Specification

This game that I want to create should:

  • be a survival horror type game
  • be aimed at 18 year olds and over, as it will contain violence and gore
  • have puzzles to solve throughout the game to keep the user interested
  • include supernatural monsters, such as zombies, that will try to seek and destroy the player throughout the game
  • allow the player to have access to weapons to defend him/herself, however, the ammo for the weapon should be scarce so that it gives the player more of a challenge.
  • keep the user entertained and 'hooked'
