Concidering ideas i'll give you that.

The family is coming to look after the hotel. Kind of like the situation in the movie The Shining. Mother, father, brother and sister, just the way you like it. It's winter, the area's cut off from major cities. However, the hotel is located in a residential area. In addition to it, a small settlement with a bar, farmland and a few families living there permanently. The family decides to take such an adventure because of the disruption in the family. The parents tolerate each other only because of the children. The couple's sex life has long been, shall we say, in an inactive state. Is the father redundant? Great, let's remove him from the story and make the reason for arrival financial difficulties. And then there are a lot of options for development, from paranormal to psychological or even in the direction of horror. You said something about realism, people sometimes do unthinkable things, and everything I described is possible.

You want something spicy? There's a small settlement, people used to being cut off from society. People who grab every chance they can because of their circumstances, not because they want to. 

I've given enough, I usually get paid for more than that.

And at the end, God, the models you're using, it's quite a sad sight.

Nice story! It is a good setting, but it skipped over all of the things that make it unique enough to be a story worth telling. Not complaining tho, thanks for the input! And I get paid a whole lot more at me job too! so what, we are all here for the funzies.

Today, it's more about storytelling and less about making it unique.  Seriously, apocalypses, invasions, wars, catastrophes, everything has been milked. you can try to scrap themes that have not been, but in the end you start to understand that there were reasons for that. It might just be plain boring, or it might be pretty dry and you can't really expand on it without a lot of damage to the plot. I guess what I wanted to say was: Bysicle was created a long time ago, just adapt it and use the right materials. And of course make it look pretty. Everybody loves pretty things, even if they are useless.

Do you want a complete script, retsymthenam? I'm not sure if you're objecting to these ideas because they're too high-level and you're looking moreso for unique script/gameplay, or if you genuinely want a totally novel setting and overarching plot. If it's the latter, I think most of that has already been done in terms of common parlance. If it's the former, a High level concept that's been done before (high fantasy, simple middle class day in life, etc.) can incorporate unique elements in gameplay or plotlines that other media (games/books/TV) doesn't have.

Personally, Badmanjack, I liked your plot at a high level. horror + porn can be very enticing when done correctly. Psychological horror (rather than just gore) is perfect for this genre and underdone, imo. Lots of possibility for unique gameplay mechanics, too.

Appreciate the kind word, thank you, I too believe that this is an area that is being unjustifiably ignored)

Thanks for all the comments. I just know I'll soon enough have the time to work on and complete another title, and by the time I arrive there I would want it to
a. be more solid, the previous games like housewife were too buggy.
b. have a unique story / setting. It doesn't have to be extensive, just unique and convincing.

When the time comes, will you give us some spoilers for the new title? ;)

By the way, if I can contribute or help you with anything, even in the slightest, let me know, I will be happy to do so.

quick question are you the one that made the long vacation? if so i cannot find a link to play it.
