Here's a short, sort-of, docs for my horror game idea, and I was planning on fleshing the story out first with a writer (paid or collab, either works). This is my first-time making a horror game, so I'm sort of still lost, as to how can I make this work. But if you have some ideas you want to add or pitch. Just drop them below.
For context, I did games before, mostly on 2D Puzzle-Platformers and one turn-based game JRPG. And I have a full-time job but I'm quite intrigued with the recent rise of indie horror games here on itch and Steam, so wanna take a plunge at it too.
