The Strangening

The Strangening is a first-person shooter umbrella game, releasing on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC in late 2020. It is an author appeal project and a joint between EnderLegends and TheFireDragoon. The game recieved costant updates after its launch.
== Gameplay ==
The whole gameplay is greatly inspired by Overwatch, where players compete in objective-based rounds, usually inside a team. Each character has a Primary Weapon, a special ability, and an Ultimate- though some characters have more options like Secondary Weapons and such. This time, the game focuses more on customization to the characters- not only can skins, voice lines, emotes and more be added to a character, but each character has up to 3 weapon choices.
Maps are more complex than Overwatch's, with more room for characters and much more making the map different.
== Modes ==
There are several different modes in the game. There are quite a few "real" modes, such as the Payload and Capture games, but there is also others in the Arcade, like Deathmatch, 3v3 Elim, and the new Splatmatch, based off of Splatoon.
Quick and Competitive Modes
*Capture- A point is in the middle of the map, which you must capture and defend by standing on it, without the other team getting it. It fully captures after 5 seconds of non-contested capturing and then you must defend it for 2 whole minutes.
*Escort- One team plays defense, while the other plays offense. Defense gets 60 seconds to set up defenses while the offense must wait, and then when the gates open the defense has to stop the other team from pushing the said payload to their spawn.
*Capture the Pickle- Now a full fledged game mode, Capture the Pickle is a game mode where you must capture the other team's color pickle and take it back to your own side without getting captured. Getting captured traps you in a little box on the other team's side, where someone must touch and release them all and cause them to respawn at their own spawn.
Arcade
*Deathmatch- A free for all where everyone needs to get kills to raise their score by one point- first one to 20 points wins the match.
*Team Deathmatch- A team-based version of Deathmatch where the whole team must work together to get 40 points on the other team before the other team does.
*Elimination- A 6v6 game where if you die, you're out. Last team standing raises their score, and the first one with 3 points wins.
*Splatmatch- All bullets and attacks will then color turf with an ink color of your team- and like Splatoon's Turf War, whoever inks the most turf wins!
Training
*Tutorial- The tutorial for the game, which will teach you the basics.
*Practice Range- A specialized range to help you hone your skills as a character- there are training bots and different terrain you can use to fully try out your characters.
*Vs. AI- A normal round of a Quick play mode, but only your team isn't automated. The rest is CPUs.
== Roster ==
The roster adds whoever the authors think would make the game have a unique cast of characters.
Character 	Info
8-Bit Mario 	<tabber>Description= 8-Bit Mario is Mario's classic, pixel version from his first Super Mario Bros. game, who is a glass cannon. He is fast, small and a good jumper, though he can't take many hits without getting eliminated. He is an Offense player, being able to do a lot of damage in a little amount of time.
Bender Bending Rodriguez	<tabber>Description= Bender is a greedy, robotic member of the Planet Express crew, a space delivery company in the year 3000. Bender, being over 2 tons in weight and 40% of almost everything, is pretty slow but extremely durable. He fits snugly into the tank category, soaking in hits and shooting out attacks with a pretty slow startup but high payout.
Big Bird 	<tabber>Description= This bird is a giant one, being one of the tallest characters in the game. Acting as a tank, he can take a LOT of hits, and he's also pretty mobile. Using his roller skates, he can even go faster than usual and roll over opponents! His tallness allows him to see people farther away than others.
Coca-Cola Bear 	<tabber>Description= Found as a soft, stuffed bear (for lack of a better image), the Coca-Cola Bear specializes in sniping with his mentos + coke sniper rifles, and can fly a certain distance by using his "Shaken Soda Jetpack", and is a slow but powerful force to reckon with.
Ennard 	<tabber>Description= A amalagation of over 4 robots, Ennard specializes in body-snatching and melee moves. It is fast though his movements can be a little janky. The sides of Ennard's vision show a shadow representing its faceplates, which will change formation when they open. Ennard also can climb walls for a short time, making it a valuable agressive player.
