What would you like to see from Frictional next?

But man... there've been so many games about WW and even penumbra mentioned WW (I think)

Your ignorance shows.

Many games abour WWI ? There have been nearly no adventure or FPS games set in World War One. In fact, nearly no games of any genre set in that period at all (except for a few flight sims and strategy games)...

Do you even know the difference between WWI and WWII and that they aren't the same thing ?! Hmm, if you're American, you are forgiven. I noticed that WWI isn't as popular in the US as the Second World War, for various reasons...

Maybe you'd like In the mouth of madness. IIRC it's close to what you want about "alien monsters invade Earth" except those monsters are from hell and not from outer space.

About a new game: what about a game where there are no "usual monsters" (zombies, vampires, creepy things, ...) but just humans... the worst monsters on Earth Maybe you are a jew in nazi Germany, or a black running out of civil war Loussiana, or an heretic running from the inquisition. Something like that, were you are just a human trying to survive without knowing who is a friend and who is a monster. Something like the feeling you get at the end of 1984. Or maybe you are a urban wo/man that gets lost in a strange island (no black smoke, thank you and some canivals want you to be their dinner.

Or even another step more: why do you have to be human? Why not be an animal running away from human hunters or an alien (think more of ET and not in THE alien or the predator) hiding from human military? Or maybe you are not even organic but a robot set to be destroyed if found.

Aye, that's another good idea. I tend to prefer realistic human-induced horror a bit more than the more usual supernatural or sci-fi one. A non-supernatural, fully psychological horror is hard to make though...

At the beginning of my OP in this thread, I mentioned a normal stealth game set in WWI (both at the frontline and in more detective-friendly urban enviroments) would be absolutely terrific if done well. In addition, you could add a few realistically horrific or noirish overtones to it, just for pure atmosphere and aesthetics. The objectives and possible threats would be completely real though.
