## 1. The Elevator Pitch

**In one sentence, what is this game?**

> *(e.g., "A first-person frog who navigates a dangerous road and river in a retro-inspired FPS.")*

A first person FPS game that highly customizable where almost all stats is open to changing with mechnacis changes stats. So every item or power is a modifier to everything. It isn't frogger the video game but a rogue-lite dungeon explorer that an FPS that you shoot spirits of different types of frogs (two 2D sprites).
