The thread about spooky greys got me thinking. How would a game with Cryptids work? I know there are multiple games with Big Foot as an Easter Egg. How could a videogame possibly expand on this? What Cryptids would work well in a game to make it scary? How would alien abductions work in a videogame?

There's a bigfoot hunting game released sometime in the past year or two. It's you typical low effort asset flip but still in concept it's pretty much what you'd expect: setting up cameras and traps, going in and out of your camper and running like a bitch when he finds you.

Destroy All Humans worked well. You'd probe humans for brainpower which allowed you to get upgrades and the game basically was all about making you the President by putting people you hypnotized and/or fugged in power.
2 was more of an odd Spy Movie type of deal.

Red dead redemption has a jackalope in the base game, the zombie DLC has bigfoot, chupacabra and a unicorn for you to track down and hunt, the last one is a bitch to get since you need to acquire the 4 horses of the apocalypse first do these count as cryptids?, get the last and best outfit, which requires you to essentially 100% the game, kill the chupacabra, which is hard to track down, and then ride near matedero until the fucker spawns, is the horse worth it? Hell no, it has gay butterflies and rainbows around him and is slower and frailer than death, not to mention that if you kill him or break another horse the unicorn never spawns again, at least you get a trophy i guess.

In all fairness, Slenderman is an interesting case example of how urban myths which clearly have fantasy/fictional origins can transform into "real" ones, to the point that some stupid psycho kids start stabbing their friends over it. And that is when you consider how you can simply look up the original fucking SA post.

Added effect of restarting the studio's entire progress with the the game by redoing it into a third-person shooter with no personality and bare minimum soap opera story, also managed to kill the studio too after release, the studio's expertise was in FPS games but retarded niggers who complained got the mediocre game they wanted, without ever thinking of what "spinoffs" are.

Only if you had any attachment to the original IP to begin with. Anon's got a point, it did actually seem like a cool game when you set aside what it was doing with the IP. Granted that was probably a red flag that the game wasn't being made with the best intentions.

best I could think of is a Wendigo game where you are in the forest and are trying to evade the Wendigo, think Alien Isolation but in the forest.
Meh would be a investigation/walking simple where you get clues on the cryptids and it ends with a cliff hangers of DID WE FIND IT OR DID IT FIND US!!! BlairWitch kind of ending.
Worst thing i can think of would be a cryptid hunting game or a GoW ripoff where instead of killing gods you kill cryptids.

Nobody wanted that game. And are you really trying to blame X-COM fans for wanting and X-COM game to bear the slightest similarity to X-COM? The fault lies with whoever decided to slap the name of a beloved and dead franchise on game that had nothing in common with it, not even aesthetically, for a quick cashgrab, and then decided to completely retool the game after they got the highly predictable negative response for their attempt at tricking people into buying it.
The initial trailer for the Bureau did look pretty cool and it might have been a decent game, but we'll never know because some kike was too afraid to make a new IP.

SCP containment breach is basically this though it's focused less on the "hunting cryptids" and more on the "surviving their attacks".
If you wanted a game based on tracking/finding cryptids it would be hard. Are we focusing on just one type or multiple at the same time? I could imagine a set up where there's multiple levels and each level is basically going cryptid hunting for a particular cryptid, finding hints for it's existence, tracking it down and trapping it. Aliens are hard because of their intelligence though, would probably be the final level having you have to survive an abduction. Probably would have a ranking system depending on if you just got some evidence, hard proof cryptids exist or successfully captured the cryptid dead, and for exceptional rank captured the cryptid alive. There would have to be some kind of time limit and RNG involved for say a Big Foot map as you would need to have the logical progression be
>I have found hints of Big Foot in the area
>we are learning Big Foot's habits from these hints
>now that I have successfully gained information about his route I must now set a trap for him
>I successfully caught Big Foot with my trap
The problem is translating this into gameplay mechanics as you would need some kind of way to freely invent different traps and freely manage where you placed them.

A mod of original x-com called x-files does this. You start out as a poorly funded group with 2 agents and have to rent cars and use public transportation. Starts 2 years before the alien invasion. You will do things like investigate cults and strange creatures.

I'm just questioning if turds like you have any idea of game development, it's like forcing a mobile game developer to make a Triple-A FPS game WITHOUT the area of expertise and experience, but don't worry, I'm blaming both sides of the dipshit fence, the publisher and devs for kowtowing to this fucking shit and doubling the money wasted in development and the retards who got what they wanted, it was amusing seeing Spoony and 7 Peso Jose complain about this spinoff, then praise them after E3 2010 that they're redoing game development to make it into a Mass Effect B-movie game, the former complained about the quality, the latter forgot about it ever existing, if we had more fans than put pressure like this to publishers, the crash can come faster.

Honestly my dream game would be one based on the MIB comics where you get a call and have to go to bumbfuck nowhere to investigate whatever weird shit is going on and suppress it,
shit like ayys showing up all over the place because their hive queen sent them on a scavenger hunt, some crazy industrial waste is turning bunnies into blood thirsty beasts or that old folk monster is really just an old man trying to keep the damn kids off of his lawn by transforming into a giant bird and eating them. would occasionally need you to put the freak of the week in its place with a well placed shotgun blast but if they didn't want to die they shouldn't have been fucking around on your watch
big focus on investigating and interrogating to get to the heart of the matter then leaving with as little of a trace as you can
So kinda like La Noir I guess but you can just hypnotize the rubes into telling you what they saw then give them the ""correct"" versions of events like swamp gas reflecting off of venus or just a simple weather raccoon with mange
bonus points if you MKULTRA kids along the way

A good horror game should first and foremost have a lot of immersive sim aspects. It pains me to no end that you still have shitloads of horror games that
>Don't have movement acceleration
>Don't have friction
>Don't have leaning
>Don't have proper first person (See: Mount & Blade)
>Don't have realistic inventory management
etc. Any good horror game will try to get you immersed first, THEN the spooky shit will happen. Also, there should be more to do than "oh no don't die to the SPOOKY THING!!". Much like any good horror movie, there has to be more to it than that. I mean, think of some of the scariest shit in a game - 90% of the time it's from a game that's completely unrelated to horror.
Relatedly, I'm still mad that the only popular game about Slenderman is an absolute low-effort dogshit prototype game. It fucking ruined the entire idea. Marble Hornets S1 and parts of EverymanHYBRID are about the only good pieces of Slenderman media. Everything after it is garbage.
