Cleanup Crew would be a juggernaut style Asym game where the “survivors” are the titular Cleanup crew and the “Killers” are Interlopers.

The Cleanup crew are a specialised Task Force, made to deal with threats from another dimension after too much tampering with Dimensional Technology went wrong, weakening the barrier between the two.

The Interlopers are creatures from the other side of the portals, some existed there for who knows how long and others were created through more experimental methods.

The Cleanup crew, after buying their weapons and choosing specialisation, are sent out into the field to take down the Interlopers before they wreak havoc on more of our dimension.

The Cleanup crew workers are:

The Skirmisher: a high speed class focused on being annoying, weaving in and out of combat with low health (think scout tf2)

The Tank: a high health class made to soak up damage and provide the team with protection, at the cost of speed.

The mechanic: a support class focused on support fire, extra health and ammo (Engineer tf2)

The Battle Medic: a support class made to rush in, get some damage in, heal an ally and then get out.

Each member of the team has to coordinate themselves to work off the situation or risk death, even with 3 lives that’s still finite.

The Interlopers must kill the cleanup crew, but also survive, each with their own moveset in order to keep living:

The Minotaur: a large bull like being, ruthless in its melee assaults with the ability to break certain objects in the map.

The Clones: A failed copy of a Cleanup Crew agent, leading an army of weaker flailed clones, filling up the map.

The Looper: A creature with understanding of the portals beyond our own, able to use them to get around quickly and get the jump on our agents.

I’m probably gonna make more of this, but my book based Asym will still have concepts made for it.

This was heavily inspired by The Backrooms, Project Moon, specifically Abnormalities and W-corp, and fast paced Shooters like ULTRAKILL.

Rules:

• I have an hour of prep time to find any weapon I can get my hands on
• We are both standing 20 meters apart from each other in an empty, open, flat field
• The character is at their lore strength at the strongest point

Both are literature characters who are extremely different from those around them, Lennie having mental difficulties and is discriminated because of them while Meursault is estranged from society and seems emotionless, leading to him being judged for it.

Both end up with a woman they don’t really know their feelings for but end up caring for anyway. Curley’s wife and Marie.

Both end up killing a person, Curley’s wife and The Arab, due to circumstances they couldn’t really control, Lennie’s strength and the sun, which leads to a group of people wanting them dead. The other farm hands and the jury.

However, there are people who see past the killer and the outcast, George and Meursault’s friends.

Both end up dying at the end of their books, Lennie being shot by George and Meursault being taken to be executed.

While Lennie died via a gun, Meursault shot the Arab to death.

Lennie is emotional whereas for the most part of The Stranger, Meursault barely shows emotion and is relatively indifferent.

I could see the battle being similar to Animal Farm vs Lord of the Flies or The very hungry caterpillar vs The Caterpillar, in where it starts off as a normal battle, but then a mob catches both of them and drags them to court, in which they’d face trial and throw a few subtle disses at each other throughout. The battle would end on a riverbank beach, where Meursault would kill Lennie with a gun before the mob catches up to them again, to save him from public execution.

I think one would be cool, I saw someone else do it and might as well blatantly copy their idea with my own changes, what book characters would yall like to see in this concept?

Mutation is a concept inspired by a game that I have thought of for a while, but in an Asym type format. To compare it to any other Asym game I would have to say Evolve

Mutation doesn’t have multiple killers, instead only having one fleshy pile that has infested someone and is now actively seeking to be freed from the test site.

Instead of choosing between different killers, you choose between a bunch of weak abilities you start out with, be it a bone shard projectile, a leap or anything else within reason.

But as the killer gains biomass by draining corpses and injuring the other players, the killer can upgrade their abilities in various different ways, be it firing more bone shards like a minigun or having a longer leap. There would basically be an entire skill tree for each ability you can choose.

The survivors, or The Task Force, have to kill the killer in a juggernaut style to save their own lives, armed with many weapons that they can find around the maps as well as inate skills for each class.

It never changes, I am always drowning, no matter how much air I have, I will I always drown.

So much blood on my hands, the blood of families with children, the blood of innocent people who have committed the most trivial of atrocities, just towards the wrong people.

The glowing lights, the deafening sounds, golden chains bind me to the bottom of this lake.

I can hardly see the purple anymore, not with the blood on my helmet. The book I carry nothing but pages and pages of petty grievances, I wish I could smudge the ink so I don’t have to see the names.

A War I joined without wishing too, so much more violence against people who are not enough like me to be my brothers and sisters, but still enough to feel sorry for every head my anchor has dented.

I cannot leave my Golden chains, for I will finally succumb to suffocation if I do, by the hands of those I once called family.

I do not hate my siblings, I do not pity them, all I want is to stop the drowning.

I’ve heard a bunch of people, siblings and members of other fingers talk about this weird voice, saying it’s calming and the likes, but I haven’t heard it.

Should I seek this voice out and what should I know about it before I do?
