Lantern's Lock
stuff about it
- fantasy-ish setting. magic system and rpg mechanics
- this story was thought of waaaay before i even knew TVT existed. the Deconstruction Game prompt was just an excuse for me to talk about it
- unfortunately for me i do not know how to make video games so this one's staying in my brain mush
- it's also a pathetic attempt at Toby Fox style deconstruction
- video game
not canon to the actual story i'm working on
- Deconstruction Game (created 04/08/2024):
- Lantern's lock deconstructs the relationship between the player and the character you play as. You, the player, take the form of a lantern with a moon shard in it, and are being carried around by Moth Leclair, a 14-year-old not-so Silent Protagonist. Controlling your character is described as the lantern communicating to Moth by telling them where to go, and you can even pass on the lantern to other party members to play as them.
- If you manage to stray off the story's path too far, Moth starts to comment on what you're doing. They continue to listen to you, for the lantern keeps reassuring them that "it's part of their story, part of their plan". Go too far, and Moth will realize the horrors of what they've done. The lives they've taken, the life they've lost by following your orders. Moth will proceed to rip the moon shard out of the lantern, take your powers for themselves, defeat the Big Bad, and then fade out, for your power was too much for their body to withstand.
- Lantern's Lock also deconstructs Level Grinding. There is an Anti-Grinding mechanic set if you hunt too much of the same monster in one area, Moth and the other party members start to comment on how the species may become endangered, or even extinct, depending on the kind of creature. Eventually, Moth will begin to make excuses about "hunting something else" or "just getting rid of the monsters that get in our way." Soon, they'll just tell you to stop.
- Moth also makes it so that killing possessed humans/humanoids is impossible, and at most, leaves them at a low HP. This can be evaded if you steer them too far down the path to the bad ending.
