Killer in the Crowd (NaGaWriMo Day 18)

Day 18 of National Game Writing Month! These game concepts are silly one-offs that will never be considered for production. If you’re inspired by one, feel free to use it, but it would be nice if you told me!

A bus load of about two dozen deranged and deadly killers crashes just outside your small suburban town. Every single one them escapes and sets their sights on your home town. You are not a hero. You will not capture them and save the day. You are just trying to survive.

These various killers are not stupid however and most blend into society. Some more convincing than others. Killer in the Crowd plays out like a macabre puzzle game where the punishment for failure is death. You must carefully watch your surroundings and make note of who you interact with and what they do. Say you want to go to the barber, knowing all these killers are in your town do you decide to go to the one who says his favorite show is Sweeney Todd? Probably not. But, it is not always that easy.

Do you think you can survive when there is a Killer in the Crowd?

Want to do your own NaGaWriMo? It’s fine if you start late. It’s a made-up challenge. Write a good one and include the hash-tag!
