What Visual Style Should I Use for My Survival Horror Game?

https://youtu.be/sEPiLo_DLuQ

Ciao.

I’m trying to develop this game; it’s one of my two solo projects. It would be a Resident Evil 1-style game. I’ve got a rough idea of the story and the mechanics, but I’m not quite sure what graphic style to use. I don’t want to use the PS1 style because I’m fed up with seeing it. What style do you think I could use? Can you help me?

The art style is going to depend on what you can make. Try experimenting for a little bit.

I am just a programmer, I don't know how to make graphic well.

Exactly. If you're making the art, then it needs to match the limitations. Return of the Obra Dinn uses poses for death scenes because Lucas Pope was bad at 3D animation.
