 		I was thinking that maybe if the Insanity/Sanity mechanic was implemented, if your sanity does go too low the character (Jay and/or Alex) will begin to see Masky or The Operator more and more until they were unavoidable. Also while certain Operator/Masky sightings/sequences are real and can have a negative effect on the Character the Hallucinated ones do not cause as much damage but the player may not notice since they are running from them.

Camera Stats: If either batteries or tapes run out, your camera turns off. While your camera is off, you can't detect the Operator or Maskies, and you can't recall anything that happens. Certain plot elements will utilize this: for instance, the entry in which Jay encounters Masky for the first time--he couldn't remember anything after his camera stopped recording. In addition, your Sanity will drop while you have no camera running, and you black out at 0% Sanity.)

Well, that wouldn't work so well, because the player would be able to remember that stuff just fine. You need to go off of what the player can experience.

Also, we still don't know for sure that The Operator possesses anyone.


I'm sorry, I wasn't clear about the mechanics of how "you can't recall the experience" works.

When your camera is off, your sanity level drops steadily. When it reaches 0, you "black out", which isn't to say that you black out in the sense of fainting, but that you lose control of the character and the screen blacks out. It comes back with your character waking up somewhere else, unable to remember the time while blacked out--this is what I meant by not being able to remember what happens during that time.

EDIT:

Tim: well see, my idea was to directly antagonize the playeras in, at first the game follows a story line similar to marble hornets
little town with a tall man problem and all that
but then as the player goes along, the graphics start to glitch out, the dev console starts popping up with weird messages in it
i'm trying to think of a way to make it a meta-game in the same way that MH is a meta-movie, does that make sense?


Though I love this, too. It's basically turning into Eternal Darkness style gameplay, which I absolutely adore.

Randoman, ask Tim if he's played Eternal Darkness?

 		After hours of Easter egg hunting, both you and your character are on the floor seizuring and/or going insane.

 		Not sure if it's been suggested before, but I have a few ideas for this game... Like, if the Mental Health bar gets too low, flashbacks of Totheark videos flash up at random, becoming more frequent the lower the bar gets, until when it finally drops to zero, the player is teleported to a large place (like a hall or something) full of Proxies, and then as they start to get closer to you... Closer and closer... The footage plays over and over, getting clearer each time until...

"We will wait for you no longer." Blackout/game over/ Continue screen.

Thoughts?

 		hey, guys. Amateur game developer here. I'd be willing to take on the MH video game.

I would use the Unity game engine, and probably the first person view via chest cam. This still allows for the view of a second handheld camera(like the op's idea).

I also like tim's idea of having the game "glitch out" when you progress to a certain point.

 		I'm down for hashing out design aspects and mechanical bits.
