So, in this game, you play as a 12-year old boy/girl who has a nightmare and wakes up and he thinks he sees something move in his closet. Well, being twelve, he/she decides its nothing, that they just imagined it. But, it seemed so real, that he/she goes to the closet to make sure. As it turns out, they DID see something, and they were teleported through the closet and in to a different dimension. But, this isn't like "Narnia", as this is NOT a friendly dimension. they see horrific monsters trying to kill them, and the only hope they have is to find the closet door in this dimension and get out. This game features some fun gameplay by using things like:
- A interacting tool that let's you click on almost anything in the environment to find clues, or to just read about things.
- Different monsters
- No flashlight, so keep your wits about you for where you choose to go
- Semi-realistic scenery
- A forest
- A office
- A bedroom
- Way more scenery so I won't say it all lol
- A plot
- Unique storyline
- And more to come!
Also, if you have a better name idea, please post!

Nice idea, I suggest making the maps randomly spawn in a random patern, and take a look at Creepypasta's for some ideas... Plenty of wildlife killer plants in there.

Idk why, but the story reminds me of "The Rake".

Nice idea, I will make that in the future if my game is nice. Also, using Creepypasta ideas will be fun. =3

The storyline seems dull and not-so-scary.

If you're going to use lame pop-up scares it just might scare a few five year olds, but I see no suspense here.

No, the only Pop-up will be when you die the death screen, I have just seen that in a lot of horror games. Also, I see what you mean by it being dull, but, I have some tricks up my sleeve that might work, like, I will have a nice music track, to put in an atmosphere, and, as for the end, I will add a ending that will be eerie, scary, and suspenseful. If you have any ideas of things that will make it scarier, post!

look for some creepypasta that deals will killer plants.. And add something like that..
ALso, make the maps randomized.. Ya know, to keep things interesting.

Also FP lock maybe?

I have a FP lock, and, by randomized, do you mean that it keeps changing? All of that extra stuff like that, will come later in the game.

No I mean, every player gets his/her own map, it will randomize only once, when they die it will be deleted and a newly spawned but randomized map will spawn.

Ah, problem is, the map is big, so do you mean TOTALLY different? Like, one player gets a forest, the other gets a castle, etc?

Nice idea for the game! Loved to try it out! Just add cutscenes and all that stuff! Looks awesmome! Not hate comment but add dymatic lightning and cover the room to make it seem horror! Love the idea

Thanks! My plan is to have a storymode and just a escape mode, I am doing storymode first. Also, I have dynamic lighting, and the room will be dark, but I will probably have some sort of eerie light coming from the closet. Also, I have a main menu! It will have the latest updates, the story, and the play button. Also, taking AI suggestions!

Vote! Should there be multiple monsters that your surviving, or just one guy whose invisible and hurts you by knocking things down and setting traps? I think traps, but that's my opinion, since that would be more surprising.

I think you should add 2 Monsters, one is invisible and sets traps and 1 is the scarier one.

This seems interesting, I'd love to try it.

Also maybe you could call it "Skeleton in the Closet", cause a "skeleton in the closet" basically describes a dark and shocking secret.

Well, I like your idea, but one of the things that makes me click on Horror games is the title. Say, if a game is called: There's a monster under your bed! It describes to much of the game in that one sentence. Instead, if you name it, say: Deception people wonder WHY its called that, its like a dark and secretive name. Also, I love the idea of having to monsters! That would be awesome, since that way, you can be freaked out by randomly moving things, or by a monster! It would start to become less scary as you know: Oh, traps, not that bad or Oh, this monster is getting not that scary.. Now, it'ill be interesting!
