I feel like horror games need goofy spin-offs, especially ones that go into lore building. Like, I enjoy your characters so much, yet I only get like 5 minutes to see them before they are brutally shot and gutted open by a creature beyond comprehension. If I ever make a horror game in the future, best expect a side game attached to it where everyone is living happy lives and going out and eating ice cream, or worrying about what they'll wear for the school dance, or even worrying about if they left the oven on before trying to go shoe shopping.
For example, doki doki literature club. Sure, we got side stories in ddlc +, BUT THE CHARACTERS ARE SO GOOD, WDYM I GET MAYBE 20 MINUTES TO ENJOY THEM BEFORE IT GETS DEPRESSING. LET ME SEE THEM MAKE STUFF FOR THE FESTIVAL, LET ME SEE THEM GO ON NERVOUS DATES, LET ME SEE THEM GO DO FUN ACTIVITIES LIKE ICE SKATING OR HAVING A GAME NIGHT!
I absolutely fell in love with the idea randomly and now it's been on my mind completely.
