Dev Notes, Concepts, and Ideas
Color-based effects or biomes that only have an impact when in the FOV?
The "obscurity" is a random value set at the beginning of a run, and lost upon death. The game will have various secrets, some of which are only accessible via certain obscurity values.
A banana taped to a wall?
A note taped to a wall that says "I. O. U. 1 Banana"
Could also have an art gallery room
"Dead Souls" - Each time you die, your past souls are collected, and you might be able to spend them to unlock something new.
A lock in one dimension needs a key (password) in another?
It could be interesting, not necssarily a good or fun idea, but if you had another "point" or currency. Where if you spend the first one you get some kind of "cursed knowledge" point and that affects the run somehow? So the more you use your forbidden knowledge the more weird things get?
If you use IRL time and date as a mechanic, go big or go home. Maybe the horror dimension is only accessible during full/new moons?
