CHILD ABUSE HEROES - A story about children who dreamed and became heroes...
Rumeon, a child who suffers from child abuse, is suddenly transported to another world where his toy friend COCO comes to life. In this world, everything seems peaceful until they are approached by a monster.
Rumeon and COCO meet new friends along the way as they explore the world they have just entered and realise their experiences of child abuse have led them to this new world of discovery.
This is where the story begins...
Gameplay:
Narrative scenes: Explore the dream realm, interact with key characters, and advance the story through dialogue. These sections use subtitles for accessibility and build the emotional plot of child abuse and trauma.
Fighting encounters: These trigger as part of the story. You engage in battles against different types of monsters.
Progression is story-focused: fights and conversations push the narrative forward, with themes of abuse, trauma, loneliness, and what it means to be a child without love.
Combat:
The combat system is real-time and fast-paced but accessible, with attacking and closing distance in arena-like spaces. Simple health bars appear for all fighters (e.g., "RUMEON 34" vs "KNIGHT 46"). Fights take place in fully 3D environments.
