🪽 Entities

I don't really know what to collectively call them other than Entities lol

The Shade The agony of Thanatos' sailors echo from within the pools, followed by the bellow of a … trumpet? They act as a stand-in for the puddles of agent rainbow. They may move in some parts.

Smoke The stand-in for the Inkblots. Likewise, it comes in different forms:

Smoke stand in for the regular Inkblots. They're found in all levels.

Tsunamis are our Brutes. Though, calling it a tank would be more accurate. They're first encountered in Dave's level.

Still thinking of a name and mechanic, but one idea was having an enemy support in Elinor’s level.

Ashfall are a bit like the Spitters, but they can fly! Their first encounter is in Alice's level.

Thanatos A behemoth in the dark ocean. Takes Agent Rainbow's role.

The Red Glow was considered as the main threat earlier on!

🔦 Items

Handheld Items

Oil lamp - Flashlight replacement. The Red Glow rests in there. Flare gun - Pistol replacement. Received after doing his lighthouse keeper chores. Spare flash camera - Mirror Shard replacement received after encountering Jorge.

When Thomas was still considered as a sort of stand-in for Lucas, thinking there could be an additional level, I temporarily added the Marmalade as the Lure Pill replacement. Quite silly!

Other Items

Phone Scrambler/Descrambler - Both for story and some small character interactions. Let Jorge know if you've seen an alien.

🗺️ Locations

Point Icarus Lighthouse

The safe space in the game... for now. You do lighthouse maintenance chores that introduce you to the game's main form of 'puzzle'. They're more akin to the chips in Minos Quarry. Likewise, they can be used against entities. I'm not sure how it'd make sense, but I imagined some sort of lighthouse maintenance minigame as a little break from the main gameplay for the player.

At one point I imagined that there'd be a reversal of the agent rainbow flood rising. It instead starts out already engulfing the area and then the dark ocean sinks over time. Another version was that certain areas would open up Moses-style.

NLH Hospital

A possible hub world in the Collective Unconscious. Having them interconnected instead is also possible, with NLH Hospital being the starting point. That'd probably require a fast travel system.

??? Library

Dave's level. A part of it extends into the Maintenance East Wing and the Entrance Area in HomaMart.

Pandora Hotel

Elinor's level.

Mind, Monster, and Picrew:

Mind: Her mind looks like an abandoned 3-story school with a basement. The classrooms are empty, mere traces of the life that was once held in those walls. The halls are scattered with papers and notebooks as if everyone left in a hurry. Mallory roams the halls looking to kill whoever gets in his way.

Monster: His monster looks like a vengeful spirit. She died angry and fighting, desperate to see his friends one last time. This lead to her now distorted and disheveled form, covered in blood and tears as he searches for her friends, hurting anyone in sight who would dare take his friends away. To defeat her, you must surround him with the photos of those she's lost and remind him that they're gone. You must tell her that, even though they're dead, they would want him to live on for them, to live her life for them.

Backstory:

☆ Mallory moved around a lot. She moved from city to city more times than she could count, leading to her not making many friends. She was a lonely girl, always playing by herself. She acted like she didn't care, but she did. She wanted friends so badly she would hide her true self away just to attract others. When she hot 9th grade, she settled into the city of Milton Haven where she would stay for the next 4 years. She even began seeing a therapist and made real friends, something she'd never gotten to do while on the move. But in her 3rd year, her senior friends graduated, leaving for college. She did her best to seem normal about it, but it devastated her. One day, she was called down to the front office. She had no clue what was going on, until she saw the news. Her friends had perished in a terrible car crash. Most of them had died on impact, but two were brought to the hospital. The first one to pass was R, someone she considered to be her brother. He had inspired her to be more confidant and open about new experiences. She cried over his death for five days. E was the next and last to pass. He'd been someone Mallory was very close with. They had been dating for almost 3 years at that point. His death hurt her the most. She didn't leave her house for months after the incident, staying locked inside her room crying and praying for her friends to come back to her. But they never did.
