Basically, you start out in a deep snowstorm, where your health slowly drains.
You must find a place to stay, but all seems lost, for there is nothing seemingly for miles.
Your walking along the thin ice, and suddenly you fall through the snow, into darkness. A gui slowly fades the screen to darkness.
About 12 seconds later, the gui slowly removes, and you see they you've fallen on a thin ledge inside an abandoned mall covered in snow. The ledge is overlooking a long drop to the bottom floor.
When you climb off the ledge onto the top floor, the only place accessable to you is a dimly lit Cafe running on its last power.
As soon as you enter, the lights flip off. You must search for a little room that leads to a backup generator that will power a part of the store. Upon restoring power, you see a shocking sight. An official-looking man is seen hanging from a rope attached to the ceiling.
A few peices of paper are scattered around the floor around him, and upon touching them, a gui appears showing you a small peice of a journal page, with the only text being "Can't take it"
Since the snow has wiped your memory seemingly clean, you must go throughout the mall and reclaim your memory VIA reading journal pages.
The game drags on repetitively (Go here, activate this, collect page) for a little while, untill you gain access to the lower floor. When you reach the lower floor of the mall, you see that its frozen solid, and your health starts draining again.
In order to survive the bottom floor of the mall, you must find or make sources of heat to stay alive, such as starting the oven in a kitchen or lighting a fireplace.
Sound good? :D |

I like the concept of journal pages to collect, reminds me of the grudge. |

I figure the journal pages will give people some motive to finish the game, rather than just "ima get outta dis mall i fell in kk" |

I was kind of thinking of samacado's darkness too.
Maybe adding limited lighting, then add flashlights or something you get later in the game? |

"you should have zombies like samacados darkness."
Because nothing screams "horror" more than generic zombies.
I was thinking of something more along the lines of "Crazed Psychos" if anything |

Alright, what I'll say is do that, but make it in a snowy valley, where the valley becomes more thinner and thinner as you progress, some have fears of clostrophobia, may be the key to your idea ;D |

Yeah, not zombies, but something to battle. If you go through with this, it will be awesome. |

Claustrophobia was going to be a really good addition.
I had thought of adding a "Panic" meter that slowly fills while your in tight rooms, face-to-face with Psychos, or looking down large drops. |

"if they stopped using the mall, wouldnt they tear it down or use it for something else?..."
Snow Storm covers the mall.
Everyone evacuates. |

"I had thought of adding a "Panic" meter that slowly fills"
Your nailing concepts from every horror game I know. ._.
That reminds me of calling.
On calling, theres a panic meter that appears when ghosts are around, and if they grab you, your panic meter goes up.
As it gets higher, the screen turns more and more red. |

Don't make it so detailed that you can't finish it though :( |

"so, wait, if it got covered in a snow-storm then wouldnt they send a rescue crew to dig it out?..."
Are you going to question me or give me ideas for the game? |
|
|
Sounds like a good idea, but wait until Roblox fixes the lag.

If the panic meter in this game fills, you basically die.
Your fear strikes your heartin such a way that it produces a heart attack, and you die. |

And when the panic meter is full, you drop down to the ground dead. I assume via heart attack. |
