Style for story-driven games...

I am thinking of making story driven horror games (think of like Clock Tower the First Fear and Corpse Party) and make a series with that style, so far I am more inclining on RPG Maker MZ and make them in the style of Corpse Party and there may be combat, albeit little of it, say like in "Sweet Home" on the NES as one of my top favourite horror rpg's out there along with Corpse Party.

You can check out my 2 prototypes I've created with AGS and RPGMMZ below.

AGS version https://lavawave.itch.io/stygiophobia-comfort-in-apathy-abandoned *I recommend you download

RPG Maker MZ version https://lavawave.itch.io/stygiophobia-comfort-in-apathy-rpg-maker-version

Sadly I got no feed back and got ignored when I posted them several days ago.

While I love RPG Maker MZ and RPG Maker in general it has a general reputation that it is largely for amateurs and I've seen many games (including decent and good ones using custom assets or mix the default with custom assets) be largely ignored just for being made with RPG Maker (any version) I hate that stigma for this software, I am not a programmer myself so I am not going to use Unity, Unreal or Godot as they're more popular and games made with such get more attention.

I have to wonder if you're discussing style for creating game or ranting about your project.

Anyways, I've checked the links you've provided above but immediately lose interest after seeing or rather not seeing game description nor game screenshots. You need to inform people what exactly you've made there using game description and screenshots.

Right, I edited the game pages and now the screenshots are visible, there is not much way to describe them as they're small prototypes, one is an adventure point and click style like in the Sierra and Lucas Arts games and the other is an rpg format (non-combat like in Corpse Party)

I'm now leaning more towards horror rpg being made with rpg maker mz with little to no combat, more story driven horror as in Corpse Party and Sweet Home.
