New Game Pitch

I am not entirely sure how this game idea came into existence. I started thinking about the idea of hallucinations and how gas can also cause hallucinations- by gas I mean carbon monoxide mainly as it does starve the brain of oxygen and can often cause hallucinations. This then lead to me thinking about botanical gardens and how this can or could have oxygen pumped into them in the future.

​

So my brain started thinking more and more and this is what it came up with:

This will now be set in the distant future. As everyone predicted, things have gone to absolute shit and to be able to keep plant life alive,
the New World Government formulated a series of 'Botanical Gardens' that kept some of Old America's most prised nature reserves in commission.
This would mean they were filled with simulated sunlight, oxygen that's created from the thick miasma that plagues the outside world and automated
irrigation systems and simulated wildlife.

Occasionally, the filters that cleanse the air need to be changed, or if there is a gas leak, specialists will be brought in to secretly take
care of the issues to make sure that the gas doesn't interfere with the guests that choose to camp there for a reminiscent experience. You [Main-
Character Name], are part of the team that does this line of work. It is your first proper mission out of training. Your team help you go through
the ropes before you leave- there are training grounds (this is the tutorial phase and then on your way to the location, you get to see what the world
is like).

Things will then start to go wrong as your co-worker's suit becomes compromised. She starts to hallucinate, thinking that everyone around her is a demon
and tries to attack you. Though your own suit becomes compromised, you manage to get out into the open area of the Wildlife Park/ Nature Reserve.
You yourself, now having been exposed to the gas have to try and seal it before it gets worse.

Monitor your sanity and try and remain calm. If you see 'something', run, don't wait to find out if it is real or fake. Your only hope is to restore
the oxygen and see if you can reconvene with what is left of your team.

With this idea, I feel like I can go in a direction of it being more of a game, rather than it being just an experience. I have a lot of faith with this idea more than my last. It has way more potential than me previous one and I now my plan of action is to be able to redraw concepts, characters, create characters profiles and add more to my Foci in between. 

​

I will continue to update things on here, but now I will be able to start making my proper GDD, as it is now taking a shape I like very much.
