Not intending a rip off of the series or it’s story of course, I just found it fun imagining how things would play out in a more mundane setting featuring crazy shooter based combat between random people in a town.
The game would start with Dart, the main character, who has recently moved to a new town, where things are a considered to be a bit ‘extreme’
The story begins that Dart finds he needs to get some milk for making his dinner, and goes out to the store. The first stage is ‘on the way to the store’ during which cars will swerve to hit him, while shooting at him. Destroying cars causes item drops for power-ups and points.
At the mid point of the level, a pink haired little girl challenges him. The fight is very brief, and afterward the girl is upset that Dart was so rough with her, and vows to tell her big sister.
The end of the level, the big sister appears and almost straightens things out with Dart before mentioning they live there because their father had to get a job driving the 16th car on the level. Dart recollects that he might have blown that car up, leading to a fight with her.
Second stage is inside the shopping mall. In this stage cans and bottles fall from the shelves which do damage on impact, and can be destroyed for the same effect as the cars in the previous stage.
At the mid point, you meet a crazy shopper who screams about coupons and sales before attacking Dart.
At the end of the level, Dart is about to retrieve the milk when a mysterious figure appears to challenge him, as there is only one bottle of milk left.
The third stage is returning home. The cars are again attempting to murder Dart, and at the mid point, Dart runs into, and subsequently upsets some kids playing baseball, and has to fight three kids who attack with thrown baseballs.
At the end of the stage, the girl from the first stage, still injured arrives to re-challenge Dart, for the sake of her father. This is interrupted when her father shows up and reveals that the drivers have good protective gear for driving.
Unfortunately for Dart, after beating up both of his daughters, the father is obligated to fight him. This will be of course the most difficult battle.
At the end of the battle, Dart finally arrives home with the milk intact. As he begins to collect the ingredients he realizes he forgot the butter, and the game ends with a splash panel showing him running back out the door towards the store saying “Here we go again”
My only question would be; does this seem like a decent parody idea, or does it seem like something that would enrage fans of the TouHou series?
