This is a prequel to the adventure game The Murder of Jack Walker. An adventure game I am writing for NWAG. In this introdutory post I will explain some things about the world where the story takes place. The story is told from the point of view of Jack Walker. Who is a 12 year old lieutenant in his neighberhood's community guard. But I will explain what that is.
Community guard: In the year 2090 the United States passed a new law allowing neighborhood's to create a community guard. These community guard members would be aloud to weild weapons in defense of their neighborhood. This was due to the increasingly high number of assaults and armed robbery within these neighborhoods. These members would be given immunity from murder or assault charges as long as they are killing/assaulting someone who was attacking the community.
Magic: magic exists. But the only people who know it exists are, the government, people who weild magic and people who have seen it. Magic is so dangerous in this world that the government has created anti-magic weapons and given them to each neighborhood.
Generals/lieutenants: Generals have less restrictions than anyone else. For example they can weild any weapon they want. The general in this story's neighborhood is John Walker, Jack's father. Lieutenants have the 2nd least amount of restrictions. The only weapons they can't use are rocket launchers/other illegal weapons.
Demons: rumors have been going around about demons/monsters existing. The rumors were that the government was experimenting with creating monsters and demons to be soldiers. But that couldn't be true? Or could it?
Superheroes: This world has many famous sueperheroes. The only 2 still alive are Wolf Samurai and Falcon Ninja. Wolf Samurai has the power to chanell Animal spirits. He is also exceptionally skilled with a katana and has various other powers. Falcon ninja can fly, has magic disrupting daggers and can also channell animal spirits.
