the clues you pick up are all photos or vhs tape home movies of a family living a really, really comfortable lifestyle the nostalgia of it being set in the past or the spooky “what happened” feeling is offset by the fact this suburban home has as much square footage inside as a walmart

I'm going to make a map that is the inside of a house but I'm not going to look at any pictures of floorplans or even the inside of my own house to have any idea of how wide a typical hallway is or how large rooms should be or what furniture typically goes in what room, feeling confident enough to just wing it.

The people who owned this house were reasonably rich, so everywhere looks like the inside of Trump tower.

Just realized I could save a ton of development time if instead of having the player click the doors to open them I just put them on a hinge and the player can use their body to push the doors open.

You wake up in an abandoned skate park that goes on forever. There are bikes, skateboards and rollerblades lying around all over. Somewhere out there is an evil clown with a sniper rifle that will start shooting at you if you don't constantly keep him entertained with sick stunts.

Haven’t figured out the details of the story yet but the twist at the end is that the player killed his family and all the letters and news clippings I put in the game are actually about the player. Think it will really blow some minds.

I’m going to put several newspaper stories in the game but I don’t think it’s necessary to look at what real newspapers look like or study how news is actually reported. This stock newspaper image should be convincing enough and I assume the news only uses people’s first names.

The clown isn’t really evil he’s just misunderstood, and the reason he’s chasing you around is that he’s trying to tell you your whole family is dead.

Your in a seemingly endless library at night and you need to find the 10 characters in the evil clown's true name* in random library books to banish them before they catch you. You can tell the books that will have one of the letter as they are RED! (there are also other red books that don't have letters, but we wanted to keep all the books only one of the primary colors as it makes it a lot easy to copy and paste the books onto all the shelves, we wanted to be realistic and as libraries have about 100'000 books usually, that seemed the only way to do that. It does make the game pretty hard. I don't think anyones beaten it yet, but games were meant to be hard! *(the evil clown's true name is evil clown (space is one of one of the characters!)).

Coulrophobia You and your friends play cooperatively investigating haunted locations for signs of evil clowns. Fright as whoopie cushions echo down a dark hallway. Startle as the houseplant on the table suddenly squirts you with water. Feel the tickle of dread as you open an ordinary closet and realize the shoes inside are comically too large. One player must spend the entire session in a game menu trying to figure out what kind of clown is haunting the building based on clues gathered by their friends who are actually able to play the game. Investigate notes left around the building to discover the clown’s name, and chant it incessantly as you try to get the games audio detection to register that you have said “Pringles the Clown” three times in front of the bathroom mirror on the third floor in order to make him appear.

Our Discord community and kickstarter supporters keep demanding we make Arlecchino sexier. Should we stick to our artistic vision, give the fans what they want, or make it a DLC?

I already made a full nude version with various sex animations and outfits in my free time that's in the game files. Sounds like DLC to me.

It's procedurally generated so really it has infinite replay value. You never know what configuration it's going to slap together the three prefab rooms I've made!

The game requires $5 to continue past the first level due to an unkillable monster that requires a $5 item to kill.

I really need something that will make my haunted house game stand out. I think having it be a really large skyrim sized map. I've checked and I think I should be able to strech all the corridors out really far, so I think if I use maybe two dozen corridors I can call it a 30 hr game. Then all I need to put some batteries scattered about for the five minute flash light and an evil clown and done!

Everyone you kill speaks as a human but is a demon. The game revolves around killing the most menacing demons. But they slowly becomes more human. Eventually you face the final boss which is actually yourself. The game ends with a $5 full page Wikipedia donation jump scare

You play as Adolf Hitler and you awaken to find yourself locked and chained up in a dungeon. All around you can see various implements of torture. The object of the game is to survive the various tortures the player goes through. From having their nipples tweaked to being whipped while you have a ball gag in your mouth. Can Hitler survive this nightmare?

Your on one end of a sea saw resting over a void, an evil clown is on the other. In the middle of the seesaw is the exit door. If the seasaw goes to far from horizontal you'll fall off. You see If you go for the exit door faster than the evil clown goes towards you, it will overbalance and you both fall. if you go at the same speed you'll get there at the same time, to slow you fall. I'll call the game "war games" cos I don't think anyone else will get this reference, but as I watch a lot of obscure 80's classic films. at the end of the film the main character is like "you can only win if you do not play". This game is the same. You can't win. You can just not play. Hmmm, maybe the references is too obscure. I really don't think anyone else will get it. Yeah think I'll have to simplify it for people who don't have such vast cinematic tastes as me. Yeah' I'll just go with "Wargame: you can only win if you don't play". Then the title will be like education as I'll be like passing on my great knowledge of that lost classic.

Don't worry about balancing anything. If players die constantly, that's just classic roguelike elements at work.
