Psychological Survival Horror

I'm asking for game design advice here about a new game.

If you don't have a forge account, you could also reply right here.

Because I am working on a similar project, The Shotgun Diaries, I stopped reading as soon as I saw "survival horror."

That's pretty exciting.

Feel free to read, and steal, if you like. If someone else writes the game I want more me, that's just a win for me. Of course, if your process doesn't like that sort of thing, avoidance is a good idea.

I've been accused of stealing people's ideas before, so I try to avoid them.

I designed TSD for a friend of mine as a birthday present. It's pure zombie survival stuff. Only three or four pages long (with pictures). He loved it and even ran it a few times, giving me feedback. I'll have a copy of it at GenCon (hopefully).

Well, I'm not likely to accuse you so much as go "cool!"

But it sounds like you're well past the initial ideas stage.
