Box pushing puzzles and mirror-puzzles utilising the camera flash may be appropriate here. -By the end of the level Cammie leaves the town to continue her haphazard search. -[Puzzle Tutorial ends] *STORY ~AREA 1: Cammie's Hometown Outskirts / Coast -In the very beginning of the level, by luck, Cammie finds the first of her dragon friends, knocked out/sleeping on the grass after being taken away by the camera's 'curse'. -Turns out that they are the one dragon that gifted cammie the cursed camera. -[Chrysanthemum joins as companion] ?-Chrys claims that she fainted, and woke up here not know how she got there and unable to find her way home. -Chrys tags along as a companion, giving a rundown of the companion mechanic. -[Companion Tutorial] -After finding Chrys, there will be some basic puzzles that require both Cammie and Chrys to complete, but they'll serve more like tutorials on the companion system and switch-pushing system more than anything else. -Companions can be told to stay, and be switched to. when switched, they can use their perks and abilities. -Chrys is 'useless' therefore has no perk but is still useful as another character that can trigger switches and complete puzzles that cannot be done with a single character. -Chrys will also never leave if unhappy and has to be dismissed by Cammie at the town square. +/(Not sure if the happiness mechanic should be a thing - May make things unnecessarily difficult. We need to discuss this more as a group.) +/(Kav: Im inclined to agree at the moment. Id love to have events where the characters have interactions, banter and stuff, but maybe it should not be tied a happiness mechanic and have it be optional flavour instead.) -Chrys will eventually suggest that you both go down and to talk to Larimar because "she knows everyone" with her going travelling often. -The rest of the level will lead you to a cove/grotto where Larimar is found, mounting a stand alone next to her empty, unmanned ship. -[Enable shop] -You learn that Chrys bought the cursed camera gift from Larimar. -When asked, Larimar confirms the purchase yet refuses to talk about anything else. -Sopwit is found after trying to travel back home by plane. -[Sopwit returns to town] -His rescue introduces travelling between areas. This also unlocks the town square base area and lets you travel there. -From this point on, you should be able to choose to go to any of the Areas to search for clues and items. ~AREA 2: ~AREA 3: ~AREA 4: ~AREA 5: ~BOSS: -As soon as Cammie collects all of the dragon friends and completes the album/scrapbook, she is instructed by the camera entity to go to a specific place so that she can lift the curse. -Boss then lures them all into a room where a battle takes place and you have to switch between all of the characters at different points throughout the battle to beat the boss.
