Choosing theme for an adventure game

Posted 24 September 2012 - 08:00 AM

Hello,
I'm making a casual adventure game (hidden objects, hidden clues, etc.). Travel the world, uncover secrets, explore hidden places, solve puzzles, etc. I hope everyone will like it.
However I can't decide about the theme of the adventure. Could you please help me find the most appealing setup? Thank you.

The reasoning for my choice being the last one is that it should be the easiest to create for you.

It's a story - what story do you want to tell? The nice thing is you can do anything you want. The hard part about that is, deciding what you want.

What sort of game do you have in mind - is this a text adventure in the infocom mode, or a more visual thing?

it's a visual adventure (mostly hidden objects, but i'll try to use other minigames aswell to fresh it up), kinda like the ones BigFish games is making
but instead of 2D graphics (which are cotly) i'd plan to use pictures from imagebanks (and adjust them ofcourse to fi the scene)

imo something like the relic "Relic Hunter" would be nice - mostly realistic
