Genres
The Games are divided into different territories, the "Genre". They vibe in those Genre and every Genre has its own atmosphere and vibe!
The main antagonists of the story.
This Genre came to life back in the day thanks to the "Index Incident". Many games got on the "index", meaning they weren't allowed to be advertised at all and it was super super hard to get to them. This was done so kids couldn't play those dangerous games.
However, the Index was super strict, and some games, who were "indexed", got free and could go to their actually genre again, like Scarlet K. (Resident Evil 2 Gijinka, WIP) or Ash Fog (Silent Hill Gijinka, WIP).
Nowadays, there are mostly games on the index, hoping to get back to their actual genre, as well as the "lost ones": Games, which are banned in multiple countries and who will most likely stay banned for all eternity.
Leader: They have no true leader, but, since they started the whole Index/age rating discussion, Slayer (Doom Gijinka, WIP) and Dragonblood (Mortal Kombat Gijinka, WIP) are seen as the leaders by many. However, Slayer got mostly unbanned and left into the shooter genre. Dragonblood however is still banned in many countries, so she can't follow her friend into freedom and, together with Tyler (Postal Gijinka) and Pig (Manhunt Gijinka, WIP), she "leads" the banned Genre they are all stuck in.
A very wide and fastly growing Genre. Most Indie Games are on their own, trying to stay out of the war between Banned games and everyone else.
As one of the most diverse group of Games, they also have a wide range of popularity.
Either they are beloved by many, holding great power or they wander through the streets, where nobody calls out their name anymore...
Leader: Determina (Undertale Gijinka, WIP). Their guardians are Voidless (Hollow Knight Gijinka) and her sister Silkless (Hollow Knight: Silksong Gijinka, WIP), who went missing. They have declared no follow up so far, since the games in question (Benny (FNAF 1 Gijinka, WIP), Lili (Doki Doki Literature Club Gijinka, WIP), Vanilly (Cuphead Gijinka, WIP) and Azeroth (Cult of the Lamb Gijinka, WIP) lead a huge fight against each other for some time now. Before that, Mina (Minecraft Gijinka, WIP) was planned to be the follow up, but she moved to the legendary Genre "Cult classics", where the most popular and powerful games go to.
Spoiler: Benny didn't make it to "Cult Classic" thanks to the chaos his siblings caused- /lh
The underdogs of the gaming world. They are often seen as cult, but not many took their time to dig deep into them.
Now, while some of them vibe in obscurity, some have a true cult status, but are talked about rarely.
And so, they are very supportive of each other, helping each other... well, mostly
Leader: Dreamy (Yume Nikki Gijinka, WIP.), her follow-up is Someone (OMORI Gijinka, WIP)
