    Far Cry Nightmares a Far Cry 5 spin-off using '80s horrors inspiration

    Far Cry Nightmares would be the horror equivalent of Blood Dragon, adding zombies, vampires, werewolves, ghosts and witches as enemies, each specific to an area, with a Jason Vorhees always in pursuit of you from the start of the game, a Freddy Krueger trippy boss encounter and the inbred mutants a la Wrong Turn and the Hills Have Eyes for the main antagonists, with some minibosses from The Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween.

    - The game would take place in an alternate timeline, also happening in present day, where a curse would befall Happy County (whose sign would have Terror written in blood over Happy), which gives birth to these undead creatures, a curse made by a strong, Sexy Witch which attempts to clear the land of the inbred mutant filth and it's ilk.

    - You should be able to choose between sexy witches, posh vampires or manly werewolves for your allies in the fight against the mutant inbreds and the Sexy Witch if you choose vampires or werewolves. The zombies should be heard screaming or growling for brains and depicted with a hollow, broken in cranium and move slowly but in large numbers with flanking capabilities (they can have cellphones attached to their hands or other such equipment). Ghosts are fallen soldiers who shriek of anger at their undying state and terrify you, affecting your aim and quickly floating towards you for a melee attack.

    - Jason Vorhees (which given Friday the 13th video game is out, should be fairly easy to get rights for the purpose of advertising) would act like a Nemesis from Resident Evil 3, only in an open world, with the only way to stop him for an amount of time (which would scale to your character's level, lower level = higher time, higher level = lower time to respawn), would be to fight him until he's left unconscious or hurt badly that he retreats in the darkness to heal his wounds. He would only appear at night with the infamous whispering soundtrack when in close proximity to you. If left unkilled for the whole game, he'll act like a boss upon completing 3/4s of the game and get stronger the more left unchecked until the end of game. He'll automatically trigger at full strength before engaging last boss, so you can't miss him.

    - Freddy Krueger would act like the middle boss, which would take you on a trippy nightmare sequence, where you have to fight the mutants from the first Far Cry, the zombified corpses both with guns and melee from the enemies in Far Cry 2,3 and 4 (distinguished by their disheveled specific uniforms/apparel) and a plethora of creatures from Blood Dragon and Primal coming in waves, finally ending with a Thing like monster that is Freddy. After killing escaping the nightmare, you have to kill and banish his, now tired and drained out human form.

    - The final boss will be a demon spawn from all the souls taken by the curse, which upon appearing will instantly impale the Sexy Witch with it's spiky tail and absorb her essence and all of the remaining Witches, regardless of your choice.

    - Most animals in the game are zombified except the ones in the werewolves area, where you can encounter a werebear, werebull, etc., some ghost mammoths and sabertooths in the ghosts area and random gremlins spawning around the map which can be found playing with fire, trying to build a tribe, gathering resources or fighting other creatures or enemies in the game (very useful to create a distraction used to escape more powerful enemies, however if engaged in combat, can quickly overwhelm you).

    - Progression in the game is made by pushing back the inbred mutants with the help of your allies (while also hunting their enemies) from the various villages, settlements and small city.

    That's what I've thought of so far, so I could use some input and opinions for a more refined content.

    If done right, that could be an interesting DLC/standalone game, especially if it's as over the top and satirical as Blood Dragon. Blood Dragon kind of reminded me of Timesplitters, which had solid gameplay and over the top humor. I'd be down for more stuff like that, despite my usual preference for realism.
