Ever heard of Yume Nikki? It's a freeware game made on RPG maker and it's my faaavorite. Its numerous fangames can't live up to its haunting mystique and ambiance.
I think part of what makes Yume Nikki so successful is how inexplicable it is. We don't really know what the creator's intentions are and stuff like the Aztec/Mesamerican/Peruvian imagery is integral to the haunting mystique you mention. Most of the fangames look really cheap and inconsistent but .flow seems somewhat of a standout.

I like .flow, but to me it seems to trying too hard to be scary with all the blood/gore/rust everywhere. *shrug*
 
A CWC-themed Ao Oni type of game does sound interesting though I don't have any skills in making something on RPG Maker. Even then, that sort of game does sound fun.
Don't worry, if I do manage to start up a project, I'll be doing most of the grunt work. I would just love to ask CWCKI on what kind of CWC injokes we could use. The best I got is a puzzle involving cleaning a bathroom mirror to reveal a clue (with a terrifying surprise!)

Only one person interested, good enough for me!

Hey, go for it. We need more Chris/Sonichu fangames. I can only think of two off the top of my head, and only one of them is good.

In regards to CWC injokes, I feel you should ask someone that could be well-versed in it. Maybe ask Marvin for one.
 
So you've seen every single RPG Maker game and think they all suck?
I can only guess is that most RPG Maker games aren't all that appealing for some. Really, I played some before and the best I played were games that weren't really RPG's but did use the engine. I'm talking about a game such as Misao or Desert Nightmare, both of which are horror games.

There is no information in this sentence; you could literally say it about anything. "I can only guess that most jazz bands aren't all that appealing for some", "I can only guess that most forms of government aren't all that appealing for some.", "I can only guess that most cat breeds aren't all that appealing for some."

"Listen, I've seen movies, and I didn't much care for them. Therefore I am qualified to dismiss the entire form whole-cloth."

I suspect it's a little more of "I heard somewhere once that RPG Maker games suck and I get all my opinions from things I heard once."

Eh, in regards to the games not appealing everyone, I'm just taking a guess in that as to why some don't find an appeal in RPG Maker games. As for the other half of my post, I honestly do feel some of the best games I played from RPG Maker were horror games since they did make a game on an engine that one could only think was good for RPG's. I guess there is more to the engine than one would think. Still in regards to these games, I do wonder if there are some good RPG Maker games to recommend playing aside from the likes of Yume Nikki. Do you know of any that could be recommended?

Well yeah, the only ones I'm really interested in are the horror ones.

Is it wrong if I asked this: Would the most well known RPG Maker games be horror games? The only one I can think of that isn't horror is the controversial Super Columbine RPG.
