It's a Wonderful World / The World Ends With You
This is a thread hoping to start up a role play or a one on one based on the DS game IAWW/TWEWY. :3 I’ll just call it by the U.S. release here on out for convenience. Looking for a head count on who would be interested? Plot is go!
Opening: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZQMI6_4gLw.
The game takes place in what appears to be modern-day Shibuya, minus the fact you can’t seem to make contact with anyone around you… and there’s this black pin with a skull you can use to read all of these people’s minds. Oh, and, something’s been taken from you – the thing you value the very most, and no, you don’t get a choice. You’re dropped off here on the first day in order to find a partner, another person who you can make contact with, another player in the world called ‘The Reaper’s Game’. You can’t read their minds, one of the ways you can tell they’re another player… and you can’t work alone without them, because there are monsters called Noise all around you, looking to kill you. You can only fight if you have a partner. Your weapons are pins which you still have at all times, but I’m going to leave that alone for simplicity.
Once you find your partner, you’ll both receive a text message from the Reapers, a group of human-like figures with wings that send out noise to go kill you. They run the game, trying to kill off players with noise in order to keep their life. Their boss-of-the-week, the Game Master, is the one that sends out the texts. The message is a mission, which you have a time limit to complete. They can come written out in any form, from the direct ‘Reach 104. You have 60 minutes.’, to ‘Beat the bosses of 2.2360679's 0 = 5. t = 60 min.’. It’s really the Game Master who decides how they want to word it, what the time limit is, and even if they want to hand out a mission. Anyway. Once you beat a mission, the day is over, but you’re playing for a week. Stay alive and complete seven missions, then you get that thing back you lost and you, your partner, and the other pairs that won are set free. Sound simple enough?
It’s actually a considerable amount more complex than that, but I’ll only keep on explaining if anyone’s still interested, and doesn’t mind spoilers. (:
If anyone who’s played the game recognizes something I missed that doesn’t give out spoilers, please let me know.
And also, yes, the game stays true to the layout of Shibuya IRL. Except, they change some stuff for copyright I’d imagine, like the 109 building is the 104 building instead… but place names shouldn't matter that much. TwT
That’s all for now.
