I'd really, REALLY, like to see somebody create a death camp storygame. That would be fucking mindblowing, if done correctly.

As in a Nazi concentration camp? Are you saying that my mystery/puzzle storygame should involve the player escaping from one of those?

Not necessarily a Nazi concentration camp, just a death camp in general. Fictional or not.

And I'm not stating that your game should include it, I'm just saying I think it's a good idea in general.

Sorry, I meant to say "something like a Nazi concentration camp".

What kind of storygame were you thinking? A protagonist who is in one and trying to escape?

Doesn't really matter. Prisoner, guard, warden, any of those sound cool.

I guess there is some of that in Eternal. But that's not the whole storygame, which is what I think you want to see. I can't think of any others that already exist.

I had an idea for a fantasy prison story game which I mentioned on here a long time ago. I wouldn't really confine it to a "Death Camp" though, just prison life in general because a death camp would limit what I would want to do with such a theme.

Really though, the type of prison I had in mind wouldn't be much better than a death camp.

Who knows, maybe next story in the far future assuming nobody else does something similar.

A guy on COG was making a prison game a while back. It sucked. 

Yeah I remember reading about it, I think during the development phase some people were going on about how the prison gangs shouldn't be based on color because you know racism. Lol.

Yeah, I remember that. XD Also that the prisons were not co-ed. Apparently that was horrific. XD

There's a board game.
