I would suggest adding very strong feelings, for example the stalker is so in love with his “victim” that (his loves) becomes mania and obsession. When the victim realizes that there is someone in her closset (the stalker) show her feeling so tense throughout the whole episode that she gets easily startled, feeling that someone is following her while no one does, gets very clumsy, constantly looking around her and gets very anxious if she see the same person in several places… for me this is a good thriller.

Add mystery obviously and cliff hangers are extremely important. For making it interactive, you can give timed choices, mini games, typed in choices too. Make sure not to pace the story too slow or too fast. Keep the readers guessing throughout the story and maybe include unexpected incidents/endings.

  • plan who the suspect is from the beginning. Give some clues, but try to make them the least obvious possible, for example: who was there and who wasn’t, the murder’s expresion… Those details that no one notices. At the end, join all of the clues and make something unexpected.

  • the murderer to be someone close, someone we all loved and no one suspected. That makes a huge plot twist.

  • Everything happens for a reason, try to not to add unnecessary things (unless they are fake clues to confuse the characters/reader or for us (the readers) to think the murderer is someone else).

i think it’d be good to focus on characterization! not forgetting, ensuring your opening scene has plenty of action :partying_face:

other ways could be, your main characters have to change emotionally, make your characters miserable by asking yourself what is the worst thing that could happen to your protagonist and make it worse; give them grief, false hope, heartaches, anxiety, and near-death experiences. :bomb:

hope these suggestions help! :purple_heart:
