PROJECT DESCRIPTION

​

"Outside & Play" is an enthralling third-person RPG that delves into the vivid imagination of Mason, a young boy whose everyday tasks are transformed into epic adventures. In the game, Mason is on a heartfelt mission to find the perfect birthday gift for his mother. His quest begins with what seems like a simple task: finding his mom's diary to discover her most desired birthday gift. However, through the lens of Mason's boundless imagination, this task quickly escalates into an extraordinary adventure.

​

The initial level sets the tone for the game, as Mason imagines his home as a vast, medieval library. Here, he must navigate through endless rows of ancient tomes, not just searching for the diary but also battling menacing skeletons that guard the hidden secrets of the library. Each book and scroll brings him closer to understanding his mother's wishes, but also deeper into the challenges and mysteries of the imagined library.

​

As players progress through "Outside & Play", each level creatively expands on this concept. Mason's everyday environment continuously transforms into various fantastical settings, each representing a new chapter of his journey to find the perfect gift. Whether it's turning the local park into a treacherous jungle filled with puzzles and traps or the neighborhood grocery store into a castle besieged by dragons, Mason's imagination knows no bounds.

​

Each level is designed to be increasingly challenging, reflecting both the growing complexity of Mason's quest and the evolution of his imaginative capabilities. The obstacles Mason faces are crafted not only to offer physical challenges but also to stimulate problem-solving and strategic thinking. Players must guide Mason through each imaginative ordeal, using both brawn and brain to overcome the fantastical elements conjured by his mind.

​

Moreover, the game is peppered with clues and hints about his mother's desired gift, intertwined with the narrative of each level. This allows players to piece together the puzzle of the perfect gift as they advance, adding an additional layer of engagement and purpose to Mason's adventures.

​

"Outside & Play" is more than just a game about a child's quest for a birthday gift; it is a celebration of imagination, the joys of childhood, and the love between a son and his mother. With its beautifully rendered worlds, increasingly intricate challenges, and a storyline that tugs at the heartstrings, "Outside & Play" offers players of all ages a profound and captivating experience that goes beyond typical gaming.
