Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. I got this idea last night, while trying to sleep.You play as a colorblind-from-a-young-age hikkikomori, who's been chosen as the first subject for a drug that may be able to restore color to their(I haven't decided their gender/appearance/anything) vision.The side-effects, however, make it rather psychoactive, thus causing them to have odd dreams, in assorted colors. As they get more effects in their dream, they begin to see more and more color in the world as they're awake.I've been thinking of having multiple endings to it, mainly dependant on how many dream denizens you kill(There'd be a way to get around all the denizens to get to an effect). The, er, numbers aren't set, just an idea.0-5 killed= Good end, they regain the ability to see color in a normal manner, and are really happy with this.6-15 killed= Decent end, colors are a bit distorted, and they're indifferent.16+ killed= Bad end, real world's colors are very distorted. As the doctor comes to check them, the character kills them, as their vision makes them resemble something akin to the game's toriningen.

Hey, this sounds good! The multiple endings are intresting.If you actually do it, are you going to make it in which engine?
That... I really don't know. I'd probably use one of the RPG Makers, which I could try and learn.
I like the sound of this, but if you're making something black and white, for the love of god don't literally make it uncolored.Add a teeny tiny tint of color in the B/W to rest the eyes on, unless you're making a monochrome level.
>>2244It's not going to fully be black and white, a lot of grays, maybe a few blue hues in the real world.The dream world would probably be damned colorful, though.... I should try drawing some concepts up.

OP, just saying, I love this idea. Keep up the good work!
I've been trying to still get some ideas down; I ended up with this huge sheet of paper of... things I doodled. They looked like dream-creatures, certainly.I think I might do worlds based off colors; Not effects, but worlds. A greenhouse world, something...I also have this urge to sketch a tea-party in the sky.The only thing is I'm still stuck on how the protag would look/be named/etc... That and, while I can draw, I'm only good at editing sprites. I could attempt scratching, though.... God, this came out more as a ramble than a progress thing. xD
