Wonder Works Studio/OB RP

OB RP (formerly called Overlook Bay and Overlook RP) is a Roblox game developed by Wonder Works Studio, which was released in May 2020 as a paid access experience that could have been purchased for 25 Robux. The game is now free to play.
== Gameplay ==
Overlook RP focuses around collecting the in-game currency, Emeralds (formerly Gems), which can be obtained by engaging in jobs, raising pets, and participating in special activities such as fishing and mining. Emeralds can also be purchased using Robux. Players can exchange Emeralds for pet pods, tools, pets, and houses.
=== Tutorial ===
Overlook RP's tutorial guides new players through the gameplay features of the game, such as avatar customization, customizing their house, earning Emeralds (through activities such as fishing and mining), and obtaining pets.
=== Inventory ===
The inventory is one of the most vital components of Overlook RP and holds all possessions of the player. A player's inventory is divided into 6 parts, namely the 'Pets' category, the 'Collectibles' category, the 'Food' category, the 'Vehicles' category, the 'Tools' category, and the 'Storage' category. Items under these categories are further sub-divided on the basis of their rarities, which are as follows:
* Common
* Uncommon
* Rare
* Ultra-Rare
* Legendary
* Godly
* Mythic
=== Pet Pods ===
Pet Pods are items in Overlook RP that fall under the 'Pets' category in a player's inventory. These items can be equipped and thrown by players, which in turn, would yield them a pet corresponding to that particular pet pod. On the basis of their current status in-game, pet pods may be classified under the following criteria:
* Currently obtainable pet pods: These pet pods are currently available in-game and can be purchased by players from their respective 'pet pod machines' located inside the pet store.
* Legacy (unobtainable) pet pods: These pet pods were formerly a part of the game prior to the Overlook RP update.
** Ocean pet pods: These pet pods could have been used by players to obtain exclusive ocean pets.
** Exclusive pet pods: These pet pods were generally limited to special events.
=== Pets ===
Pets are assets that accompany a player in Overlook RP. They can be found under the 'Pets' section of a player's inventory, and can be obtained out of pet pods, in exchange for Gems or Robux, or from special events. On June 18, 2021, as part three of the Arcadia Isle Expansion event, Overlook RP released a new update where they added 'Ocean Pets' to the game.@WonderWorksRB on Twitter These Ocean Pets were accompanied by three new pet pods, which were the Bubble Pod, Ocean Pod, and Treasure Pod.
