A draft walk through written in the style of "1997-not-quite-sure-how-this-thing-got-approved-on-gamefaqs"

The game idea is intentionally vague here, but what I had in mind was a futuristic QTE-based dynamic action game, inspired by Space Ace / Dragon's Lair / Shenmue action scenes, but with sequences that change dynamically on each play through and allow for more strategy than just sheer memorization while still allowing for the fun cinematic feel.

Viewed best in notepad++ or a viewer that preserves character monospacing.

It's interesting to see the different ways people have approached the challenge of making a walkthrough-like document that's still entertaining to read, and writing from the perspective of someone who is enthusiastic but doesn't really understand the purpose of a walkthrough was a solid way to pull that off!

That voice did occasionally feel a little inconsistent to me -- the actually good ASCII art and formatting didn't seem to fit with this character, and the descriptions of the powers felt almost too articulate.

Overall, though, I love the way this is written. Some highlights:

- the "Story" and "Chapter 3" sections, and any other part where the writer gets so excited about the game he forgets to include any useful information

- Chapter 4 is

- the multiple valiant attempts to spell "extraterrestrial"

- my favorite line: "I heard there is a place that looks like a Pizza Hut somewhere in that section but didnt' spot it yet, please let me know"

Ha the voice of "I'm a tween very excited about this topic, but have no concept of how to work within this text type" stirs up copious volumes of occupational trauma for me — in a complimentary way, of course.

Agreed with lasertooth, though, that it almost looks like this person's mom came in and copy-edited parts of it as if it were a class assignment lol. Really like the attention to detail in the controller and ascii. I actually felt that didn't break character: it's totally on brand, I'd say, for a teenager to pour hours into an ancillary part of a task when overwhelmed by the primary goal.
