A hundred years ago, aliens invaded a South Pacific country called Bombo World, and the president at the time agreed to give them the northern part of the country (now known as the alien civilization Derocity) in exchange for their technology. However, in the passing years, anti-government tension grew worse. In the midst of this, the game follows Cookie Blair, a 5-year-old girl from New Jersey who imagines herself to be a bear. Cookie travels to Bombo City to participate in the Bombo Games, a sports festival taking place every four years, but she finds herself caught up in a war between humans and aliens that may mean the end of humanity.

* PointOfNoReturn: In Derocity, right before Cookie reaches the final rooms in the game leading up to the [[spoiler:bomb chamber]], she will say, "I have a bad feeling about this. It seems like it'd be a good idea to save here."

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Cookie can die in a number of unsettling ways, including being shot, falling (even during the Bombo Sports), summoning Satan, being run over by a tractor, being too close to a bomb, you name it.
