The game takes place during the Orion Trade Federation(OTF)-Doomuli Incursion War. It stars PalmMan as the main character as he operates on behalf of TRIAD. The primary mechanics work around a heavy weapon customization system. Allowing the player to change PalmMan's arsenal to fit the situations he finds himself in. The game has several chapters each encompassing different parts of PalmMan's operation.
==Plot Synopsis==
The events of PalmMan take place a few weeks after the Nucaval Colony attack. A rise in Doomuli activity along the OTF border had brought TRIAD to a dilemma. The leaders of TRIAD concluded the best course of action was to quash the next Doomuli force on its home turf. As such Alabastus, the leader of TRIAD ordered his highest operative, PalmMan. His goal, to infiltrate and destroy the Doomuli base on the dense jungle planet, Silmhatik.
This operation would need PalmMan to cross the Central Military Committee (CMC) territory. This forced the operation to be one-manned, to avoid arousal of suspicion from the CMC. Arriving on Silmhatik PalmMan found the planet's original inhabitants enslaved by the Doomuli. Though their technology was primitive, the native population had profound skill in magic.
After landing, PalmMan first infiltrated the Doomuli's border wall. The large structure keeping the enslaved natives within. PalmMan managed his way into the inner territory. He discovered underground movements by the natives against the Doomuli.
PalmMan found the native Silmhatiki people were already conducting guerrilla tactics. PalmMan's operation forced him deeper into the Doomuli territory. Along the way taking out strategic points of the Doomuli's control. The Silmhatiki managed to exert their power, regaining their lost temples. These temples as PalmMan would discover housed powerful artifacts. Built by an ancient despot, their power struck fear within the Silmhatiki. The Doomuli invasion had a wave of resentment that overruled this fear.
PalmMan's operation had weakened the Doomuli's defences. Due to being a one-man mission it was difficult for the large but slow army of the Doomuli to mobilize. With the temples freed from Doomuli suppression, the Silmhatiki rebellion began in earnest. The ancient weapon disabled many of the Doomuli's robotic forces. With the path to their command centre open, PalmMan pressed onwards. Confronting the Doomuli commander, Mine Man, PalmMan emerged victorious. The Silmhatiki people managed to disable the Doomuli's invasion fleet. PalmMan also managed to get details on future invasion plans against the OTF. With this new knowledge in hand, the Silmhatiki bid PalmMan farewell. With the return of PalmMan, TRIAD brought light to these operations. The intensity of the coming Doomuli invasions managing to catch the CMC's attention. Though still unwilling to allow large-scale operations through their territory. The CMC had begun to make concessions for the OTF, to prevent Doomuli invasions of their planets.
==Gameplay==
PalmMan's gameplay is that of a Third-Person shooter. The player controls PalmMan as he navigates through each chapter of the game. The player's main weapon is PalmMan's arm cannon.
The Arm Cannon is customizable allowing the player to alter it for many scenarios. Encountering enemies involves small skirmishes or large-scale encounters. Gameplay encourages fast movement and herding. Herding is a mechanic the player learns throughout the game through tutorials. Unique to the game is a Fear System in which enemies behave in ways helpful to the player when afraid. Herding as such involves using fear to group enemies together and take them out with a single shot.
Customization of PalmMan's weapon comes from several sources. The Data Chip collectible provide unique bonuses that reward exploration. Defeating enemies rewards the four currencies; Copper, Gold, Plasma and PSI-Metal. Herding increases the amount of these currencies the player can get from each enemy. The different currencies factor into the player's upgrades.
The game also features light platforming elements and stealth elements. Both of these factor into the game's fear system. As the player can use their superior movement to flank enemies.
