Stuff like character types, skills, and starting equipment would be something to negotiate at the start, probably with the GM. "Secret" parts could be checked over PMs. Another thing: Setting. Is it a town? A building? An island? Ancient ruins? Wilderness? Is it naturally isolated, made is...

Have you tried Yume Nikki at all? It's great for some of that stuff, aside from being all fun and atmospheric to begin with. Regarding status colors: Blue(fine) -> green(mild) -> yellow(moderate) -> red(severe) -> purple(Oh crap!) -> Gray(useless/missing/dead) Regarding injury/madness: Think of some...

Well, the basic idea is taken from one of the expansions to Arkham Horror, where it was one of the most sensible rules, and also has plenty of room for roleplay. Also, might I suggest black or gray for completely destroyed?

You say that with a distasteful amount of aloofness, methinks. But eh, tones, internet, etc.

Infinite lives takes out part of the fun- unless, of course, it just goes until you're completely insane and become either useless or a psychopath. It's a survival horror, so there needs to be a way to not survive, as it is.

Dorf Fortress does that. Or something close to it. It monitors individual layers of skin . For injuries/phobias, you could also give them "levels". Example: A wrist could be sore, sprained, broken, or severed entirely. You could extend phobias/neuroses with the same level, from "dogs ...

They usually seem to be more interested in "tentacles," from my memory. Except maybe Nyarlathotep, he/she/it/they go(es) in for about everything.

I'd be willing to work on this! It sounds fun, plus, I like making mechanics. In a very Call of Cthulu-style, you could have Physical/Mental condition- In short, injury/insanity. These could, for simplicity's sake, take the form of specific "injuries" you have, like a broken arm, bleeding,...

Well it looks like I'm in the market for a new joystick, because PSO's mouse and keyboard controls, while a nice idea, are absolutely terrible.

I do not have hipster glasses!

Well, I did, for one. But it always makes me feel all giddy when other people say I'm cute~

Month supply of gummy bears.

Would you rather your skin turn blue or green?

I believe so, yes. A wooden t-rex skeleton model kit, from... god, 12 years ago? My older brother made it.

Kamisama No Memo-chou is good so far! A bit like gosick, but with successful mystery, rather than some psuedo-magic asspull at the end of every episode. Also, has a great main character. He, realistically, needs an oxygen mask after bluffing the yakuza.
