Genre: Horror/Simulator

Platform: PC

Target Audience: Those who want a scary twist in their fashion-designing games. Fans of psychological horror, and unethical experimentation. Fans of monkey’s paw-style storylines. Projected to be 18+.

Game description: What do you think could be considered “Beauty”? …and how far will you go to achieve it? The Eternal Beauty Salon is a game where you play as a fashion designer in an urban-fantasy world, tasked by a mysterious and ominous client to create the perfect dress. Unlike most fashion designing games, this game forces you to obtain and/or create the materials for the dress yourself, rather than giving them to you.

The twist here, however, is what you have to DO to turn things into the required materials for each dress. Some of your ingredients might be a little more… conscious than you might like. But in the end it’ll all be worth it. All the pain and suffering you cause will be enough to finally pay off all your debts… right? Just a few more goblin eyes… and this will all be over.

…wait, where was I? …ah, yes- music. The music for this game would, like most horror games, inspire a sense of unease within the player, but also inspire a sense of awe and beauty, kind of like what the song “Dream’s forbidden depths” from Mario & Luigi Dream Team inspires in its listeners.

Artstyle-wise, the game would feature a 2D Cartoony-looking artstyle, akin to the one used in JelloApocalypse’s animated Youtube series: Epithet Erased

Genre: JRPG, Action, Adventure
Platform: Console and Pc

Target Audience: Projected to ages between 18 and up, fans of JRPGs, strategic battles, and quirky storylines.

Game Description: In Corporate Odyssey, you control a group of office workers who, after a “Nomikai” (a Japanese drinking party meant to foster teamwork),wake up to find their world dramatically altered. Monsters roam where people once stood, and abstract concepts like "stress" or "competition" have taken on tangible forms. Even more bizarre, their words and actions now wield magical power. You must help them navigate this strange new reality while continuing their job as salespeople, battling enemies who represent the daily challenges they face (computer viruses, scammers, IRS agents, rival sellers, supply-demand crises, and more.)

Combat is turn based, but with a twist. Instead of depleting a health bar, enemies have a Persuasion Gauge, which fills based on the player’s actions, reflecting a sales negotiation (Pitch replacing attack, Negotiation replaces Magic, Portfolio replaces Bag, etc)

The game features a 2D pixel art style that reminds of retro JRPGs, combined with 3D- rendered backgrounds, similar to Octopath Traveler. The audio is inspired by modern synth and lo-fi beats, mixed with upbeat jazz and electronic elements. The audio reflects the everyday hustle, giving an reminiscent of a Japanese city life at night.
