In interesting idea would be to waive a protagonist's name.
Because WE, the player, IS the protagonist, and not playing someone who's name is Daniel.
That also would mean the player is a NOBODY. No hero, no virtual protagonist, just a normal human like WE are. His name is not important.

Tell a story where we are not part of it, just trapped into a horrifying journey and find out what's going on there.

That would be a very uninteresting game. That only works in rpgs where you are either able to make choices or rpgs where your character is just in for the ride and has no effect on the world at all.

What I mean is that you can have uber immersion without having a nameless character. Anyone who's familiar to the genre knows how to get him/herself into the situation, regardless if the character's named or whatever.

I've felt deeply immersed in all the Penumbras and Amnesias and I'm not a 30 year old man with father issues/questionable reasoning/insane and disturbed. lol

Honestly, I hope they announce this project soon. Would make a good change of pace instead of going through the same cycle we're going through now.
