The theme I picked is folklore and magic! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜
For coming up with ideas, I decided to think of what meaning I wanted and what I’m trying to convey through the narrative. I thought of many ideas and tried to include themes of adventure and ambiguity.
Game idea 1: In the game, you learn about a tale growing up, a story that’s passed down. The tale that you think wasn’t real soon becomes a loop where the player becomes a new hero. This was mainly inspired by the deep dive into legends.

Game idea 2: A magicless student becomes a heroic legend. A decision-based game deciding your legend. This was mainly inspired by the deep dive into legends.

Game idea 3: A narrative game where the player gets to pick dialogue decisions. I could pick a fairytale/fable story I like or make a spin-off and have another interpretation of the story.

Game idea 4: You go on a dating site hoping you find a new partner, only to find myths/tales of supernatural entities. Believing they’re not real, you go on these dates only to find out they are real, and now you have to survive.

Game idea 5: In the game, you are known as the ‘sun’, blessed from birth and treated as a goddess. However, if you do not follow the rules set by the higher priests. You’ll lose your goddess title and bring disaster; however, as the game continues the it becomes harder and harder to follow the rules.
