Forza Horizon: Duskfall

An idea for a Forza Horizon spin-off without any of the "kiddie" stuff that the main games have, as inspired by this article. I imagine the game's tone being closer to the works of Yoko Tarō (Drakengard, NieR), which means Forza Horizon: Duskfall will be a very depressing deconstruction of racing games (and also calling them out as power fantasies) but with enough comedy to balance it out (such as the NPCs all being unflattering versions of popular automotive YouTubers like ThatDudeinBlue and Drew Peacock, and the Forzavista narrator, who may or may not be Mr. Regular from Regular Car Reviews, being brutally honest when describing the cars), and even a happy ending (but still bittersweet). The game will take place in a version of Bangkok, Thailand (so all cars must drive on the left and have RHD model interiors) depicted as a totalitarian police state (to contrast the colorful scenery of the main Horizon games, the skies are always tinted gray and the background is mostly composed of Brutalist structures, which may cause the player to fall asleep), where the Horizon Festival has been banned from being held there as a result of the last festival ending up like Woodstock '99, but three times worse. Developed by Slightly Mad Studios, who have renamed themselves Not Okay Studios in an attempt to fix their reputation after that game.

## Cars

Unlike the main Forza Horizon games, Duskfall won't hand cars out to the player like candy, at all.

1. 2006 Alpina B7
2. 2022 Audi R8 GT (acts as the cover car and is driven by the player character, but gets wrecked in the opening)
3. 2006 Audi S8
4. 2019 Audi TTS
5. 2004 BMW M3 CSL (complete with rear subframe issues, to troll the M3 GTR fanbase)
6. 2008 BMW M6 (complete with engine reliability issues)
7. 2008 Chevrolet Epica
8. 1969 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi (a black one gets blown up in the opening, and whoever blew it up says "I can care less about your stupid family, Tom!" as they see the car in flames)
9. 2010 Ford Crown Victoria
10. 2018 Ford Mustang EcoBoost (hey, what's wrong with not having a V8?)
11. 1986 Ford Tempo
12. 2010 Honda Accord V6 Sedan
13. 2018 Infiniti Q70 5.6 AWD (they'll be EVERYWHERE in this game's version of Bangkok, as they serve as police cars along with the Crown Vic and S 65 AMG)
14. 2011 Isuzu MU-7 3000 VGS Turbo
15. 2022 Kia Stinger GT
16. 2020 Lexus LS 500
17. 2002 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R (gets wrecked in the opening)
18. 2012 Mercedes Benz S 65 AMG
19. 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 (one of the only cars in the opening to survive being wrecked)
20. 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (a green one gets flipped over by the rioters in the opening)
21. 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT
22. 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 GLX (just to laugh at players who were expecting the Lancer Evo models)
23. 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer EX GT (again, to make fun of players)
24. 2017 Nissan GT-R Premium (gets wrecked in the opening)
25. 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Nür (one gets wrecked violently in the opening cutscene, along with several other famously overhyped cars)
26. 2012 Subaru Exiga 2.0GT
27. 2008 Subaru Legacy B4 S402
28. 2022 Tesla Model S Plaid (if you're tired of Elon Musk and/or his legion of fans, then you'll feel happy when dozens of them get wrecked in the opening)
29. 2018 Toyota Alphard
30. 1998 Toyota Starlet Glanza V (the only starter car available after the player character loses their R8 in the opening, mostly to humiliate Forza Horizon fanboys who seem to be used to instant gratification by giving them a pathetic grocery-getter rather than something with 9000 hp)
31. 1993 Toyota Supra 2.5 GT Twin Turbo
32. 1995 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo (an orange one gets wrecked in the opening)
33. 2010 Volvo S80 V8 AWD (also commonly used as police cars here)

## Cop cars

For the first time in a Forza Horizon game, cops will appear in free-roam, and also in races. These cops are rather ruthless in their methods (which include showing up from nowhere in large numbers), so be careful when encountering them.

1. 2010 Ford Crown Victoria (Cop Brutality Level 1)
2. 2012 Subaru Exiga 2.0GT (Cop Brutality Level 2)
3. 2010 Volvo S80 V8 AWD (Cop Brutality Level 2)
4. 2022 Kia Stinger GT (Cop Brutality Level 2 & 3)
5. 2018 Infiniti Q70 5.6 AWD (Cop Brutality Level 3 & 4)
6. 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat (Cop Brutality Level 4 & 5)
7. 2015 Lexus LX 570 (Cop Brutality Level 4 & 5)
8. 2012 Mercedes Benz S65 AMG (Cop Brutality Level 4-6)
9. 2005 Ford Excursion XLT (Cop Brutality Level 5 & 6, this could make for a competent Rhino)

## Traffic cars

To help compliment the sense of lifelessness of the game's setting, all traffic cars can only be found in monochromatic colors.

1. 2013 Toyota Camry
2. 1983 Volvo 244 DL (the quintessential boring car)
