Need a boost to start or finish some work? Want to game and get stuff done in the real world? This game is the first (that I’ve heard of) to present the Player and the Character as two separate entities.
The Player (you) enters an activity to pursue in the real world, which fuels the Character's ability to do quests.
The Character takes quests and follows stories, as you guide them on their path in life by whispering in their ear.
Multiple game elements are involved, all aimed at increasing the Player's enjoyment and thus the likelihood they’ll return.
- Gameplay
- Direct rewards (XP and levelling)
- Compelling stories (Player enjoys Character’s questing experience vicariously)
- Body doubling (Player and Character both work together simultaneously)
- Immersive world (NPCs could have their own daily, seasonal and annual schedules)
- Meaningful interactions (Character could interact with NPCs and environment)
- Dopamine hits (enticing features found in eg gacha games like daily login rewards)
- Other exciting future possibilities involving new game mechanics
