IDEAS

I thought of another concept for a game idea.
the narrative is crossing over the themes of cupid and valentines day with halloween and possible spiritual and supernatural elements.
I thought of contrasting ideas forming something interesting and i resonate very strongly with cute and creepy. a fair comparison would be how nightmare before christmas crosses over halloween with christmas.

The setting would take place in the present day to highlight how communication between people has transformed and highlights the little interaction people have with each other even if they were to say something super important.
It is valentines day and a lonely teenage girl is at high school going about her day, even though she appears absent wherever she goes. plugged into her phone listening to music, shut off from the world.
Enter Val, a female cherub tasked with spreading love. her counterpart, valentine is the top dog in terms of matches made and over shadows her every year to the point where she doesn't care anymore.
Val gets by every year meeting the minimum quota but this year she has found a soul she resonates with so much that she forms an emotional attatchment to her and tries to match her with someone else, to no avail as her emotions have fallen too deep into darkness.
Val is forced to excavate her inner thoughts to find the route of this depression battling her childhood thoughts and demonic beings that the girls psyche has accomodated.
to free her happiness she gets aid from death, famine and other spiritual beings [who take the form of cherubs] to save this girl on valentines day.

I imagine the gameplay to appear cutesy but have severely dark themes. i imagine great potential in making this a 2d action platformer of sorts.
