Moosader board competition - Zombieless Survival Horror

Post by Moosader »

If anyone is interested, my board is going to have a game-dev competition from Dec 24th until Jan 31st.

Theme is "Zombieless Survival Horror", as survival horror was voted for, and I'm forcing creativity on everybody ;) (tired of zombie games. Come on, there are more things out there to survive from!)

What would you consider as Survival Horror?

Because, in my head, it is a rather ambiguous genre and there is not a distinct border between it and just horror or just survival.
I'll make your software hardware.

Horror-Grotesque-Dark themed
Survival-Stay alive, be it a house trying to consume you, or enemies attacking you... A regular horror could be puzzle, or less survival more objectivey etc. etc....

Trying to survive, with the risk of shitting your pants. :)

Resident Evil, Silent Hill, etc.

I'm also thinking of stuff like The White Chamber, 7 Days a Skeptic, and trying to think of some other games that have gotten some reaction out of me in one way or another. (I guess that would even include Space Quest 4...)
