Armed and Armless

The three characters - The obligatory muscly white guy (but this time with four arms), the obligatory female and the obligatory black guy

It's pretty much just a badass platform shooter, with blood and gore and more blood and bits of gore that get stuck to things and bleed a lot. Plus the usual action-movie one liners "If I had fingers I'd be flippin' you off!", "I may be armless but I ain't harmless!" and "I may have four arms but I got no forearms" (for the character with four arms - duh).

The characters come from a religion where hands are seen as the bane of human existance - after all hands are used for much destruction as well as construction. Hands choke, punch and wipe the shit off many a buttock. Therefore the removal of hands is performed early in one's life, much the same way as one would be circumsised. Feet are also chopped off, but no-one's too sure why as someone spilt coffee on the original transcript of their holy book covering this section.

The Holy Society of the Elbowless has been going through a steady declination over the years with less and less followers. According to the great prophesy, In the year 2015 the three remaining members of the One True Religion will grow worried, and realise there is only one way Man can repent his sins - every human on Earth must be converted - or killed.

So the three build themselves weapons and prepare for the ultimate crusade.

In the gameplay you will have to cause as much destruction of everything as possible. Eventually citizens will fall in line and turn to the Holy Society - or die. Once everyone in an area has converted (or died) you can move to the next.

Killing innocent civilians, destroying buildings, killing authorities will raise belief, killing already converted citizens will lower it (the converted ones are the ones with stumps for limbs, moving slowly and spraying blood).

Gameplay will either be 3/4 view (such as in old RPG games) or a straight platformer.

@coolgeorge:

They're pretty much assholes. And why the guy has four arms? Dunno. Maybe there'll be some crappy in-game backstory I'll add in at the last minute.

@Adventus:

I don't think either of you get it - their hands ARE the weapons now. I can't make them have many weapons because that would involve complicated medical procedures inbetween levels or whatever. And I mean, that's just silly.
