Open Mic Night is a social game heavily based around microphones as the name suggests. It is intended for up to 32 players, most of whom will sit in a room as players take turns taking to the mic in timed openings to tell jokes and stories to the audience of other players.
The game starts after a minute set up period where players can take their seats and speakers can prepare themselves. After this time the speaker will be given a time window determined prior to tell players something comedic, insightful, or some combination of both. Players act like judges, they can input approval for stories and jokes as they are told which allow speakers to accumulate approval points. A player that accumulates no points within a thirty second time period can be heckled by the crowd as their mics are enabled and if enough players start booing simultaneously, the speaker will be pulled off the stage and the next player will take their turn.
If a speaker accumulates approval points, they can spend these like currency in the lobby shop. This will allow players to buy cosmetics for themselves amongst other goods, acting as an extra incentive for players to perform well. The game also features more regimented game mode customization, where the subject of the mic night can be determined, and time windows can be adjusted. Players could choose to report on interesting news stories, act as narrators for live YouTube videos playing in the background, or participate in a rap battle with another player. The mic is open to all manners of taste.
Features:
Default Dan's not Superman is a narrative/adventure game about being the only ordinary person in a city filled with superheroes. While they wage the battle of good and evil, you take on the unconventional role of a man trying to be completely ordinary in the face of epic battles, back stories and supernatural events.
While the game follows a linear set of narrative events to tell a comedic story, the gameplay itself does offer a degree of unique challenges unseen in other games that are primarily driven through pure narrative. You as Default Dan have to actively avoid your "calling" and anything that might turn into your superhero back story. In addition to this you will have to avoid being captured as a hostage, and a plethora of other life threatening scenarios that will directly involve you into the battle between good and evil. You have work at 6am, you have to finish your spreadsheets, the only calling you should have to worry about is your boss calling you into the office to fire your ass if you become Default Dan the Fire Man. Do not heed the call, and if you're ever in doubt remember your fathers wise words; "Eastenders is on the tele at seven."
