Awards: 1st Place winner of the Sci-Fi Game Pitch Contest!


Synopsis:
A sci-fi mouse driven adventure game that focuses on puzzle solving as a means of progression. Puzzles are worth points and unlock special cut scenes as well as small perks. The game will have a clear linear plot that the player can follow or forego to find side puzzles that contribute to the overall story.

Features:
There are no battles or equipment, but the player gets an inventory to help them discern evidence when interrogating and arresting criminals.
The game will have a custom menu that hosts a variety of useful tools for investigation along with the "Puzzle Matrix" a device that once activated/given to the player through a story event allows you to go back and solve puzzles you may have missed along the way.
One of the tools essential to the team is the "Galatica" a device used by law enforcement to produce instant knowledge of alien worlds and their laws to better enforce order. Being from Earth Jayce and Stacy will notice the Galatica is strangely void of any knowledge of Humans or the Sol system. It's up to the player to fill in the blanks while they explore the galaxy and it's people. As the player progresses with the Galactica new cut scenes will open on Earth to play out with Jayce and Stacy's friends.

Plot:
The game stars two high school children Stacy and Jayce. Jayce is a smart wheelchair bound boy, and Stacy is the popular overly violent girl. The two love to play detective until one day while hanging around a crime scene they become involved in an extraterrestrial plot to smuggle narcotics. Coming into possession of several clues to a dealer a dragon like alien, the Sheriff of Sol "Gallus" deputizes them both.
He takes them to Galaxy Police Headquarters where he wants them to interrogate a suspect and arrange them for trial. This will put them on the trail of a large drug cartel, and one step closer to shutting down the head of the Stellar Syndicate; an organized criminal group bent on control of the Galaxy.
Jayce and Stacy will have their own story unraveling as they explore the hidden life of their parents, whose involvement with the GP led them to an untimely end.

Game-play:
The game depends on several phases per chapter: Investigation, Interrogation, Incarceration, and Indictment.
Progress is measured by puzzle solving outside of court.
During the Investigative phase the player will be allowed to explore and interact with alien worlds and people as well as return to Earth. Interrogation allows the player to question and torture suspects, but can have negative consequences on your career if you decided to harass innocent people.
Incarceration lets the player visit the criminals in jail and discern information about dealings as well as clues. Indictment will be the hardest phase requiring the player to give testimony based on the evidence collected.
The AI of the game will be triggered by events and conditions that the player performs in court, and when evidence is presented. Presenting evidence too soon or neglecting it can lead to the criminal walking.
