Help Me Name My Horror FPS

Hey! I hope my post is in the right place.

I made a horror FPS for a monthly game jam with a unique gameplay twist: the enemies only move when you do (or shoot). It’s currently called Churchyard, but I want a title that reflects this core gameplay mechanic—something that immediately intrigues people when they see or hear it.

Here are a few ideas I’ve come up with so far:

  • Cursed Steps
  • Few Steps from Death
  • Echoes in the Dark
  • Deadly Steps
  • ...or anything else?

I’m putting extra thought into this title because I’d love to make this a franchise someday (imagine a carnival with killer clowns and all that!).

This game takes place in a graveyard. You play as a police officer investigating a mysterious emergency call. When you arrive, there’s no one there—at first. As you dig deeper, things get more unsettling.

You can check out the game for free here: https://martindemeter.itch.io/the-churchyard

I’d really appreciate your thoughts on these ideas—or feel free to suggest your own!

Thanks in advance!

For me, I'm thinking a hyperbolic title involving the word Dance

Generic example:

As I Dance With The Monsters

Maybe 'Mirror Dance'?

Or 'Mirrored Steps'?

 'As I Dance With The Monsters' has a cool, dramatic vibe, and 'Mirror Dance' is intriguingly mysterious. Hm... how about 'Dancing with the Shadows'? It feels like it captures the movement-based mechanic and the mirror effect (like a shadow?). What do you think?

That sounds good
