Obviously there’s a very very minuscule chance of anything like this ever being made, but I thought it might be an interesting thought to share nonetheless.
What if there was a survival horror game starring a fluffy?
The setting could be any number of things; an abuser’s house, a deep dark forest, a big city at night, etc.
You wouldn’t be able to fight at all for obvious reasons, so the mechanics would have to be based on stealth alone.
And maybe for extra fluffy-fitting difficulty, there’d be a panic mode (something I read about being featured in some mostly forgettable game where that and there being a dog companion were the only interesting parts) where the fluffy starts running around uncontrollably if it gets too scared, and you’d have to try and use something like a stuffy friend item to calm it down.
Yeah, I’m better at thinking up ideas than I am at bringing them to fruition, even when it comes to things I actually can do (writing and drawing). lol
Mmmm too easy to die in my opinion, no because fluffies are idiots with an easy death tendency (only), mostly because people would die just for fun, basically have some abuser fun.
Why you gotta do my homeboy ‘Haunting Ground’ like that
The game idea has potential though. A fluffy can feasibly be scared of a lot. Playing with the idea of ‘fluffy-vision’ could be interesting, too. Personally, I’d gear it into a game about a human and their fluffy. Using the fluffy to obtain stuff the person can’t reach and stuff like that. Maybe have segments where you play as the fluffy and things are in fluffy-vision - like that part of Bioshock (2, I think?) where you get the POV of a Little Sister.
Haunting Ground was a good game. I’d definitely have fun with a fluffy survival horror game.
I imagine you can poop and it acts as banana peels/oil slicks to slow the enemy, but if you panic then you auto-poop the whole time, which is bad because you have a limited supply and gotta eat stuff to replenish it. Panic Mode also makes you louder, I imagine.
Hell, just a hide-and-seek type game against a scary abuser would be fun. Or being a pet fluffy that got stuck in the park during night hours and has to get home.
Having fun death scenes doesn’t mean people won’t play the game! It’s just a nice bonus for after you beat it. (If it’s even fun to die - it could just throw up a blood splash jpg and call it a day.)
Id love to do character designs for something like that; but don’t know my ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to game building, and development work. Also theres the fluffy game curse that would make me apprehensive too. Lol
If you’re not familiar, basically most fluffy games never make it past Beta stage and take forever to complete. So its an ongoing joke that fluffy themed games have a curse because of the lack of finished ones.
