Would you play a horror game centered around a Werewolf?

Well it depends on the gameplay.....

What sort of gameplay would you be interested in?

>>389853243
Would if it was something similar to vtmb

if it was like the alien campaign in AvP2 then yes

>>389853741
That's not a horror game.

>>389853243
Isn't that what the order was?

>>389853721
Would be neat as a stealth game where the werewolf portions are unpredictable but scripted and you were constantly being hunted by a village or something of that nature.

>>389853243
How would you make it actually feel horror?

I've never played it.

Explain

>>389853721
Depends really.
If it's another walking forest simulator, probably not.
I would be interested in a system where you live in a small village, and the game alternates in between phases where you actually hide in the village and try not to get eaten, and a phase where you guess who the werewolves are. (Just like the card game).
So something like that one game where you're on a boat and have to repair a heli to gtfo but like, in a village or something.

The order was a godawful uninspired corridor shooter with a couple of copypasted qte werewolf fight sequences that squandered the potential of its steampunk setting.

>>389853884

Put a werewolf in it and don't fuck it up


>>389853947
I'm liking the ideas in this thread, expound on yours good anon

>>389853917
you can find footage on youtube for a better example but you play an alien from birth to drone and hunt and kill humans and predators, you end up infiltrating and sabotaging like 2 or three different bases and crawl around in vents freaking people out before you kill them all that fun shit, there's also a story but it's pretty basic

>tfw werewolf the apocalypse is finally getting a vidya

>>389854232
The main objective is to build a boat to get out of the village.
Day phase : You have to collect resources in the woods/make them to build a boat (but no retarded craft system if possible) or; you can go to the tribunal and accuse someone of being a werewolf. People vote if they agree or not; you can ise your resources to "pay" these people (with collected resources) to vote with you.
If the person you accuse is convicted; she gets a trial by fire, and his identity is revealed. You can block some passages/make some objects in order to increade your surviveability during night time
During night time; werewolves start attacking; you have to hide and try to make as many villagers to survive by helping them or something.

>>389854594
Is it being done by paradox? I have cautious optimism if so. inb4 dlc the apocalypse

>>389853243
Yeah sure. I would be fine with a new Until Dawn game but with Werewolves instead of Wendigos
I feel like Until Dawn did qtes right.

>>389854727
Note; this gameplay could apply o a modern day setting, where you repair a car or something.

>time-limited story run over the course of one month, get a Fallout-style slideshow at the end
>villagers can't figure out why full moon won't go away, giving you an excuse to frequently be a werewolf instead of once a month
>spend your days trying to fit in, subtly throwing the villagers off your case, kind of like a VN or LA Noir

Never played Styx, seems like they are working on a CoC game as well though. Makes me wonder what direction they intend to go with it. If it's just VTMB dog-man edition I'd be satisfied.

>>389855089
styx games are really good stealth games, so it gives me hope

>>389853763
Would you recommend AVP 2010 or AVP 2?

>>389855060
Have the missions be heavily scripted in the overworld and have the main character trying to solve the mystery of the full moon. I would play this.

>>389855343
avp2 is good and still has people playing online, 2010 is hot garbage

>>389855530
I figure it would shake out by calendar day based on what actions you took, i.e.:

>Grigory will discover your den outside the walls on the 15th...
>... unless you killed him, or moved your den on the 14th, or convinced him not to go looking, etc.

I would only want it to be open world so you can approach your objective from any angle. No PoIs.

>>389853243
Assassin's Creed, but killing people includes leaping off of buildings and crushing them.

>>389855787
Throw in a cult trying to raise an elder demon causing the moon to be full. Have the village convinced the cults actions are the werewolf's fault. The player has to mitigate the village and cults actions all the while being forced to fix the cultist problem probably culminating in some sort of ebin final mission that ties the whole thing up with a neat bow.

>>389856162
Yeah, maybe during the day you investigate which villagers are cultists and during the night those are your targets.

>>389853243
>throughout the game some fucking is trying to kill you via silver arrow
>PRESS THE BUTTON SEQUENCE ON THE SCREEN

>>389856352
Would it be better to have the main character be an affluent person like an aristocrat? Maybe have them be invited to join the cult via some fancy scarlet letter type thing at one point having to figure out an excuse to not go. Or a regular villager taking on the odds?

>Turn of the century werewolf huntin'
>Generally being incompeten'
>ineffective weaponin'

I'd play it if it was made well, or if it had a saxton hale sorta multiplayer element to it.

So what's the best current werewolf experience? Is it still Skyrim with 200 mods?

>tfw the mythos of one of the classic monsters that actually scares you gets overwhelmed with sex addicts

>a horror game
No.

But a detective game where you are a priest and must find who is there werewolf in a small village? Yes.

>>389857338
PnP RPG's, no games have captured the theme quite well as of yet.

>>389856845
It's a werewolf game.

You have the obligation of being a priest if you're fighting a werewolf.

>>389858180
No, that's fucking stupid. Werewolves have nothing to do with priests. Priests have shit to do with vampires.

>>389856845
I like the idea of being well-to-do as you have some social status to preserve during the day phase, and it wouldn't be unusual for you to be going to social events, etc.

And perhaps the invitation from the cult is what kicks off your investigation because it turns out their ritual is making your life more difficult (by turning you more often).

>>389858180
>>389858430
I mean, priests generally stand against all abominations unto the Lord. But we're talking about two different games here:

>one where you fight against a werewolf
>one where you are a werewolf fighting against something else

>>389853243
if this is your whole idea then no

>>389858430
Stop talking about something you know nothing about. Priests fight all abominations, including werewolves, that's how the entire culture around werewolves is.

>>389853243
Tim Cain, is that you?

>>389855920

That might be cool but I get a feeling if developed like that it would just be a furry clinging to a walls and crouching which would look retarded and not really capture the experience being aimed for.

>>389853243

What kind(s) of horror would you be aiming for though?

>>389858673
I also like the contrast it sets up between the day phases and the werewolf phases. I'm already writing a solo campaign with these themes now

You should really check old folklore.

St Martin the Thaumaturge was basically Batman, magic horse instead of batmobile, holy relics instead of techno-bauble gadgets, and The Woods instead of Arkham Asylum, but basically the same archetypes and story structures.

Would definitely have dealt with a werewolf. Preferably before the poor guy get lynched by a mob during the day when "deprived of his power".

>>389855309
Good but incredibly shirt.
I have less hope for Werewolf the Apocalypse and would enjoy the Forsaken more.

>>389860853

As I much as I prefer nWoD to oWoD overall, I agree on that one.

The first Styx game had its heart in the right place, but I'm of a really mitigated opinion about it.
Didn't try the second.

>>389860853
I'd rather have a short and well executed game than a bloated game with irritating filler. Of course an extensive game that is well executed is much more desired.
