Scooby-Doo Meets Interactive Drama: A Dream Come True?
As a long-time fan of Scooby-Doo, I’ve always been fascinated by the franchise’s ability to reinvent itself. From the classic cartoon series to the live-action movies, Scooby-Doo has consistently found ways to stay fresh and exciting. But what if I told you that I’ve been dreaming of a Scooby-Doo game made in the style of Until Dawn or The Quarry? A Mystery Inc. caper as an interactive drama, where I get to immerse myself in the world and story.
The idea may seem far-fetched, but hear me out. Imagine a game where you play as Shaggy, Scooby, Velma, Daphne, or Fred, navigating through a spooky mansion or creepy carnival, solving puzzles and uncovering clues to unravel a mysterious plot. The game would be designed in the style of Supermassive Games’ works, with quick-time events, branching narratives, and multiple endings.
The setting could be anywhere - a haunted theme park, an abandoned asylum, or even a creepy summer camp. The possibilities are endless, and the game could be released during the Halloween season to add to the spooky atmosphere.
I’d love to see a game that combines the best of Scooby-Doo with the interactive drama of Until Dawn or The Quarry. It would be a dream come true for fans of the franchise and gamers alike.
