So, I'm developing a video game and I'd like to tell you all about it

The name of the game is Symphonix, and it's a turn-based style RPG, It's main color code is Purple, black, and white

DISCLAIMER: If you don't like scary stuff, like at all, then maybe don't read the story

Story and Setting

The game takes place in 1996, in a different timeline from our real world. The game begins as a group of teenagers standing in an empty classroom of their high school, playing a game called "Master Syphon", which is a paranormal game, similar to the Candy Man, or the Mary Jane Mirror Game. Before playing, the player, who takes the role of a silent protagonist (currently Naorin as the canon name), chooses in a bet between the characters Brown and Masao. Brown betting that they'll start seeing spirits, while Masao betting nothing will happen (this choice takes a very big part of the story later on in the game). After the group plays the game. A lost spirit that takes the form of a small child holding a teddy bear can be seen. As it says the words "help me". The room is then filled with heavy wind and electricity, Lightning then strikes the characters Yukino, Nanijo, Masao, and the protagonist. 

After being struck, the group is sent to a world between the collective consciousness, and unconsciousness, called the "Area of Realms". Where they're greeted by a masked man named Philemon. Who explains to them what might happen in the next few days, or even hours. And the powers that they will obtain during these events. After waking up from this dream, the group, Yukino, Masao, the protagonist, and Nanijo go to their local city's hospital for a check-up, as well as visit their friend Mai, who's been hospitalized for the past year at that point. While in the middle of the conversation with the group and Mai, Mai experiences a migraine that forces the group to leave while doctors attend to her. While outside the medical room, an earthquake strikes the city causing the party to tumble. When it subsides, Masao attempts to check on Mai. But when the door opens, the room is gone. All that can be seen is the wall of the hospital blocking any view there could be. Sounds of alarm are then heard by the group from the bottom floor of the hospital. Upon arriving there, the group is confronted by undead patients at the hospital and the group is pulled into a fight. While the group hastily tries to figure out what to do, the protagonist suddenly hears a voice in his head, that states "Thou art I, and I am thou, from the sea of thy soul I cometh, to show strength of what is within". the protagonist then raises their head and shouts "Syphon!" while a figure that resembles the Buddhist god of wind, Seimen Kongou (pronounced "Saimon Kongo", btw) appears behind the protagonist and wipes out all enemies. The group is then one by one awakened to their Syphons as more enemies arrive. After a while the group realizes that they have been transported to a demon-filled labyrinth that's a variation of the real world. The rest of the story will be explained in the game.


What are Syphons?

To put it simply, Syphons are physical manifestation of your personas and alter-egos which take the forms of gods and demons. They are able to do magic attacks, healing, curses, and other moves in the game


Characters

The Protagonist:

The protagonist mostly stays silent, unless you count the shouts of "Syphon!" in the game and his other in game noises. You can name the character anything you want, his canon name being Naorin Todo. His design, drawn by me, currently looks like this:

Nanijo:

Nanijo is the heir to the Trinity Family Trust, he is very bossy and a know-it-all


Yukino:

Yukino is a very trustworthy girl, with respect from many students at the high school


Masao:

Masao is a city kid who misbehaves a lot in class, though he actually is pretty smart


Brown:

Brown is like Masao, but a total airhead


Mai

Mai is usually a very cheerful girl, who has straight As in her classes, despite not being a know-it-all like Nanjo


Gameplay:

The game is a mix of being overhead, first-person dungeon crawling, and board-based combat. In this combat system, a board is set for the player's party and the enemy's party. Certain attacks for certain party members will not be able to hit unless they are on a designated part of the board. But you may change the party's board placement at any time. The game has random encounters while traversing  the world. In these fights, the player will select the move they want for each party member, and if the player's party has overall higher agility, they will take their attacks first. Same with the enemy.


Wow. did you really read all this? Just, wow. Thanks. But unfortunately that's all I have to say right now, let me know any questions you might have
