Other I Had a Great Idea for a Video Game
I had a great idea for a video game and I offer this up to anyone who wants to use it since I do not have the skill set necessary to do anything with it. It's basically Final Destination the Game. It's one of those Dead by Daylight types but instead of a killer you can escape or defeat, the "killer" is Death. Death's goal is to kill the other players but rather than being a physical guy running around, they are playing in like a spectator mode, but they can set up traps and trigger things to kill the survivors. The survivors meanwhile would be trying to live their lives, and avoid death as long as possible, maybe there are random rules limiting Death that the survivors could figure out to help themselves and the survivors have tasks they need to accomplish. But the big difference is, there is no escaping Death. It would be a points system, so survivors get more points they longer they survive, while Death would get points for killing quickly, but get much more points for making the death's elaborate. You could hit someone with a truck, quick, easy netting you some points or you could place a toaster beside the bath, and the toaster falls in the bath but unplugs from the wall, it still startles the survivor and they knock the soap onto the floor, they get out of the bath and slip on the soap and they bath curtain wraps around their neck and they are strangled to death which would net you tonnes of points. Then it becomes a lot more of a mind game, like a survivor notices a tap turning on and water overflowing from a sink. Do you turn the tap off? Moving towards the tap could be the killers goal though and they are setting you up for a drowning death. Do you leave it? If the water spreads far enough you could be electrocuted to death. Do you just leave? What if that's Death's goal and they've set up something to hit you on the way out?
