There is a big untapped female market.

hmm... are you saying guy games don't have much of a story or girl games shouldn't?
To be honest i've noticed girls care less about storylines, you'll find more will play Quake3 for its senseless violence or TheSims for its pure insanity than you will see one playing something like AloneInTheDark or Noir ... when it comes to computer games girls like them simple and to the point, stuff like WinMine/MiceMen/Tetris/etc...
Once you put a story behind the game somehow they loose interest, and to be honest it baffles me to why because if you see the kinds of films they watch, and thier TV programs they have to be laced with so many misdirectional storylines its hard to follow whats going on, or have a really cute guy in them.
that aside ------------------------
i like the current feel of the game with the Black&White old camera style, perhaps i'd get rid of that line at the side though, kinda blocks the view and is a little bleck - but it really captures the essence of the game.
The storyline of the game, and actual structure though will heavily depend on what you want the player to actually do... i mean there is a new game for the XBox where rather than killing with weapons you have to take picutes of ghosts kinda like "Night of the Dead" the better the capture of it, the more you hurt it until it disappears.
what i'd suggest would probably be, you have that camera effect for ingame movies to add atmosphere, keep with the B&W look ... just get rid of the camera effect for actual gameplay - rather than a first person you could have it 3rd person, and you have an array of weapons that aren't actually weapons but will make things disappear that appear... so perhaps for ghosties you have a touch which keeps them at bay, and for vampires perhaps holding a cross up so they back off - if the main character is female then for bats you could have her do that prissy airslap girls do when things get in thier hair.
The story could be that you have a bunch of friends doing a Saonce(or however you spell it) within some creepy old masion but something goes wrong and you accidentally let out some creepy forces. In the processes your friends disappear so you go hunting around the masion trying to find them, perhaps have simplistic puzzles to find keys and get access to new areas - get your friends free and try to survive until dawn
perhaps have them find out about why the creepy old masion was actually abandoned, have to let some little girls soul free or something lol
you've probably watched more horror films than me to figure out a good story line. If you start in the creepy yard with your mates, and every so often the room they go into have cut scenes of say a ghosties at the window tapping, and when your character screams for her friends to look its gone (in true horror stylee lol)
yup that'd be awesome have a game where you don't actually shot or fight anything you just have the living poop scared outta you hehee
Within the Epic battle of the fates the Shadow and the Angel will meet. With it will harbinger the very fight of good vs evil!
