A setting pitch

>>55082899

"You will live to see it of course. The infection burrowed into your flesh way back in the beginning, cutting into keratinocytes with protein drills and infiltrating your bloodstream. By the time your keyboard has revealed itself, you will have lost all fear of such things. Lost most of your emotions, in fact. You will watch the keyboard leave, thinking nothing for hours until you get hungry. You will keep yourself fed, to nurse the thing that is busily disassembling your neurons and every other cell in your body. By the time the other worldly creature born of your keyboard steps into the room, you will have no capacity left to understand it. You may look at it, if you have eyes left, but more than likely you will simply sit, motionless - the muscles of your limbs were scavenged days ago - on a dissolving chair.

The creature will not harm you. It will simply walk past you and out the door, into the street. There, it will join with the others of its kind emerging from other homes."

Interesting monster, but where's the setting?

>>55082899

It's a no from me. You started with a good idea but you put all your eggs in that basket without any thought to how any of it would result in a playable game. Really all you've got is a creepypasta and while the writing is good there's not much underneath it.

The setting is that this shit is happening and you have to deal with it.

This was less the setting and more just the hook. The set up for the players would be as the outclassed human survivors along the fortified edge of the Hotzone, fighting back the constant push of the plague of flesh and its beasts while trying to keep the little american town they're part of from falling apart.

Its basically just a spin on the Zombie archetype.

Nice try mate.

I'm on an iPad.

>>55083252
I'm not even sure what to make of this.

>>55082899
No.

Next time if you want more useful feedback than a bunch of upvotes and downvotes, avoid saying "all I want to know is you'd be interested in playing".

What a dumb poll. What's the point of this? Shouldn't you control for genre preferences, etc?

If you're just trying to do market research for a commercial game you're making, this is not an effective way to do it.

I roll to kill my keyboard.

>>55082899
Without seeing mechanics or context, there's no way to know if this is worth my time or not.

>poll
That's a good point. OP, why didn't you just make a poll for this?

So, if we're human vegetables, what do we do in this game?

See >>55083211.

It's shit. Come up with a more fleshed out idea and some kind of mechanic behind it first.

>>55083211
How can I deal with if it it's already eaten my brain?

>>55082905

I hate to break it to you, OP, but that idea has been used and it's not really all that compelling imo. Read Plague of Swords by Miles Cameron. You've basically created a modified version of the Odine that form their own bodies rather than using other creatures.

Seems simultaneously too lethal and too slow. You can't fight something that infects you at the lightest touch. For long, anyway.
And there's none of the "drama" of bites; the infected are unlikely to know they're infected in many situations, and in those they do they can still serve as shock-troopers until their brains are scrambled.
Basically you're going to want to tone down the lethality somewhat if you want the idea of any random piece of furniture bursting into alien biomass to have any chance to go even slightly okay for any given player.
As it is they walk past, say an infected gym locker, which bursts open all over them. Or even merely extends a feeler as they brush past.
It's all over, and they never really stood a chance. It's not a game at that point, just masturbation.
Write a book, maybe.
