What's our project?

We'd like to work on a 2D point and click mystery game. The game is played in the perspective of a detective. While playing you have to solve different cases with a very dark atmosphere. The game is created in a pixel style and the music is selfmade. Please note the following list of things the game must have, should have and could have.

Target groups

With our game we'll try to target cosmic horror fans and point-and-click adventure gamers.

Must have	Should have	Could Have
A playable short story	More than one short story	Multiple stories with character progression
Two different endings	Interactive combat system	Custom story editor
Original art and music	Custom color palette	Multiple-choice storylines
AI influences the story		Customizable characters
AI generated voices included

Features compared to other games

we couldn't find any other point and click adventure game with such a style. The fighting system changes the story and the probabilities for decision concerning events. This adds the opportunity to have an impact on the storyline and changes the chance to win.

Resolution for the pixel art

2048x2048 (not the final decision yet) for better details (take a look at the references like the World of Horror one).

What would a happy user sound like?

"The game really captures the atmosphere!" "I feel fully immersed in the story." "My decisions actually matter and influence the outcome."
