Plot
You play as the protagonist, James. The game starts with him waking up in an unfamiliar room. It is quickly discovered that he, as well as 9 others, have been kidnapped. The game is centered around their exploration of the amusement park they are trapped in, as well as their escape attempts, and their investigation of the people who kidnapped them.
Characters:
James
James is the protagonist of the story. He's 17, very passionate about music, and is often found playing his guitar, writing songs. He's easily angered, but cools off quickly, and doesn't hold grudges. He doesn't like being told what to do, but can recognize a good idea, and will generally go along with it. He's a rebel, and isn't above breaking the law, mostly to get noticed by his rich parents.
April
April is only 14, the youngest of the people who were kidnapped. She likes drawing, and is really talented, although she doesn't think she is. She's a bit shy, but once she opens up, she is easily excited and acts goofy. She knows when to be serious, though, but always tries her best to lighten the mood. She loves socializing and talking to people, and will always choose working together over working alone.
Terry
Terry is 15, and is very antisocial. They're reserved, and don't fancy talking to people, but have a great sense of humor, and will defend things they're passionate about, especially anything to do with sexual, romantic, and gender identity. They don't get angry easily, but have no problem resorting to insults if necessary. If someone uses a homophobic slur, that person is forever dead to them.
P
P is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. They're very antisocial, and it takes a lot to get them to open up. No one really knows a lot about them, and it's extremely difficult to get close to them. They're very insecure and paranoid, but come off as confident, and have a honed skillset that makes people wonder about their past.
Jen
Jen is 18, and attended military school for 7 years. She's very tough due to that, and could beat anyone in a fight. Despite all this, she's really insecure, and takes everything that people say about her to heart. She's good at concealing her weakness, but even she has a limit, and gets very emotional when she hits it.
Carlee
Carlee is 17, and generally very sweet and quiet. She doesn't like to be loud, but enjoys socializing with people she's close to. She never gets angry, but when someone insults one of her close friends, she'll speak up and defend them. She is often found in small out-of-the-way parks, trying to find a quiet place to read, or just taking some time away from people. If she doesn't want to be found, she won't be.
Sam
Sam is 15, and is a total snob. He doesn't believe talking to people he considers 'below him' is a good way to spend his time. He's a published author, which is where he gets his sense of worth, but his personality causes problems in the group. For him, first impressions are everything, so if he decides someone is below him, he won't be convinced otherwise.
Robert
Robert is 18, and the most nonchalant guy ever, almost to the point of indifference. His main focus is having a good time, kicking back and having fun. He is often accused of not caring, which isn't true at all. He is always terrified, and covers it up by pretending not to care. As long as he's just lying around, doing nothing to trigger his terror, he can forget about that constant fear.
Mathew
Mathew is 16, and he is very shy. His social skills are far from refined, and although he longs for social interaction, he's constantly worried that he'll say something wrong and mess everything up. Because of this, he's a total pushover, and will do pretty much anything that people ask him too. He once had to transfer schools because everyone was taking advantage of him, and it sent him into a deep depression.
Caleb
Caleb is 19, the oldest one of them. He gets angry really easily, is very violent, and is quick to jump to conclusions. He considers himself a great fighter, someone really tough, and can't handle being beaten. However, he is very protective of April, who he views as a little sister, and will mess up anyone who messes with her.
Do you have any feedback for me? Maybe your thoughts on the characters, or on the plot? Please let me know, I'd love to hear what you think!!
