Well for my two mods that I have in the works I will focus on two completely differing genres while also tackling themes like: "Would you try to kill or be killed just so you can feed your addictions?" or "Should I damage my bond with another person so it can benefit me more?"

All of these questions are very interesting to me. Maybe you should think about having an underlining message in your mod.

I think it's best not to get too focused on the underlying messages and story unless you have something you really care about/am interested in that you want to get across. This time I am more focused on the emotional aspect, in that I want to make a mod that horrifies you, but also interests you enough that it's not just boring torture.

I think instead Messages, Subject, themes, characters and so on should be developed and used as a tool for achieving these emotions, since that's what I am really interested in doing with this mod. They should not be a goal on their own like: "oh I'm such an artistic modder, I made this level that focused on developing this character", instead it should be "I'm gonna develop this character in this first level, so I can make the player FEEL really disturbed when it's personality changes in the next" would be an example.

Note: been having this stuff in my head for a while, could not help but jump the opporunity to throw out my thoughts mate.
