"Scare or get scared in a community driven asymmetrical multiplayer horror game where players create and share horror stories."

Just stumbled upon Kaidan by Metanoia Games. Being an avid fan of the horror genre, I quickly grew an interest in this project.

The fact that this is the first horror game with a *toolset*, allowing Storytellers (Dungeon Masters) to create their own stories and Haunters (Antagonists) terrorize the Victims (Players) makes it even sweeter to back. That in itself makes it a fine horror RPG already in my opinion.

Features:
  • Kaidan System: A comprehensive system for creating horror scenarios. It allows the players to:
    - Create levels in different settings such as hotels, mansions, hospitals, etc.
    - Create characters including Victims (protagonists) and Haunters (antagonists) with highly varied abilities and characteristics.
    - Integrate user created riddles and puzzles into the game level to create a unique experience and story.
    - Add user-generated content such as text, voice and images to enrich and narrate your story.
  • Scare or Get Scared: Asymmetric Multiplayer Horror game where a solo Haunter scares a group of Victims utilizing unique game mechanics.
  • Community Driven: The game is driven by the community of players who create, share, play and rate the horror stories.
  • Role-playing Elements: Playing as the Haunter is a unique role-playing experience. The Haunter tries to scare other players while driving the story in his/her own way.
  • Procedural Level Generation: Based on the Storyteller’s input for each scenario, levels will be procedurally generated, so every single story can be experienced in many different forms.
  • Victim Characters: Victims are the human characters in each scenario. By customizing their items and abilities, they’ll fit almost any of the stereotypical characters in the horror genre.
  • Haunter Classes: Haunters have various classes based on stereotypical villains in the horror genre as well as a vast array of abilities to ensure every Haunter can be different.
  • Virtual Reality Support: The game is going to support Virtual Reality to further enhance the horror experience.
