Introduction:
The Eerie Chase consists of 1 player, 1 killer, different paths, and a map, the player must try to breakout before the assassin finds him, as he is on the hunt in the same maze.
Background:
The young boy went to a horror theme park with his friends during Halloween. They had spoken before hand how they wanted to do the maze next because they heard it was the best part!
Sam (main player) stopped to go to the toilet and his friends kept walking but then as he came out, they disappeared, people were running around screaming but he didn't take notice because it was a horror theme park after all. He then presumed they went to the maze entrance, so that's where he went...
As there was no que to get in, he then was beginning to get a bit curious and thought that his friends were joking with him and hiding to try and scare him. He went inside to see one of his friends lifeless on the floor covered in his own blood and that's when he knew he was in danger and his first instinct was RUN!
Genre:
The genre of this game is going to be a a horror as its set during Halloween and in a horror themed park.
Game Play:
When entering the home page of the game, it will play the background video,, so the audience understand the storyline of the game.
1.The player is going to run and will have obstacles in their way which they will have to jump over, if they miss a jump along the way, it could give them a wipe out and they will have to start the game again. Back to square 1!
2. There will be coins that the player will need to collect so they can unlock different things, eg speeds, clothes, different avatars etc.
3. There will be a timer of 60 seconds on the clock that the player will have in order to exit the maze
4. There will be a map on the side of the screen for the player to have a bit of help to try and find their way
5. All the paths will look the same, no colour cording as it will make it more difficult for the player to know if they have already chosen this path.
6. There will be daunting music playing as the player tries to complete the mission.
7. There will be a shadow type figure of the assassin in which will give the players a rush of adrenalin while trying to complete the maze.
Market Analysis:
Target Audience: The target audience for this game would definitely have to be unisex 16+ as it is a horror themed game with animations of dead bodies, so it would only be suitable for that age range.
Top Performers:
1. The first website which I looked at was on "Ranker" which displays the best maze games of all time Click here to see the article!
Platforms:
The platforms in which I would want this game to be available on are PC's and both Android and IOS devices.
From doing my own primary research by interviewing friends and family about the game , the outcomes were that people who play the PlayStation or Xbox wouldn't be interested in playing on a big screen with a controller, they would prefer a PC or on their phone/iPad
Hey Jade. Your game idea is really cool, it sounds like a different spin on the usual maze games. I like that there's a map for a bit of help because I know I'd panic playing that game otherwise. It could be cool if you added keys or something so that certain sections could be opened that normally you'd have to avoid in a maze because it's a dead end. It could just be something extra that gives people a boost but isn't necessary to complete the game if you're quick enough. I'm excited to see what else you come up with. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Jade, It's Aoibhe. Just had a read through your vision statement. Your game sounds brilliant.My game is also a maze game however mine is of a ball in a maze rather than a player. I like the idea that there will be daunting music playing I think this will add more to the game and make it more creepy. Good luck with your game! - Aoibhe
ReplyDeleteHi Jade, I just finished reading your vision statement. I think it's a really cool idea. I like the story of the game and the mechanics around it. I like the feature of the map which could help player but not too much. Are you going to add any jump-scares? I think it would be cool if the coins could unlock some power-ups like you can see the person chasing you on the map for a few seconds or you can slow down time. I hope your game turns out well and best of luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Jade, your game seems like a really cool idea, I’m doing a horror game too and I think this is the first other person I have seen doing a horror. I think your back story is also really cool and I think a backstory to horror can be important as it gives the player a better idea of what is going on. Best of luck with this game!
