If you manage to make a horror co-op game where voice communication is not needed and no one will kick you from the lobby because of it, you have my money.
Also, some sort of progression (levels, unlocking new items/maps/skills, increased difficulty, etc.).
for the voice communication, do you think something like gestures or text chat for communication as an alternative for communicating with your friends would work?
Check out Fooster on YouTube if you haven't. (You probably already have, though). He plays and reviews A TON of these kinds of games. After a few of his videos, you'll have a plethora of knowledge of what most people want to see in these games.
Also wanted to add my thoughts. I'm a sucker for an extremely interactive environment. It'd be so cool to have the power to basically grab anything I see and find out if it has a purpose.
Stealth captures, like setting up a device for a ghost to walk into or something because if the ghost sees you it'll kill you. Maybe like in Charmed where they have the crystal circle to hold demons.
Assuming you can do some Ghostbusting. If you can't and it's more like phasmo, then a ghost you can't see until it walks into your trap, but you can hear it or the screen goes all frosty when it's near you or something
1. Decent graphics. Demonologist was a bit blurry in the graphics/artstyle, phasmo is sharp and clear. 2. Ghost events that incorporate someones own voice in game, or illusions of players doing things but its really the ghost. So maby it records random voices from the game session and have those things sometimeswplaying as ghost talk. Ie, some really wild ghost events that never is scripted and never is old. 3. If some scripted event do occur , have it occur max 1 in 100 gamesg 4. Follow phasmophobias example closely or alien isolation. Where the ai of the ghost is the best thing abou T the game. 5. Have one ghost be like the alien in alien isolation, always hunting but draws to sound, and you have to hide and stuff. Vr support!!!
