Halfway Home
The player character is an oddity made up of various urban legends mixed with silly folklore from the human subconscious seeking form in some way shape or another. The goal for this short storyboard project would involve discovering answers, playing pranks on humans (playing as Halfway Home), and having fun hanging out while creating characters based off their local lore like Meguey Baker's Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands! It is a prototype game that will be updated with play testing.
