The game is done once you have finished dating every character and have documented their red flags. Depending on your choices the ending can vary.

Depending on the current task the style of the game interface will change. While the interface will resemble classic dating simulators during the dates, outside of them the interface will change regularly to fit the scene. For example, during the walk to the date, the interface will show a map and be in a 3rd person perspective.
The user interface is completely diegetic, even the main menu and ingame menus (OS windows on the main screen are used for this purpose).

This is a Game Design concept from the team Kabeljau.

Concept

Premise

You are the coordinator for a heist team - but everything goes wrong. From the safety of your van, you use your hacking abilities to guide your operatives through a building to steal valuable artefacts.

Target Audience

Whether you are a hardcore real-time-strategy player, a casual couch gamer or a mum who wants to have a little fun after work - this hilarous heist game has an appeal for everyone. The age rating is 12 and up.

Objectives

You want your team to steal the artefact(s?) and escape with as few incidents as possible. Unlock all the quirky and diverse characters to carry out the perfect heist and discover every ending.

Game Mechanics

  • Your role in the team is to coordinate it, meaning:
  • Hack electronic devices inside the building to guide your team, distract enemies and ensure chaos.
  • Give commands to your team to get them to move, hide, interact, attack and distract.
  • Put together your team and learn the operatives’ quirksYour role in the team is to coordinate it - meaning:
  • Hack electronic devices inside the building to guide your team, distract enemies and ensure chaos.
  • Give commands to your team to get them to move, hide, interact, attack and distract.
  • Put together your team and learn the operatives’ quirks.

Characters

You play as a hired hacker, who is set out to carry out the heist despite their utterly uncapable team. This game features a wide variety of NPCs that have their own characteristics and quirks.

  • The cleaner
    • Obsessed with cleanliness - won't touch door handles.
  • The crafter
    • Uses suction cups to move on walls and ceilings, but is slow and gets stuck on puddles.
  • Shotgun Shelly
    • She's a trigger happy fella, prone to shooting everyone in sight - even team mates!
  • Mudman
    • He despises shoes for some reason... leaving footprints in his mud trail everywhere.
  • Revid
    • They are fish. Fish can't breathe air, so they are wearing a fish tank as a helmet. Due to the water hose, they can only go so far. Don't lead them around lots of corners or the hose could rip.
  • Ritterrösti
    • A german knight, still relying on his trustworthy armor for every job he does. Unfortunately, that means he is very bad at stealth.
  • Poseidon
    • How he ever agreed to this mission is beyond you. However, his guard-distracting-abilities are superb. You don't know if it's the whales he can summon or the fact, that he's topless.
  • Linus S. A.
    • Linus is a sorcerer. Actually, he's a sorcerer's apprentice, who's failed his sorcerer's exam. He has little cheerful little will-o'-wisps that follow him everywhere.
