Man that is so bad ass, wow.
Hey I had an idea for tying the scenarios together tell me what you think
(and feel free to shoot it down haha)
Ok so basically you are floating in the void and the reaper is there and is
judging you or testing you.
You start out and theres 3 paths to walk lets say (cool looking void
background... and the reaper is floating there hovering). each path leads
to a diff scenario.
Maybe you have to choose 3 times from 3 diff paths (for a total of 9
scenarios total but you only do 3 of them?)
and before you make your choice the reaper kinda primes you with some
information, or just has some interesting dialog, and afterwords maybe makes
comments about your choices.
I'm picturing it like, you start a new gamee:
You appear in the void and see all this stuff swirling in the darkness in
the background, a torch or blue fire or something flares up and the world /
player fades into view and the reaper fades in (alpha blended in).
A text box comes up w/ a portrait of the reaper on the side and he says
stuff to you, maybe have some stuff like hinting at reincarnation "Not
everyone learns the lessons they must learn in a single life time, let's see
how you fare this time around."
Stuff like that, and when you go from void to scenario or from scenario to
void it fades down to black/silence and fades up to the new area / new
area's music w/ the player in the middle of the screen in his weird role.
I dunno, your idea inspired this image in my head so thought i'd share :P
