I'm making a short break from Son of a Witch development while waiting for Nintendo to approve some of the builds for the Switch version, and I'm contemplating a small action arcade stealth game, similar to pac-man, but in fantasy setting (something I can create in a month or two while waiting for Nintendo). I have a prototype that looks like this currently:
And now I'm stuck on the name. The game's story isn't determined yet, but it's probably going to be about a group of adventurers going into an abandoned castle or cursed castle or dungeon or vault to steal some gold and treasures. The enemies are skeletons (could be called warriors, but I'm not sure if I want them with swords or it's enough that they chase you down), skeleton mages (similar to warriors, there is no magic attack planned, but they will be smarter in chasing you down) and dogs.
So, the name can express ideas of undead, chasing/running, gold, treasure, tower/dungeon, etc.
Here are some ideas I have so far:
- Gold of the Necromancer
- Don't get Caught
- Necromancer's Trove
- Necromancer's Stash
-
's Dare
- Quest for the golden Duck (perhaps with a gold duck at the end level)
- Necromancer's Birthday Bash
- Wizard's Birthday Bash
- Gold of the Undead
- Shindig Glitz
- Escape from Undead Tower
- Undead Heist
- Undead Vault Heist
- Gold Rush Tower
- Tower Stormers
- Tower of Necromancer
- Undead King Tower
Some of the ideas I discarded:
- Skeleton Tower (apparently this has some special meaning in English?)
- Thieves of the Undead
- Hide and Sneak (taken: Disney game)
- Tower Heist (taken: a 2011 movie)
- Tower Raiders (taken: Android game)
- Vault Raiders (taken: itch.io game)
I'm currently using "Undead Heist" as a working title:
Does that even sound good for you native speakers?
Any help or brainstorming ideas are very welcome!
