Best Seller is not a genre, but i generally agree with eng3d.
Also...claiming a revolutionary game that hasn't even gone trough complete design phase is probably not a good idea =)

If there are lots of zombies then the scare factor decreases

not if you're overpowered and running from them (Silent Hill 3.. did that in some bits and was terrifying)

Quote: I can't think of anything creepy that can happen to you when you are in a vehicle.

a flat tire or running out of fuel in a Bad Place (tm)

Basically there seem to be two gameplay styles here, when you are travelling around (roaming) the city, and when you are inside a building. The question then is whether these two styles work well together. I think they could. Roaming could be seen as safe situation, but then entering a building the scary part.

i enjoy that in most of horror movies cars never work right. this should apply. Changing transport frequently and being at risk every time you stop moving would add to the tension. Drive trough that tunnel? what if your car breaks down? what if it's blocked?

So basically while you can free roam, the story needs to be fairly linear. I think it needs to center around locations, like this time we need to go to the town library to find out such and such - now we need to go to the such and such.

yes!

on a sidenote, i didn't give Evil Dead for PSX a second look because i thought it would suck. The owner left the CD here so i guess i'll check it out anyway.

OK My first whole idea of the game and i hope to improve, is to make it feel like you are in the actual world, in your city, and a outbreak happens with zombies crawling everywhere. But then I got to thinking and thats not what I want. There is NO zombies in this game what so ever. But there are sick and tormented creatures and monsters. Its going to be foggy and shita round town and there will be no monsters in site. Then when you leave your car. If your in one and then go in a building then that is when the creppy shit goes on. Read above post for more info.
