Howdy friends, I hope you are all having a good day. I have some news regarding Citizen Plague. Well, regarding any and all future chapters, including Chapter Two. Hopefully, you are all aware of my hatred for horror clichés and more so, my hatred for those who follow them. It will come as no surprise that I have in fact followed a few of those clichés myself. Some to which I added intentionally and some unintentionally. I am however going to remove one of the worst parts of the first chapter. That being zombies…They are overused, way too overused and since I don’t have any genuine ways in which to make the zombies in Citizen Plague innovative and integral to the gameplay experience, they will be removed.
Now don’t worry yourselves too much over this as I will simply be replacing them with other “Things”. I really want to play into some interesting paranormal aspects with Chapter Two (and the following chapters) and with the whole “undead” setting, it simply wouldn’t work. I hope that you all understand my reasons for this and that I would not do it unless I felt it would be better for the game in the long run. I can create a much better psychological horror experience by removing the commonplace horror norms that we have all come to expect, and more so, have gotten used to, to the point that they are now seen as tedious staples within the genre.
Chapter Two will be a very different experience to Chapter One in many ways, but I know you will all love it.
Feel free to talk to me in the comments or send me over an email, it is on my profile.
More news coming very soon!
Have a great day friends! :D
