Overall Plot
The protagonist (named Led), who is a servant robot, wakes up after several years on an abandoned ship (Bow Location) without any memory of what has happened. It soon questions what has happened to its master and why it has its memory corrupted. At the same time, it realizes that the ship is about to sink. Its goal is to find what happened to its master, to the rest of the humans, to restore its memory, and abandon the ship (ideally with its master). The player’s goal initially is to find the robot’s missing limbs (a hand and a leg), then navigate the ship in order to complete the rest of its goals. Some of the most important robot NPCs it comes in contact with are the Captain, a security robot, and a vacuum bot. Near the end it finds out that an EMP bomb blew up near their ship that set it off course and crashed on a sea cliff, 35 years ago. The EMP is also the reason our protagonist lost its memory and most of the other robots stopped functioning. Led finds and replaces corrupted components that restore its memory and then it is reminded of its master, who was a little boy at the time. It finds evidence that the ship was evacuated (the lifeboats are missing). After meeting with the captain, it finds the evidence it was looking for through a log: that its master onboarded a lifeboat. Led manages to use the last lifeboat to escape. The closing image shows a group of people wearing masks approaching Led. The robot sees that one of the people has a medallion similar to the one the boy had. The game ends there.

Environment/mechanics : The player will navigate through 6 locations in a static environment. We are thinking of them being drawn in a static format as the World Ends With You (DS). There, the player will interact with other (static) robot NPCs, will solve a few puzzles that will help them restore their memory and solve the mystery of what happened to humanity. There will be no battle mechanic involved.

Genre: 2d adventure game with some mystery elements in a sci-fi setting.

Our goal: This is a free game aimed at portfolio purposes and obtain much-needed experience.

Total gameplay time: we’re striving for anything between 10-30 minutes long.

What has been done so far: We’re in the early, concept stages. Right now we’re designing the narrative path and the Game Design Doc.

Previous projects: All of our previous projects rely heavily on narration and text. Here - https://funigami.itch.io/ you can see what we’ve made so far. This game though will give more emphasis on puzzle-solving and mystery.

Team:
Our team currently has 2 programmers, 1 composer, 2 writers, and 1 artist, but we could use the help of another sprite artist.
