## Premise spitballing
## Final Premise
### Setting
- Cyberpunk-esque
- Dystopian future
- Fight club in the future
### Vague Plot Outline
The player has a dystopian, job, you start to 'think different', you get kicked out of your house, you discover something nasty
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.
#### Opposition
# Aesthetic
## Prior Discussion
> Iso<br>
3d in a fixed iso-ish camera<br>
The artstyle would be pretty much Cloudpunk/Transistor with our own twists<br>

> It's unapologetically cyberpunk themed
> With all the flavor that comes with that

> Since we're doing a futuristic dystopian thing with skyscrapers above clouds and murky grey
I thought, man, wouldn't it be cool if this was kinda like bladerunner with necromunda tones<br>
To where, at a certain point in the game, you're dropped to the pre-city, which is old as balls
And people still live there and use a bunch of garbage old world

> I had this idea where the soundtrack across the game as a whole gets a little bit more acoustic and classical to represent the escape from techno dystopia
