The main character will only be allowed to traverse the maze in 4 directions, forwards, backwards, right, and left, and will have to evade the prison guards. 1.2 Story Abstract The main character, named Penman, is in jail for stealing. Penman wasn’t known for his mental intellect, but he was known for his skittle obsession. Our story begins when Penman impersonated Skitty, the skittles mascot. Skitty pressed charges and Penman was sent to jail. While in jail, Penman’s love for skittles grew, and hours after his release, realizing he only had 43 cents to his name, Penman held up a convenience store. However, while trying to hide his identity, Penman threw a hefty bag over his head, and forgot to cut eyeholes, or nose holes for that matter. Minutes later, the ambulance took an unconscious Penman to the hospital, and later, to jail. Fast forward a few years, Penman’s out of prison again, and his love for skittles has not diminished. Penman casually strolled into another convenience store, grabbed a bag of skittles, slid it in his pocket, and walked out. Penman screamed before reaching his car, I’m going to taste the rainbow. Employees realized what he had done, and he was arrested for his third strike. That earned him life in a penitentiary. However, while inside the penitentiary, Penman began to realize that something was wrong… very wrong. 1.3 Game play Game play will consist of using the mouse to look around; the W key will move the character forward, and the S key will move the character backwards. 1.4 Target Audience The game will be not be aimed at a specific audience.
