A downloadable game

PolyCove is a game that went viral because people were saying that if you completed the game, you could acquire one thing in real life that you desire. The player of this story decides to enter the game in order to finally obtain his so called “treasure”.

The player will have the help of the AI system that will explain how to play the game. Along the game the player will need to use his intelligence and abilities, so he can finish all the levels required. Featuring levels that span multiple genres of game, the player will always have something new to learn.

General Concepts

The game is divided in three levels, being the first level a 2D platform with some similarities to Geometry Dash. The player has to kill some mobs and some bosses, unlock doors and choose your way wisely along the platform. In the end it is just a matter of left or right.

The second level is a 3D dungeon crawler/escape room type of game, where the player is locked inside a castle and needs to find clues in order to get to the next level. Along the game the player will need to protect himself from some monsters that took over the castle and, in some rooms, he will need to solve some mysteries to achieve a clue. After obtaining the 5 notes, the player will free himself from the castle.

The third level will be a top down, RTS type of game, where the player will need to gather resources in order to build an army that can go against the big King. To build an army he will need to use the resources to construct some buildings.

The game itself is a little bit like evoland in terms of game evolution as the player progresses through the levels. Like the movie “Ready Player One”, the player needs to complete puzzles and challenges in order to win the game, getting the ownership of the server as a reward.

In terms of gameplay, PolyCove has a mixture of multiple styles, such as 2D Platformer, Puzzle, RPG and RTS.

Storyline

The game starts with the main character in the "real world" at your home, the first “quest” at this point of the story is to find a way to play the PolyCove Game, once the player enters the VR. The introduction will be driven by your explorer intuition, in an almost linear way to the first level, in a modest and calm game, or at least that’s what he believes in. The player will need to understand that after each level there will be no return.

PolyCove is divided in three levels, being them different games. In the start of every level the player will be given an introduction and a little tutorial on how to play. Along the levels the player will collect key fragments in order to complete the game but in the course of the game, the player will discover the real secret behind the game itself and with this, we will face his greatest challenge.

Game Objective

The game is divided in two objectives, one is known by the player and it’s given by the AI, it’s where the player needs to complete the game itself to achieve what he desires. The second is an objective that the player will get to know along the game, it’s the need to get out of the game before he dies.
