Hey there! Welcome to a section I hope to make use of regularly: Erectin an Idea! This will be place where I suggest ideas for Disney to implement, be they video games, tv, movies, or them park stuff. My first idea is one that I've been toying with for some time...
Introduction
One of the best games I've recently played is the Bioshock series. Everything about this series is near perfection: the environments, the creative gameplay, the creepy atmosphere, the graphics, the enemy design and especially the deep, compelling story line. Not only am I referring to the main characters arc, but the whole backstory on Rapture's rise and fall. This is a level of immersion and interconnectedness unlike any other game.
But why bring up Bioshock? Well, I thought Pleasure Island from Pinocchio would be a great setting for an adventure game that emphasizes creepy atmosphere and compelling story in a manner similar to Bioshock.
The Setup
This is just my idea on how such a game would play out.
It's been about a decade since the end of Pinocchio. The demonic Coachman is still at large, tempting mischief-prone lads to Pleasure Island and using the isle's horrific curse for his own personal greed. In spite of Pinocchio's escape, the Coachman's affairs have continued in silence and stealth.
You are an unamed 14-15 year-old lad/lass who lives in the seaside village. Your life has been generally carefree until one night, when your 11-year old brother disappears. After hours of seemingly- hopeless searching, you find a piece of your brother's belonging and hoof tracks leading to a pier. Despite these obvious clues, no one in the village can explain the nature of these tracks, save one: Pinocchio.
At first hesitant to tell you anything about Pleasure Island, he eventually mutters something about a ship "which arrives around midnight." Armed with this knowledge, you wait about the pier and sure enough, a coach filled with rowdy boys and a large steamship appears in the moonlight. You sneak aboard the boat, hopeful for answers.
...But alas, you get caught by the Coachman! None too happy to find a suspicious stowaway, the Coachman subjects you to brutal questioning. This interrogation goes on until you attempt to viciously tackle the fiend. But instead of anger, the Coachmen's face holds a wicked smile. Just before you can do anything at all, a painful metamorphosis occurs! Your limbs become hoofs, your mouth and ears elongated, and your skin grows brown fur! As you slowly lose your humanity and pass out, the Coachman laughs maniacally.
When you wake up, you find yourself in a cage amongst other donkeys. As you contemplate your seemingly hopeless fate, a small voice is heard. You look down and see Jiminy Cricket! He heard about your interest in Pleasure Island from Pinoch and see's you clearly need help. He busts you out of your cage and your quest now begins...
To be continued...
