Using the dataset to carry on the torch in an archival format strikes me as distinctly different from a storefront to profit off of.

Something mystery/investigative might work, but definitely not a horror investigation game.

Must be beginner friendly, one session, simpler rules, and preferably something lighter in tone. My mother doesn’t really like fantasy or scifi at all. Neither of them are into horror whatsoever.

This has blown the game wide open.

(And of course, because gothic horror protags are by and large emotionally immature, they’re going to cause more problems for themselves even as they deal with the overarching “plot” level conflict)

So yes, there will be supernatural occurrences. But the point isn’t to discover that or why something is occult. It’s about solving the problem.

In Dracula or Frankenstein, no one’s going on a mission to figure out that the count is a vampire, no one cares that the modern Prometheus was created by Frankenstein. It’s all about handling the situation regardless of the origin.

I was talking to my design friends and suddenly realized: it’s not about *finding* the problem, it’s about *solving* the problem.

Something I’ve been struggling with for a long time is the core loop/character motivation. A lot of horror games veer investigative, and I understand why, but that was never going to be the right fit for gothic horror.
