Ideas Guy - Past Darkness
6 years ago
Ideas Guy is going to me posting any game ideas I've had (within reason), mainly because I think it's fun, but also to gauge interest.
Today's post is the game "Past Darkness".
I got the idea when watching a
Tierafoxglove stream. She was watching an Eternal Darkness let's play, and we (Tiera and the chat) got talking about why there never any sequels or any copy cats.
There is a myth that Nintendo owns the copyright to sanity meter/bar, but I find that hard to believe as other games like Amnesia and Call of Cthulhu have used sanity meters.
Since then, I started thinking of ideas for a knock off game. There's lots of fun to be had with the insanity effects these days. Fake micro transactions and dashboard overlays spring to mind.
The rest of the game would be a clone of Eturnal Darkness, albeit looking more like the cancelled N64 version that the GameCube game everybody knows. The plot would involve a bunch of characters over a span of time. About 120 years from the late 1800s/early 1900s to now, and be limited to a small area that changes over time. This can be small changes like signs and vehicles, too layouts of levels and even entire areas being replaced.
