If a monster is like a nightmare incarnate, i suggest renaming it naemon. We get the familiar "monster" part, the "nae" being a mix of dae (as in daemon) and night (from nightmare).

And is the miasma also a manifestation of the mind, like negative thoughts that leak out and then condense ? If so, maybe calling it "thog" (thought + fog) would work ?


For Collie's nightmare, since you are using a comic depicting Savitr and she fantasizes about him, you could have her, in a pinch, improvise a parry to a deadly blow with the comic, and then, since we're in her mind and anything's possible, Savitr would come out of the comic, repel the blow, and help her from the side. Her inner deity helping her defeat her inner demon, both being manifested from her thoughts, seems quit consistent ? Savitr could disappear at the end sayin he's not really there, he's in her, i mean, the light in her, always there to fight her darkness.

Would you pronounce the start of daemon and nightmare the same?? Ideally I want something that strongly suggests 'illusory' or 'solid hallucination' or 'mental figment', rather than just 'evil thing', but it's tricky! Usually with things like this I'll play around with a bunch of things, rejecting a bunch until something just clicks, eureka-like. I'm not there yet!

Also, thog: [LINK]

Ha, as striking a scene as that might be, the logistical difficulties of animating a scene with Savitr emerging from a held-up comic prop makes me squirm! I've mostly got something now, most of which was structured around ease of development, and it's kind of the same idea maybe?? This is just the literal intro though, so it shouldn't feel resolved.

I wouldn't pronounce it the same of course, but your game isn't vocalized, and when i read it it doesn't strike me as odd. Well, english is not my main language, so...

Darn, there really is a word for any and everything on the net nowadays. Makes it way harder to find something original.
