And one need only look at the designs for its monsters to see what we mean. But Propnight lacks one damning thing that those other titles had in spades: Identity. Lots of good games combine disparate elements from other games, like Undertale or Hollow Knight. This in and of itself isn’t a terrible idea.
Propnight makes an attempt to turn this modded experience into a standalone game, but rather than refine the game’s pre-existing strengths they made the baffling decision of trying to graft an entirely different game on top by slapping on a sort of chintzy 80s horror veneer and swapping out Team Fortress’ Pyro with a cast of killers and specters in the vein of Dead By Daylight. Essentially, it was hide-and-seek with guns. In Prop Hunt Players would turn into random Inanimate objects like tables, crates or barrels to hide in plain sight from one player who was equipped with a weapon and limited ammo.
#Propnight genre mod
Propnight lifts the majority of its gameplay from Prop Hunt, a fan-made mod of Valve’s multiplayer, Team Fortress 2. And there’s no better example of this than FNTASTIC’s asymmetrical multiplayer game, Propnight.
Because where nostalgia prevails, originality can often take a back seat.
But like any soporific, it’s best to monitor your dosage of nostalgia, especially when designing a game. After a hard day of watching the world slowly burn down from the tiny evil prism we keep in our pockets, sometimes we just want to enjoy something that feels like slipping our brains into a cozy sweater.
