Story (Brief)
In the year 3005, on a small archipelago in the Neo-Caribbean area …
All the region has been devastated by the human activity that ruined 99,9% of the soils.
**In that context, a little girl named Lou will be involved in the last move for the survival of humankind: gathering the last Electro-plants that resist pollution. **
**We don’t know for sure how, nor when the Electro-plants were created. But as the legend says, if every of the 7 Electro-plants are found and gathered under the Great Graveyard, an incredible power surges and crosses the lands in order to depollute and restore the damaged Earth.**
Core Gameplay Mechanics (Brief)
Explore
Main character can walk, run, jump and interact with a 3D environment (climb ropes, ride vehicles, activate/deactivate switches ).
Stages are different parts of a same island that will be progressively unlocked by the player.
Collect
In every stage, there is an “Electro-flower” that can be found. Once the player has found one of these special looking flowers, it unlocks a character animation and the “Electro-flowers book” is updated.
The “Electro-flowers book” is an item in the player’s inventory.
The number of Electro-flowers collected by the player influence the look (colors and lighting) of the “Back Capsule” of the main character.
Once all the special flowers are collected. A special object appears: “Vibe Capsule”. It’s the final form of the Back Capsule with special animations and colors.
Influences (Brief)
Horizon Zero Down - Guerilla Games.
Why ? Because this game integrates a post apocalyptic context in which nature has took over because of men failing to come up with a model able to sustain human life on the planet.
This type of narrative brings up a reflexion about the relationship humans have with Nature. And it automatically tends to humble us as we clearly see our lack of skills when it comes to systemizing harmony …
We want to induce this line of thinking into the world of CHLORE DES CLONES in a subtle but consistent way.
Le Petit Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Why ? Because there is something mysterious about this likable little blond boy from the asteroid B612, who looks at the world through the eyes of a child but articulates his observations like a wise man.
Because the Internet - Childish Gambino.
Why ? Because the Internet is a concept album that challenges, questioning what the internet exactly is, how it’s affecting us whether we’re as famous as Donald Glover or just your average dad with a smartphone, and what that connectivity is doing to change or alter the way our society thinks and behave.
Princess Mononoke - Hayao Miyazaki.
Why ? Because Princess Mononoke is a prime example of the genuine definition of a strong female character. By being complex, multi-dimensional and even flawed. Only then will a characters be appreciated to its fullest, for it’s human side and not to be seen as disposable plot devices, crutches or eye-candy for the male gaze.
