🌗 When Checkpoints Turn Haunted 🌗
My WIP started with a light idea: checkpoints inspired by grocery shopping 🛒. Easy, cozy, everyday.
But then I asked myself → what happens when the trolley suddenly enters a section haunted by bad spirits? 👻
Like the IKEA-style warehouse aisles where the lights flicker… or the wet market section with that fishy smell 🐟.
That’s where the duality comes in. The same checkpoint can feel safe in one arc, but eerie in another. It’s both a save point and a narrative trigger.
This lets me play with player emotions:
• 🕯️ Relief when you reach a checkpoint.
• 🕷️ Dread when it’s haunted instead.
Everyday life → flipped into a dark layer. That’s how my Dark MapleWorld Layers is slowly shaping up. 🌌
