One Villain hunts a team of Outcasts across lore-driven maps pulled from the Wednesday universe. Outcasts must craft, lock pick, and work together to survive and escape. Villains serve The Being — an ancient supernatural entity accidentally summoned by Wednesday herself — by burying Outcasts in Graves scattered across the map.
The tone is dark, creepy, and atmospheric — faithful to the show’s gothic identity. Graphics are intended to be as realistic and horror-focused as the Roblox engine allows. This is not a casual game. It is meant to feel genuinely unsettling.
