Horror game idea (Team Needed) :D

Me and my team thought of a Horror Game Idea:

Okay, we’ll be honest, everything about this game is downright freaky. It’s apparently based on an old Pagan ritual that was used to punish lawbreakers. Now, the truthfulness of that tale is wishy-washy, but, no matter what, it definitely sounds like a more terrifying punishment than being sent to prison.

So here’s what’s involved: You write your full name—yes, including your middle name—on a piece of paper and place it in front of a wooden door. Then, light a candle and place it on top of the paper. Wait until just before midnight and then knock on the door 22 times, timing it so your final knock happens exactly at the stroke of midnight. Then blow out the candle and open the door.

What happens next in this scariest of scary games? You’ve just unleashed the Midnight Man into the world, some sort of supernatural creature that’s going to be hunting you for the next three and a half hours. Yeah that’s right, hunting. You have to walk around your dark house with a candle until 3:33 a.m. (that’s when the Midnight Man disappears) and try not to be caught. If your candle blows out, that means it’s close. If you can’t get it relit, you have to surround yourself with salt. If you don’t get the salt shaker in time, the Midnight Man finds you and… well, it’s unclear what happens then (we’ve never met someone who’s let that happen), but we sure don’t want to find out.

I think this is a pretty good idea whatsoever

Thats against the ToS, unless you mean the Player’s username.

My best advice if you’re making a horror game and want the best results for it is to make it multiplayer. Sadly, even the well made singleplayer games don’t make it very far.

Oh yes its gonna be a single player version with the monster AI and a multiplayer version with another player being the AI :smiley:

How can a player be an AI? What do you mean?

I mean that the player will control when to attack where its placement is and when to do the sound effects
