Side Project Pitch #1: Dreamgirl

Added 2022-07-11 19:03:55 +0000 UTC

Hey lovelies. Like I mentioned in the previous post, I'm going to be starting work on one side project, in addition to continuing work on The Weekend. The side project shouldn't affect work on The Weekend, so don't worry about that! However, I would like your help on deciding which one to work on, so over the next few days I'm going to be pitching each idea to you guys, and then at the end I'll post a poll so patrons can vote on their favorite(s). Unless otherwise specified the games will be using Twine/Sugarcube.

Dreamgirl

In this near-future game, you take the role of an anonymous gig-worker, who "sculpts" digital assets for VR worlds. You receive a job to create some human models for a virtual chalet for an ultra-rich client, and after finishing your work you get one last surprise assignment: create your "dreamgirl."

After completing the sculpt, you fall asleep while jacked in, and when you wake up you're in the simulation...and in the body of your dreamgirl! Somehow unable to exit the simulation, you're forced to navigate the chalet and its denizens while keeping your sense of reality intact. Unsure of who is "real" and who is just an AI, you have to step carefully to avoid arousing suspicion. But just how deep are you willing to submerge into the hedonistic life of this dreamgirl to avoid being discovered? Because you've either stumbled into one of the most tactile and realistic simulations ever made, or there's something very strange going on...
