The Shining
Story:
Jack Torrance takes a winter caretaker position at the remote Overlook Hotel in the Rocky Mountains, which closes every winter season. After his arrival, Manager Stuart Ullman advises Torrance that a previous caretaker, Charles Grady, killed his family and himself in the hotel.
In Boulder, Jack's son, Danny, has a premonition and seizure. Jack's wife, Wendy, tells the doctor about a past incident when Jack dislocated Danny's shoulder during a drunken rage. The incident convinced Jack to stop drinking alcohol. Before leaving for the seasonal break, head chef Dick Hallorann informs Danny of a telepathic ability the two share, which he calls "shining". Hallorann tells Danny the hotel also has a "shine" due to residues from unpleasant past events, and warns him to avoid Room 237.
Danny starts having frightening visions, including one of two twin sisters. Meanwhile, Jack's mental health deteriorates; he gets nowhere with his writing, is prone to violent outbursts, and has dreams of killing his family. Danny gets physically bruised after visiting an unlocked Room 237 out of curiosity. Jack encounters a female ghost in the room, but blames Danny for self-inflicting the bruises. Jack is enticed back to drinking by the ghostly bartender Lloyd. Ghostly figures, including Delbert Grady, then begin appearing in the Gold Room. Grady informs Jack that Danny has reached out to Hallorann using his "talent", and says that Jack must "correct" his wife and child.
Wendy finds Jack's manuscript with "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" written over and over again. When Jack threatens her life, Wendy knocks him unconscious with a baseball bat and locks him in the kitchen pantry, but she and Danny cannot leave due to Jack having previously sabotaged the hotel's two-way radio and snowcat. Back in their hotel room, Danny is saying redrum multiple times and even writes the word on the bathroom door. Wendy sees the word in the mirror and realizes that the word spells out "murder" backwards. Jack is freed by Grady and goes after Wendy and Danny with an axe. Danny escapes outside through the bathroom window, and Wendy fights Jack off with a knife when he breaks through the door. Hallorann, having flown back to Colorado after Danny's telepathic SOS, reaches the hotel in another snowcat. His arrival distracts Jack, who ambushes and murders Hallorann in the lobby, then pursues Danny into the hedge maze. Wendy runs through the hotel looking for Danny, encountering the hotel's ghosts and a vision of cascading blood similar to Danny's premonition.
In the hedge maze, Danny misleads Jack and hides behind a snowdrift while Jack follows a false trail. Danny and Wendy reunite and leave in Hallorann's snowcat, leaving Jack to freeze to death in the maze. In a photograph in the hotel hallway, Jack is pictured standing amidst a crowd of party revelers from July 4, 1921.

your special attack lunge needs more description as when i read it, all i can think of is a mixture of pig and Myers. The midnight stars and you idea is an interesting concept but this dialogue will waist alot of jacks time (how long is it?) and the benefits from wasting it are minimal. The gen speed down is a bit iffy, survivors could instead heal up and loot chests during this dialogue to make up for lost time. The speed down should be removed all together during it as it would clash with penitmento and dying light.
Special attack: Lunge
Upon holding the active ability button (2.5s), jacks movement speed is reduced to 3.0m/s. Jack leaps forward five meters instantly putting a survivor into the dying state, if a unsuccessful he is stunned for three seconds, successful hit will stun him for 2 seconds, leaping towards/through one of his breakable walls they instantly break and his attack animation continues until he reaches his maximum range, if a survivor is hit he has no hit cooldown and his lunge ability is reset, if he misses his attack goes on cooldown and doesnt have a miss cooldown.
A suggestion... Special ability 2: Heres Johnny
Jack Starts the trail with seven charges. Two are already used. Hold the active ability button for 2 seconds and while looking at a wall you may place a breakable wall, these walls can be broken 20 percent quicker, highlighted in a white aura when within a 5 meter radius, when placing a breakable wall an orange aura will show that you can place it in said location whereas a red aura will show that it cant be placed in that location. Survivors can place a barricade on the placed wall which will remove the 20 percent breaking bonus (interaction takes 3 seconds for the survivors to perform).
Upon using lunge and dashing through a breakable wall: "heres Johnny"

Yes, I would certainly love to see a shining chapter, or even doctor sleep.

I’d love a Shining chapter but as far as the bar mechanics above I think having something which stops the game with a quick time event over and over is too disruptive and repetitive. Quick time dialogs are only really interesting the first few times you see them. You should consider making something a little more fluid that doesn’t interrupt the action.

I wouldn't focus on the wall breaking part because it's an overused quote and meme, I'd rather focus on how he goes insane and gets more and more crazy the more he stays in the hotel.
