Im working solo and i have some experience(3+ years in studio), which enough to create a story game(I think). But i cant finish any project like this because i feel bad when working + i have very strong trigger because i had really bad experience with it. But desire to create something never disappear. I think on an idea for it now and im trying to get rid of perfectionism and other problems. What can i do?

I have few ideas i wrote but i dont really like them. Its like: “There was a boy who had his brother but bro disappeared and this boy is trying to find him through psychological things idk”.

I will be glad to see some tips!

No monster or anything is hunting down the player. It sure is funny seeing people panicking over nothing

Do fancy work with sound effects, cues, and signs telling “there’s something” in the dark

yea, you have to play with the player mental, not necessarily fear
