Submission Details

Chosen Trinity

Primary: Melvoir (Idle) — PC

Secondary: Fall Guys (Chaos Co-Op) — Mobile

Tertiary: Wii Sports Resort (Sports) — Console

All Candidate Games

Melvoir (Primary)
Idle • PC
Tags: strong_retention
Why: The game is basically RuneScape (an MMORPG) but in an even more idle form. It has an incredibly addictive loop, and you can earn XP, items, and rewards even while the game is closed. It simulates an RPG without any combat visuals.
Fall Guys (Secondary)
Chaos Co-Op • Mobile
Tags: strong_watchability
Why: My friend slop pick would be Fall Guys, which I think is one of the most fairly unfair games—in the best possible way, haha. Playing it with friends always creates opportunities to scream and unleash chaos, and there’s tons of entertainment packed into it.
Wii Sports Resort (Tertiary)
Sports • Console
Tags: strong_retention
Why: Specifically the basketball minigame. It’s simple, but the way it uses the motion controls is really effective, and there’s a bit of strategy even within that simplicity

Deterministic Violations

No deterministic violations.

AI Violations

Gen-Z Drifter Appeal
Melvoir
The description of Melvoir as an 'idle' game that 'simulates an RPG without any combat visuals' suggests a lack of immediate visual spectacle and engagement, making it difficult for a bored teenager to grasp and engage within 3 seconds.
Required fix: Replace Melvoir with a game that offers instant visual appeal and clear, immediate action that a Gen-Z Drifter can understand and react to within 3 seconds.
IP Alignment
Melvoir
Melvoir's 'Idle' genre and description as an 'RPG without any combat visuals' does not align with Brega's design pillars of 'chaotic/expressive casual' gameplay.
Required fix: Replace Melvoir with a game that clearly embodies chaotic, expressive, and casual gameplay, fitting the Brega IP.
IP Rule
trinity
The inclusion of Melvoir, an idle game focused on passive progression without combat visuals, creates a significant dissonance with Brega's core IP pillars of 'chaotic/expressive casual' gameplay, making the overall trinity incoherent.
Required fix: Ensure all games in the trinity, especially the primary, align naturally and coherently with Brega's 'chaotic/expressive casual' design pillars. Replace Melvoir with a game that fits this IP.
Persona Rule
trinity
Melvoir's nature as an idle, system-driven game that 'simulates an RPG without any combat visuals' directly contradicts the Web Gen-Z Drifter persona's need for fast, reactive, expressive gameplay with zero reading or tutorials.
Required fix: Replace Melvoir with a primary game that is fast, reactive, expressive, and requires no reading or tutorials, directly appealing to the Web Gen-Z Drifter persona.
