Little Girl That Could

About the project

Little Girl That Could is loosely based on a comedic webcomic written by me and drawn by Octos Alias. The comics had dark humor and a storyline but was mostly gag strips. A more serious comic has been planned for an actual comercial release which will detail events of this game but in ways That work better in comic medium, just like some of the things in here exist only in the game to make for better gameplay.

I began to work on Little Girl That Could game, purely as a sideproject originally but after extremely positive feedback from everyone I began to pour more and more effort into it.

The game has some changes in the storyline, because a lot of things That work on comic medium do not work at game.

Plot

Mary is a Girl who always gets picked up at school for her looks, she is very short and she is completely flat, something the other girls never shut up about. The goth Girl lives a miserable life, where the only person who can understand her (As most think she's emo instead of Goth, further angering her) is a talking teddy bear whom everyone else seems to see as just as average doll. Lazrael, the bear is causing her to see visions of murder and gore, along with causing the Girl nightmares everytime she sleeps close to him. Yet, she accepts this all for the chance to be with someone, to have contact with someone. No one understands her... Expect Lazrael.


One night after a particulary gruesome nightmare wakes her up, Lazrael tells Mary That she is not strong enough to handle the demonic presence and to become strong enough; she must obtain the power of seven sins... Or go insane.

Gameplay

Mary has to go to each world ruled by one of the deadly sins. Each world is themed around the sin, with people living in greed, debauchury, or hedoism. Each Sin is unique with their powers and gameplay, each giving powers that will change the game with numerous ways, also how you deal with Sins affect the game and the resolution. While the order of facing the Sins is pre determined, you may always return back to the previous worlds and make use of the new skills you've obtained and find more secrets and bonuses.

Features

The game has a dark storyline which once again dwells at the borderline of human psyche and what makes person tick. This time, you're dealing with various ends of spectrum with the representations of the sins and dealing with their psyche as well, how their life style has affected their minds.

While there have been countless interaptions of the seven sins, I always have found them never extreme enough. These are supposed to represent the ultimate end of spectrums if you live such lifestyle. Especially Lust who always was portrayed as just very sexy person, will be particulary gruesome.
