I Would Play This Game - Tumblr Posts

1 year ago

I have this idea for a survival horror game that's a crossover of characters from various works of gothic literature that are suddenly trapped together in a realm that's like an infinite forest with everlasting night. The gameplay would be sorta Until Dawn-esque. The objective of the game is that the characters start out in seperate groups and add more to their parties until they all come together to try to escape this realm and go back to their original 'stories'. The villains from these respective stories are also there, and the player must survive every encounter with them. The narrative would have a shifting character point-of-view with the player character changing every chapter. There will also be several diary entries from various characters scattered throughout that must be collected and read in order to peice the story together. Player characters and groups I've thought of:

Jane Eyre and Mina Harker

Christine Daee and Adam (The Creature)

Victor Frankenstein, Jack Seward, and Henry Jekyll

Heathcliff and Dorian Grey

Gabriel Utterson and Jonathan Harker

Ichabod Crane and Quincey Morris

Lucy Westenra and Laura

The characters' personalities and backstories would be book-accurate of course. No Hollywood influence here. I may expand on this idea more later...
