Okay so I think I have a workable idea for a game. It would be done in Ren'Py naturally with 3D graphics done in Daz Studio (maybe blender if my computer will allow it)
It will have a female protagonist who is a superheroine with mental powers. In her public identity as a supermodel and occasional actress she goes on a date with a guy who turns out to be a total asshole. She promised her friend to give him a chance so she doesn't just ditch him right away.
After suffering through a boring dinner with her date, Kevin, he insists on walking her to his place instead of taking an Uber (or whatever). This is where the game part of the VN starts.
As they walk along the city streets at night they have encounters with different people. In each instance Kevin tries to play the big man and acts out to try and impress our heroine. The encounters include: A dwarfish looking man taking out his trash (he's a champion wrestler and powerlifter), an older black man and his nephews sitting outside (they're just done sparring with each other and the old man is their trainer), two homeless teenage boys (they're runaway mutant twins with ice and fire powers)
Our heroine now has a choice between letting Kevin get his comeuppance and spending the rest of her evening with the victor or using her powers to extricate themselves from the situation. Once you finish that encounter you can jump back to before you made your choice and take the other option.
If you save Kevin from every pitfall you go to his place and after a few drinks the heroine finally has enough with him after he makes anti-superhuman comments to her. She storms out and runs into a crime in progress. Three super crooks are stealing a shipment of experimental weapon components from an armored transport. They are "Big Man" Baker, The Butcher and Candleman. She switches into her superhero outfit and fights them using her powers. This sequence is a simple rock-paper-scissors game with your mental powers versus their superpowers. To win you must beat each of them in a best of three series.
If you lose you are found by another hero who takes you to a private clinic where you recuperate and the game ends there.
If you win the soldiers are grateful for her saving them and want to show her their appreciation in some way.
And that's what I got so far.
I have not decided on a name yet for the heroine other than the placeholder of Mind Girl/Ava Jay. Maybe make it custom?
I would love to hear suggestions about what I should do.
