Title of Game: “Freeing the Guardians”
Game Summary: You as the player are a small child, maybe around ten or eleven. You live in a world where mankind is enslaved by beings of the Xeoxedalar (Underworld), who deemed mankind unworthy to rule itself and own the Etomos. (Earth). The people of Niawiacion are warriors/guardians charged with the protection of mankind, their freedom, and their world, Etomos. However, thousands of years before your birth, the armies of Xeoxedalar attacked Etomos and Niawaicion forcing the guardian warriors who once protected mankind to fall back into safe houses where they wait in stasis to be awoken when it’s time for mankind to be free once more. This is where the game starts, the player’s purpose and the challenge is to overcome the obstacles and opponents in their way to free the guardians and their own world.
Game Purpose: This game is an extension of a trilogy I’m writing and it’s meant for entertainment purposes for the player. Just like a book this game is meant to help people escape their own world for a little while and be the hero of the story.
