What do you mean by a "synopsis," "pitch," and "logline"? 

Synopsis: "A synopsis conveys the narrative arc, an explanation of the problem or plot, the characters, and how the book or novel ends. Suggested length of a synopsis, according to Wood: ten to twenty-five pages (each chapter one to three pages)." - Writer's Digest and Daily Writing Tips

Pitch: "A pitch is a simple yet alluring business presentation in which an individual approaches producers and investors for potential funding for that project. It's your way of selling the very idea of your game to video game producers." Game Designing

Logline: "Common industry practice dictates that loglines are only one sentence long. A logline, or log line, is a brief (one to two sentence) summary of a movie, tv show, etc. that hooks the reader in and describes the central conflict of the story. " Masterclass and StudioBinder


Title of Game: The Nest 

 Pitch: A 2D point & click puzzle adventure on a discarded astro-laboratory. A singleplayer discovery game that requires audiences to keep their eyes peeled for fascinating antiques. 

 Logline: In 4090, Lafayette Harrison, a futuristic collector-extraordinaire, is sent by I.C.E.C.R.E.A.M. (The International Coalition of Explorers Chasing the Reaches of Extreme Anterior Motion) to find three rare items on an abandoned space station called The Nest. Although, it seems the International Coalition was misinformed about what’s truly hiding under piles of high-tech junk.
