So its, an early access Japanese exclusive X-Bone game, developed by Hi-Rez studios. First person survival, always online, where you can only walk at the slowest pace or else you'll die, controlled by arrow keys. You're always placed on a foreign team, and permadeath will start you over, but you have to grind/survive for hours to unlock the next character.

Upon losing, your webcam takes a picture of your disappointing face so the enemy team may mock it.
Upon subsequent losses, a picture of your dick is required.

Semi random level roulette.

Procedurally generated but it all looks like shit no matter what.

random combat in every area, except they messed up the RNG making you run into something every other step.
there's no patch coming either, the developers never recognized it as a bug and will never come out with a fixed version

Schrödinger's cat motif

You have to backtrack through the entire map every time you clear a level. Then, you get a quest or a mission that takes you through a level you've already played through, with respawns.

Game is in black and white

The rival character is a futa loli fox

Whenever an enemy player types "gg ez" in the chat, everything you type for the next 5 minutes is replaced by an austistic fit.

All the enemies have cool moves and utilise interesting mechanics in a way that makes it seem like your character could do the same

But instead you stick with the same boring abiltiies from game start to finish with just passive bonus that make the game trivial

So who's going to fund this episodic procedurally-generated pay-to-win team-based turn-based first-person escort quest masterpiece where running makes you go faster than the NPCs you're supposed to be escorting but walking makes you go slower than them in a setting that's entirely underwater with a pixelated moe-based artstyle, random encounters, fully MIDI anime OST, random encounters with stagger-immune enemies that can take up to five IRL minutes for their weak points to appear, QTEs, paid mods, special snowflake characters, quickly draining hunger bar, unskippable cutscenes, no manual save feature but autosaves every 30 seconds, early access content, rapidly flashing loading screens, volume options in 10% increments, unlockable characters that require weeks-long grinding, rigged online matchmaking, timed instant failure stealth missions, delayed text boxes that pause the game, long cooldowns for every action, constant backtracking, futa loli fox rival, and ice physics on every surface that can only be played using either a driving wheel or arrow keys, all to be enjoyed in silky-smooth 25 FPS?
