A game/story idea that revolves the main character, Phoenix, and their adversaries of deteriorating limbs. On this journey, they face two conflicting ideals: one that harms others for a greater benefit and the one that avoids harm for a lesser benefit. Players will have to choose one path over the other in order to cure Phoenix's melting limbs. The character that will aid them is the Witch that resides in a cauldron-like structure.
This game/story is inspired by my struggles with my wrist and eyesight that constantly make me fearful that I won't be able to do the things I want to do. My eyesight continues to get worse and my wrist is often sore and occasionally grows a cyst that makes it difficult to move. While my experience is not exceptional, the idea of not being able to do what you love due to some sort of physical impairment is the core motivation for this. What would you do to bring that back or restore yourself?
