Ideas you can use for #ludumdare48's theme "deeper and deeper" that aren't roguelikes or mining simulators (a thread)

#gamedev #LudumDare

• Alice falling down the rabbit hole

• Falling in love

• Learning to swim in a pool

• Guessing the depth of a well by how long it takes to hear a splash

• An obsession (romantic or hobby or otherwise)

• Looking into a painting or photograph to see more and more detail

• Investigating a mystery

• Rip tides at a beach

• Exploring in a submarine

• Exploring Wikipedia articles

• Getting deeper into trouble at school

• being a piece of food that gets swallowed

• pick the colour which is the deepest shade of red (saturation/value)

• going deeper into clouds

• climbing deeper into the mountains or jungle

• a game that gets progressively darker

• something that gets progressively more emotionally meaningful
