Welcome to another edition (our 5th!) of the Week Sauce jam! Our theme this month is another playful one:

Imagine a game you love is the sequel to an earlier, previously unknown, but recently rediscovered game. Make that game.

Have to thank @ladylakira for her fantastic idea; came across her tweet thanks to a friend, and tried to adapt it so it would work not only for tabletop RPG games, but for any kind of game, including video games. 

So is that first forgotten game an incomplete prototype? Why did it change into the better known sequel? Is it a real prequel story-wise? Lot of ways to play with this idea and create your own little homage to the games you like. So have fun with it!

Cheers!

Need ideas? Play with the name of a game you know and try to imagine what the forgotten prequel would be called! Some examples of this:

Known gameUnknown prequel
Dark SoulsDark Soul
TetrisTriTris
Horizon Zero DawnHorizon Negative One Dawn
Temple RunTemple Walk
Karate ChampKarate Chump
GauntletMitten
Final FantasyFirst Fantasy
CentipedeDecipede
StriderStumbler
Forbidden ForestWelcome Woods
QuakeQuack

Then think about what a game with that title would be like. Is Karate Chump about what happens when he is always getting beaten up? Is Welcome Woods a peaceful walking simulator? Is the hero in Quack of the Mallard variety?
