Side Project Pitch #3: Untitled Cosplay Game
🕑 Added 2022-07-26 14:25:22 +0000 UTCThis game is another CYOA in the vein of The Weekend. The main character (you) is an effeminate guy, or tomboy girl (same avatar either way) who's never felt comfortable in their own skin. His or her twin sister is a cosplayer, but she's gotten sick during "Bae-con" and won't be able to debut her new cosplay. It's a huge opportunity because the showrunner for the big new primo crossover magical girl anime project is going to be there, and if she can do an awesome cosplay of one of the main characters she can get tons of publicity.
So she asks...will you do it instead? Obviously you have to say yes, because otherwise there's no game. So off you go with your squad of three other guys that you usually go to conventions with. Traditionally, since hotel rooms are so expensive, you all pitch in on one. To help with the actual cosplay part, your sister has enlisted her cosplayer friends who are also going to the convention to guide you. Once you agree, she gives you her costume and tells you to wear it well.
Encouraged by everyone, you're fully onboard...until the morning of the con. After putting on the costume you're riding the hotel elevator down to the convention hall when you see yourself in the mirror and have a breakdown. There's no way you can pretend to be this character! You tell your friends to go on without you, and they reluctantly agree. You stay in the elevator, intending to return to the room and hide.
However, as the elevator empties, one other cosplayer stays with you. She's a witch, and you're getting her help whether you want it or not. She casts a spell on your costume, transforming your body to look like the character's as long as you're wearing it, then disappears.
When you enter the convention hall in front all the other guests, the showrunner, and your friends (old and new), you'll be a hot, sexy, cosplay babe. And as long as you stay in the costume, you'll stay one. And by the end of the convention you'll have to decide whether or not your new cosplay babe persona is more than just clothing-deep.
Reminder: After the last pitch, Patrons will get to vote on which side project I take on (along with continued development of The Weekend as my main focus).

I like that idea :)

Will there be a path where it turns out the witch wasn't real and she just gave you the confidence to be the cosplay babe you always were deep down?
