Theme: The Weight of Choices
'The Weight of Choices'
This theme is all about making those tough decisions that can change everything!
If you can only pick one choice, what will be the cost you in the long run?
Will you pick red door or the blue one?
Will you kill an enemy or save your team mate.
Will you bring the gun or food supplies.
Will you romance the coffee drinker, or fight the legion of samurai
Each choice has a cost to it, your game will flesh out your own take on this theme
