[Victoria Concept Art]
The Concept:
'My Monster' follows Victor or Victoria Frankenstein (You choose the gender).
The game will start off with your chosen character well into the mad scientist process of creating a monster. You'll be given several questions and your answers will determine which of the 5 monster types you will create (Vampire, Werewolf, Patchwork, Ghost or Mummy). You also get to choose your monster's gender, so that means GxB, GxG, and BxB are all playable options in the game! Yay!
This start off pretty cute but gets existential fast. Will you teach your monster to love and be loved? Will the pressure of playing God be too much, causing you to abandon your creation? Or will you use this abomination for evil and try to take over the world. Each path has some serious consequences.
Sure the monsters are all pretty dreamy, but they're still born out of your madness, so to speak, and have some serious flaws to cope with.
In addition to your monster, your lab assistant (female) and your rival (male) are also romance-able in the game.
The Style:
I want to go for a retro anime/manga meets pop art sort of feel since i'm a big fan of both. I loved the anime movie version of Metropolis and it's a big inspiration for this game in both style and theme.
All characters will represent a sort of highly stylized teen movie high school click stereotype.
Victor and Victoria (whichever you choose to play as) is fairly emo/goth as you would expect a modern day brooding mad scientist to be.
The vampires will be your wealthy preppy types. Dressed to the nines in designer clothes and perfectly groomed.
The werewolves will be your punk rocker type with a hint of 90's grunge.
The typical Frankenstein's monster will be very jockish with your classic letterman jackets.
The ghost option will be your hipster (they were dead BEFORE it was cool).
And to round it out you have your geeky Mummies.
In Summary:
It'll be pretty campy like a 90's teen movie but with a surprising amount of existential depth in the storyline. Like all my projects I want it to have plenty of diversity in race/gender/sexuality while not pandering.
Does this seem like something you'd want to play?
