This Game Made for the thatgamecompany x COREBLAZER 2025

In most action games, violence and defeating enemies through destruction is a common path to victory. However, in Blue Sky, I wanted to challenge that convention by creating an action game centered around faith, compassion, and restraint—all key ideas tied to generosity.

You play as Blue Sky, a hero whose power comes not from brute strength, but from the faith of the people. This faith is directly tied to how you act: attacking enemies makes people lose trust in you, while showing mercy and avoiding harm reinforces their belief. Instead of fighting to kill, the gameplay revolves around dodging, defending, and enduring without retaliation—turning the concept of generosity into a game mechanic.

By sparing your enemies and avoiding violence, you earn the world’s respect and preserve hope. This generous act—choosing not to destroy even when you have the power to—is what ultimately leads to victory. Blue Sky shows that true heroism can come from restraint, forgiveness, and earning trust, rather than domination.

<Story>

In today’s hyper-connected world of social media and live broadcasts, a secret organization called the Shadow Order has risen, spreading fear and disinformation to control the masses. You play as Blue Sky, a mysterious hero whose power doesn’t come from technology or magic—but from the faith of people around the globe.

• When people believe in Blue Sky’s goodness and reputation, his power shines.

• But if fear, doubt, or false rumors erode that faith, Blue Sky grows weak—unable to stand against the villains.
  

How to Play

• Left Click: Perform an attack.

  • Attacking deals damage to enemies, but costs Faith—the measure of people’s belief in you.

• Right Click: Dash forward at high speed.

  • Use your dash to close distance, evade attacks, or reposition in combat.

• Faith Meter:

  • Loss: Each attack reduces your Faith by a set amount.

• Game Over: If your Faith reaches 0, you lose the support of the people—and the game ends.

Stay mindful of your Faith balance: strike a careful mix of offense and heroics to keep the world believing in you!
