My game will have a cat storekeeper and a bulldog player character. The bulldog is an adventurer who has found themselves lost in a great forest of maple trees in the fall. The trees tower up into the sky and disappear into mist. The Cat is selling memories and when the bulldog learns the answer to the Cat\u2019s riddle it will tell it how to leave the forest so that it can resume its journey. The forest is lit by gold sunlight filtering in through the crowns of the trees. As far as the eye can see there are only trees, patches of grass, and the occasional outcrop of stone. It is early afternoon and the weather is a bit foggy. If the player looks around they can find a tree showing themself sleeping in a clearing in the real world. The memories that the Cat is selling are what the player must interact with. They are ornate orbs that the player can walk up to and interact with. When the player does this the game will read out what the memory contains. When they have heard enough they can talk with the Cat and it will return them to the real world after they answer the riddle. The art style of the game will be somewhat cartoonish and low poly like the art of Death\u2019s Door or The First Tree. The vibe will be sort of cozy but also mysterious and whimsical. It will have vibrant colors and rays of light illuminating the scene. Gamplaywise the game will be more of an interactive experience like an interactive cutscene only where the player has more choice about what they want to do. I may make it so that the Cat will give players three choices to answer its riddle so that they could theoretically solve it without actually reading any of the memories but the intended route is to interact with them. The main mechanic would be learning about the memories and watching them to answer the riddle. I\u2019d like the player to find the experience thought-provoking or at least enjoy the experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
