LOTTERY

Lottery is a tactical FPS game set in the year 2054 in a dystopian cyberpunk USA featuring AI that learns, adapts, and predicts player behavior. The player uses mind-reading and superpowers that mirror utility and abilities featured in classic tactical FPS and hero shooter games that include, but are not limited to, camouflage, superspeed, teleportation, flashbangs, smokes, etc. Each round is contained inside a medium sized arena with large amounts of cover where the player can maneuver the AI's "thoughtfield" in a classic clutch scenario. 

AI Learning Mechanics

The AI confronting the player works through a "thoughtfield", which is a grid representing the AI's predictions based on current information as well as a memory system which takes information from previous rounds and builds a specific counter against the player. Every level is a progression where the player works towards helping an unknown alien device and rebuilding their life through fighting against waves of enemies standing in their way. 

Every player also receives their own profile which they can share with others and lets them try specific scenarios using someone else's AI and learning profile. 

Story

After a massive flood, completely decimated all your belongings and left you with nothing, you are stuck in an emergency housing pod where an alien device teleports in front of you out sheer luck and offers you a deal to rebuild your life if you help it in a symbiotic relationship. For every task you complete, another truth hidden from the public is revealed.

Progression

Progression starts off by granting the player a large quantity of abilities and strong skillsets to play with. As the player completes more and more tasks for the alien device, the stronger it grows, and granting the player more and more abilities and buffs towards already existing abilities. Simultaneously, the player's threat level grows and heavier counters are deployed each round.

Playtime

Players should expect to get anywhere from 7-30 hours of playtime from the base game depending on playstyle, skill, and willingness to change.
