Anonymous Agony, 15-Minute Final Build Trailer! Options

[Madurai]

Anonymous Agony is a commercial video game focusing on dark, realistic themes. It will be distributed online in an episodic manner. It's setup like a television show, and it will be very heavy on story.

Haze and Clara don't have the best parents in the world, between their regular drug dealings, and other shady activity, but despite this, Haze and Clara go on living. Haze, an eighteen year old punk just starting starting to grow up holds a deep bitterness for the world as well
as his parents. He tries to protect his sister from the evil in the world he has experienced first hand. Clara, a ten year old girl just starting middle school that's very grown up for her age spends most of her free time online chatting with friends.

One day, Haze returns home to find that his younger sister has been raped, Haze discovers soon after that it was by a person she had been talking to online. After much strife, Clara is sent to a mental hospital to recover, Haze begins using his sister's online screen name to
lure out other internet predators in hopes of, in his own way, getting revenge on the world.

Anonymous Agony follows the parallel Stories of Haze and Clara.
As Clara heals and heads towards eventual recovery, Haze heads towards his own downfall.

Haze
Character Concept--------------------------------------------------In-Game Portrait

_______

Haze is very sarcastic and condescending he always speaks in a superior tone, unless
he's talking to his sister Clara. He's usually disrespectful and rude.

"Well pops, you seem like one of the decent ones. But I still don't care to ever see your face again,
do take care though, I mean it, I really do."


________________________________________________________________________

Clara

Character Concept---------------------------------------------In-Game Portrait

_______

Clara is a spunky, smart 10 year old girl. She's impressively mature for a child, and regularly gets mad
at Haze for his mean attitude.

"You kinda suck. But since you let me ride on your shoulders again I guess you kinda don't suck..."

____________________________________________________________________________

Craig

Character Concept----------------------------------------------------In-Game Portrait

_______

Craig is an older middle aged police officer, he's tired and short most of the time, but is still a good guy.
He lives a few houses down from Haze.

"You asked me why I was a cop, why I tried to "play fair" in a world that doesn't. I'm a cop because...
I'd rather fight an impossible battle than surrender to a damning world."

Wow, I'm surprised this doesn't have comments. The character art is great. The story sounds heavy but unique. What will actual combat/gameplay look like?

UPDATE: We've updated the fist post with our official website! Head there to find out more about Anonymous Agony!

[supercow]

i think the highlight is the character art its good
i dunno why but people always seems to make big stairs even if the house is middle class
i think for outside map, its a bit too empty, sorry very empty, grass is too perfectly tend , if the sister tend it why not put flower or something?

and oh yeah why is it the door....only 1/2 height of people?
the house got 2nd floor, but in outside the house only 1 1/2 height of people

oh yeah...i think...the little girl character art had a bit more big head, im not saying its bad, but its inconsistent with her brother head and police head.

I'd need to see some examples of your art first! =)


UPDATE!!!
In response to all those who asked for more details about the gameplay, here you go!

The game is played like an interactive story, you do gain control of Haze, you can explore your house and your town in real time, you do this to gain clues, buy supplies, or just talk to the citizens.

The online chatting, boils down to dialogue trees, with numerous choices.

The main sections of gameplay are: Exploration/Investigation, Chatting online with detailed multi branching dialogue choices,
And lastly our equivalent to "Boss Fights" Which I can't speak about yet.
The main focus of this game will be the story though.

HOLY CRAP!

This game looks awesome! If I had the cash right now, I'd definitely put some backing behind your project. As it stands right now though, best I can do is pimp your work on my FB.

So, will there be a playable demo in the near future or no?
