Plot of the Game

Everything was running pretty well at the GameStart event, no one suspected any crime to take place. A hacker managed to hack the attendees' phones and sent a wave signal through them. Everyone became under his control, except Alyse, the mascot of GameStart.'

 

Play as Alyse, fending off and returning the mind-controlled attendees back to normal. Your only available gears are cosplaying props made by cosplayers at the event. Whether GameStart event can be saved or not, is all on you!

 

Game Mechanics

1) Cosplayers' props & Consumables

Acquire new gears and consumables that reference to popular characters and items from games and pop-culture. These gears and consumables can be acquired by defeating bosses or using score to purchase from booths.

 

2) Interactive stage items

Speakers, gaming chair and monitor. They have their own unique effects which aid you in your fight. You can choose to use them should you feel that you need some breathing room.

 

3) Score system

For each enemy that you defeat, your score multiplier will increase, giving you an edge over your friends in acquiring higher score. If no enemy is defeated within a small time window, it will drop.
