a Lasers & Feelings hack by 力行 (a.k.a. Me)
YOU’RE A VIDEO GAME GIRL IN A VIDEO GAME WORLD.
Like in Tron, Wreck-It Ralph or third-millennium Jumanji, being a video game protagonist is reality to you. Perhaps you may not even be in a game, but rather, you’re the heroines the game is about. Best not to look for a fourth wall, though—especially if it’s more like a window, through which you might see giants jiggling joysticks and mashing buttons! No one wants to see that.
What does one want to see? Teamwork! Villainy thwarted! A daring rescue! That’s right, a rescue! Missy Girl, the Player One of Hero Girl Sprite, has gone missing. And so the game has recruited four heroines from other games at the arc…ade… no wait I mean lands!
Yes! Lands! You’re not in a game, so really lands—that are really distant—such as Metrovania and The Polygon Trail and Big Bug… ’s Lair. Many challenges obstruct you, and bad guys and monsters are ready to ambush you! But eventually you’ll find Missy Girl and get Heroine Medals!
So, what are you waiting for, ladies?
PRESS START
Daah! I mean… start… press -ing on…
…ward.
🕹️The Game
This is a Lasers & Feelings hack that takes place in a world inspired by video games (mostly from the 80s and 90s).
🧚🏻♀️ The PCs are sort of pre-gennish. Like in the original Gauntlet, each player controls a different kind of hero:
P2: A TINY, WINGED SPRITE
P3: A PEPPY MAGICAL GIRL
P4: AN AGILE STREET-FIGHTER
P5: A MIGHTY AMAZON
💥 Contra-versy?
Controversial topics may come up in the context of late 20th-century video games. For example, your characters all come from different games. Maybe, like Chun-Li and Thyra, P4 and P5 were the only female characters in their original games. They could bond through commiseration.
💌 That said, I’m aiming for dumb, clean fun. This game is meant to be a Love Letter to arcade and S/NES games of the 80s and 90s—especially Secret of Mana, the inspiration for the campaign’s title.
