Hello Neighbor: Hidden Spirits

Be sure not to break any of his belongings. He gets very angry when you do.

Be very quiet when you're sneaking around Mr. Peterson's house, for a door closing or even your own footsteps are enough to alert him

I really want your thoughts on mechanics, story points, environment ideas, ideas for scares, etc.

What do you guys want this game to have?

I'm gonna upload a YouTube Short soon that'll showcase some of the new features of the chase sequences (it genuinely scared the ever living crap out of me at one point while recording, as you'll probably notice in the video lol)

How would you guys feel about a sort of "lives" mechanic put into the game?

Basically: if you get caught one too many times, you start all over. I feel like it'd put a lot more fear into the chase sequences, but what do you guys think?

I have now officially gotten the modkit Neighbor Blender file to work in my project. Now, I'll be able to do fully custom animations along with facial animations!!
:D

How would you guys feel about Hidden Spirits having random paranormal encounters as you sneak around Mr. Peterson's house? (these wouldn't just be over-the-top jumpscares, but rather more on the psychological side ranging from subtle to very noticeable)

So, I'm kind of torn between two choices regarding Mr. Peterson's model.
I like the facial animations, but I also love the uncanny valley feel the model gives off without the facial animations.
What do you guys think?

Just as a little preface for story-related stuff: I am not going to implement ANYTHING story related until I come up with a story that makes sense, is nice and simple, and scary. No convoluted stories in MY game. >:)
