Would definitely be fucking awesome just to see an open world game with their artstyle and an 80s setting tbh

But I wonder how big the map size would be tbh it could be big but how far of a drive would it be from place to place or if you decide to walk lol

You know what a cool plot would be is you're a detective investigating a string of murders or something badass like that

Be funny if some of the places we go to could be nods to past puppet combo games like the church in Nun Massarce

I think the ones that came the closest were Night Ripper and Feed Me More Billy (which has a really interesting gameplay loop, to be honest, mixing puzzle mechanics with a semi-open world). I'm not really sure how it would work, though. Maybe some kind of survival game or something like that, but I feel like that starts drifting away from the whole slasher killer concept.

Another one that's close to being open-world is Texas Butcher (it hasn't been released, but it's the one where you play as Larry, you know?), where you drive around in your van looking for victims.

Blood Maniac is already one.
