yeah I totally agree. I personally have a better theme idea, "Real Events", just like fear to fathom, that gives a believable story, instead of exact real life serial killer or exact 1:1 case.

Nobody is speaking of a 1:1 creation of serial killers case. As the rules state, the game needs to be inspired by a real serial killer and the plot needs to feel plausible and real.

Though this has been constantly stated by Gunscreen in multiple posts in the community tab, check out the other posts for his detailed answer.

Thanks for your reply, I get what you mean. By the way, I have a personal question, if it’s okay to ask here: My game is inspired by a real life serial killer patterns and aims to tell a believable story, but unfortunately I started it with a male main character, whereas the real killer always targeted older women. Could that be a problem? Do you recommend to change/adjust it anyway?

Not at all - the cases do not need to match. Real life serial killer just means you need to choose an actual serial killer and can create a completly fictional plot. 

It just needs to feel real and plausible. Hope that helps! :D

Thanks for the reply! :D
I was a bit worried about it earlier.

And sorry for the misunderstanding with the theme, I was just a bit shocked when it announced. I think it's totally fine, the theme is pretty good.
