Game Document Page Four-Story & Setting


A stressed out high school senior has their final exams coming up while contemplating their prom and senior trip. The senior is also a part of a championship winning team and their championship is coming up. The senior also works a part-time job that they feel is dead-end. The senior while normally composed, has had their attention and energy spread too thin among these various milestones of their life within such a short time. The teen is gradually getting anxious as they study to pass college entrance exams, their final exams, train for their team's  championship and looking for a date for the senior trip and prom. The teen's best friend is also getting anxious, however, it is more visible and starting to worry the protagonist and create tension between the two. The protagonist then starts to worry if their friendship will survive this tension as well.

The game will take place over the course of the final month of the teen's high school life. Despite being a fighting game, the story of the game will play out as a simulator, with the Story mode taking place over the span of a week within this month. The simulator will present the player with various stressful scenarios related to one of the various stressors the teen is facing. The scenarios then offer the teen a choice. Depending on the choice being made, the teen's emotions will be influenced. In order to maintain composure, the teen will have to fight a physical manifestation of an emotion related to the scenario at hand (i.e. anger, or jealousy). 

Due to the protagonist being a high school senior, the actual setting may be the teen's high school, their home, a public area where youth hang out, a place of work for a part-time job and the arena where the championship is played.  These settings will depend on the particular week of the month that is presented, as the Story mode will randomize a particular week each time it is played.
