If you will make this, add a story, more, jump scares (take inspiration from Alien: Isolation)

Imjust don’t want to spend time and effort on a game just to see it fail, s’all. Would you play an escape room game? It’s easier for me to make

Like, the movie, but with my own twist to it, with sernatural lore and so on. Kind of a puzzle and horror type game

I’m not exactly sure if the question is “What are some ideas that can be executed without any effort and gain popularity?” or “What are some ideas that are simple at core, but can be improved upon greatly with the right execution?”.

If it’s the former: Look at current trends, make a game based on those trends, advertise it, be lucky, pray that the game doesn’t die in the first 2 days. That’s it really, I don’t have much else to say.

If it’s the latter, then there are quite a few answers I can give. One thing that comes to my mind immediately is the Tycoon genre. It’s really simple at core (Pretty much just 3D cookie clicker), but there are so many game mechanics and other things you can add that can give it much more depth and make it more enjoyable (Free dropper placing, trading, PVP, etc… Not the best examples but I hope you get my point). So just take any simple genre and experiement with it!
