Read the full Starter recipe

Build a small, playable browser game inspired by "Dreadline" (Horror).
Concept: It already knows you opened this.
Tech: use Vanilla JS / Canvas; keep it to a single page that loads instantly with no login or install.
Controls: touch controls (tap/drag) that work on a phone plus keyboard and mouse on desktop, shown on a short how-to-play screen.
Players: single-player.
Steps: 1) get the core mechanic playable with placeholder shapes, 2) add win/lose conditions and restart, 3) polish feel, visuals and sound, 4) add your own twist (setting, character or one new rule).
Make it your own: don't copy the original's name, art, text or code.

Remix notes (our suggestions, not the creator's)

Dreadline is a Vanilla JS / Canvas horror game with a pitch that does the scaring for you: It already knows you opened this. It's tagged Horror and marked mobile-ready. That line points to a kind of horror only browser games can do, the kind that seems to notice you, the player, not just your character. Remix idea (our suggestion): keep the 'the game is watching' idea and use it gently and fairly. A game might react to the time of day, how long you hesitated, or whether you came back. Always stay respectful of privacy and never collect personal data. Prompting tip: ask your AI tool for small, local tricks (timing, idle detection, the tab title changing) rather than anything invasive. Build tension with sound and pauses. The best scares come from waiting, so prompt for long silences and one well-timed surprise.

Publish it, then polish later

host it free on Netlify. Once the core game works, optionally add voice or sound with ElevenLabs or 3D assets with Meshy. Netlify, ElevenLabs and Meshy are affiliate links; we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. None of these extras is required to build the core game.
