perhaps a walking simulator² mode where i dont try to make the player paranoid and instead give them a radio to vibe with as the

make it multiplayer but with no man's sky level of world size

that would be interesting

my idea is to procedurally generate the halls in a grid around the player instead of making a million square mile map

just so its infinite

and ive also thought of adding a one in ten or so chance of noclipping through a wall if you sprint through it

Dew it

Add like a FEW random enemies that hunt you down slowly

one. only one. the idea is that i'll mess with the player for hours, a slight noise here, a change of furniture or layout there
really build it up
you're being stalked, or are you?

a small flit of a shadow around the corner after a lot of playtime that you could swear you saw but just as easily believe you imagined it

Make it rarely hurt you

it never will. until like WAY late in the game probably

Ah ok

though i cant just let the player think they're safe
hm
how do i make it seem dangerous without the player seeing it, understanding it, knowing what it is?

Make it whisper scary shit to the player

hm

as they wander*

title messed up
