[Discussion] Is this storyline too corny?

I figure the main character would be the character the player controls (in amnesia it's Daniel for example). :]

Had some confuses between Player and Main character there lol.

Adding to that, if you do it really well you could even deliberately make the early scares crap - i.e. deliberately make the player think they are... well not 'lame' scares but you know, scares that a real person could easily dismiss, then later start throwing some really terrifying sh*t at the player as the main character starts to clock on to whats going on. Kinda risky in that the player may just quit cause they think its lame, and also kinda risky in that you'd have to be pretty good at setting up scares, for the later ones at least. Food for thought!

I did think about this but I'd actually prefer using the good old build up scares all along so the player won't actually quit
