Right off the bat for the TL; DR crowd, would you be interested in an erotic horror(slasher) choose your own adventure, with no images, just written text, and if so, what ratio of violence/sex would you prefer?
Having asked that, there's a chance that this should be in the Game Dev forum and not General, but none of the sub-forums seemed appropriate for this question as I'm just at the beginning stages of writing the game. If I've erred in posting this in General, I apologize and please feel free to yell at me to move the thread or have it moved.
So I'm a huge fan and patron of Devious Skooma's 'Devious World', an erotic CYOA I stumbled across on this site. The game is massive, however, with currently hundreds, possibly even over a thousand unfinished threads, and I'm looking to start off with a far smaller game. So I picked up Twine 2.0, learned the basics and have built the framework for a game that's manageable enough in size to finish in (hopefully) a few months to half a year, so that I can release it complete and for free while still working my day job (and without the rigmarole of Patreon).
Basically, it's a horror film that the reader can control called NIGHT NURSES. If I do my job correctly, it should read as if you're watching a late 70's, early 80's horror slasher, where you dictate the way the movie goes. You are not a character in the story, or to look at it another way, you are all the characters at one point or another. You dictate who the killer is (vaguely), who the main character is, when a jump scare happens, who is attracted to whom and when they bang, and sometimes who dies when and how violent that death will be. There will still be surprises for the reader/player, as you won't know exactly what the outcome of some choices will be. For instance, you may choose whether the killer is a man or a woman, a giant brute or a teenage psycho, but with most choices you'll still have a roster of suspects that may turn out to be the actual killer. Kind of like the video game 'Until Dawn', only more anal retentive and anal attentive.
But as I've lurked on F95 (a pastime I enjoy very much, this community is lively and opinionated), I've begun to suspect that the majority of players here may not dig this idea. Most people seem to want the Ren'Py visual novel aesthetic, and are none to keen on sexual violence, even if it's avoidable. So, for those that read this, would you be interested in a game like this, and what kinks would you want or absolutely NOT want to see in it?
