## Final Premise
### Setting
2023-07-02 22:27:16 +00:00
- Cyberpunk-esque
- Dystopian future
- Fight club in the future
2023-07-02 22:37:16 +00:00
2023-07-02 19:49:21 +00:00
### Vague Plot Outline
2023-07-02 22:36:16 +00:00
The player has a dystopian 1984-esque, job, you start to 'think different', you get kicked out of your house, you discover something hidden/evil, you get kicked down to 'the gulag'. As you progress, you get better and better. Ending should be brutal/bittersweet.
2023-07-02 22:35:16 +00:00
2023-07-02 22:30:16 +00:00
The player gets knocked down to the "under city", the older city that's been built over. The first layers are a combination of older/garbage tech, scrapped together from trash and leftovers. As you get higher, the tech/quality improves.

Corrupt Government/gangs/corrupted system and status quo
2023-07-02 22:34:16 +00:00
2023-07-02 22:42:16 +00:00
Fallout 4-esque bad guys. multiple orgs that exist because of the world, not one evil entity
2023-07-02 22:38:16 +00:00
2023-07-02 22:41:16 +00:00
### Progression
2023-07-02 22:43:16 +00:00
Not levels, arenas, sort of. Very large arena. Complete fighting to progress to next arena.
