Dr. Seuss' Oh the Thinks You Can Think! (Video Game)

"Oh the Thinks You Can Think!" (marketed as "Dr. Seuss' Oh the Thinks You Can Think!") is a videogame based on the beloved Dr. Seuss book of the same name. It is developed under Avalanche Software, using the same assets and features from "Disney Infinity", making this title a spiritual successor, but without the toys-to-life gimmick. It is also published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (the current owners of the Seuss license). You get to explore various worlds based on the works of Dr. Seuss. Whether it be the cartoon specials or the theatrical movies from the Dr. Seuss Cinematic Universe like Illumination's "The Lorax" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", the upcoming installments, "The Cat in the Hat" and "Thing One and Thing Two" from Warner Animation Group, and even the 2019 Netflix show, "Green Eggs and Ham".
== OPENING CUTSCENE ==
When you start the game for the first time, there's a speck of dust flying at the screen, and as we enter the level editor, you play through a series of events from Dr. Seuss' famous books. This is to give the player an understanding of what to expect throughout the game. The narration is told in the same rhyme scheme as the books. After playing through the opening cutscene, you then start by making a Who to play as in the level creator, where you can spend countless hours building sandbox worlds for players to explore, and even custom mini-games you designed for multiplayer action.
== GAMEPLAY (CONCEPTS) ==
The game is a 3D open-world sandbox game. After designing a custom Who, you will be asked to learn how to make levels. This is optional. In the level creator, all custom characters and existing characters can interact with each other. The story mode levels support local 2-player split screen co-op, whereas the level creator supports local 4-player split-screen co-op.
== STORY MODE LEVELS ==
These levels can be bought at the gift shop via the pause menu. You can only do this in the level creator. When you enter story mode levels and open up the gift shop, only the content from the story mode level you are currently on is available (Like in the "Disney Infinity" playset levels).
"The Grinch" (FREE) - You get this world at the start of the game. It combines "Halloween is Grinch Night" and the 2018 version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" into one full story. Its gameplay is similar to "Grand Theft Auto" when you play as the Grinch, where after destroying parts of Whoville or killing the Whos for so long, local authorities come in out of nowhere and attack the Grinch in hot pursuit.
"The Lorax" (PURCHASABLE from the Gift Shop in the pause menu) - Follows the plot of the 2012 film that kickstarted the Dr. Seuss Cinematic Universe.
"The Cat in the Hat" (PURCHASABLE from the Gift Shop in the pause menu) - Follows the plot of the upcoming 2024 film.
"Green Eggs and Ham" (PURCHASABLE from the Gift Shop in the pause menu) - Follows the Netflix show as closely as possible.
(Others will be added in due time)
