Story

Symbiotic is a sci-fi action-drama visual novel with dark undertones, and a love story the likes of which will be a roller coaster of emotion. As Zaydin and company go through the rigorous training to master the use of their symbiote partners, they must overcome numerous obstacles and fight enemies far beyond their control, all while dealing with the emotions that come with being teenagers. The race is on for the survival of mankind in this grueling war with another world!


Zaydin is a young, complicated kid trying to cope with the loss of his mother, an evil entity attempting to control his mind, and the war of the worlds' waged by alien Symbiotes who have come to eradicate or consume all life on earth. While attending the Symbiote Combat and Research (SCAR) institute, the principal of the establishment, Neolinus, acts as his caretaker/guardian, at the request of Zaydin’s deceased mother. Neolinus is seen as a pain in the ass to the young orphan, but in reality, he doesn't know the first thing about raising a child. Elliosa and Kadin, the friends Zaydin never wanted, have extremely different views on him. Elliosa has a major crush on him and wants him to be happy. On the other hand, Kadin, being the protective big brother type, views him as a dangerous royal douche; though the question of why he hates him so much still lingers. The group of kids are joined by their symbiote partners. Tama, who belongs to Zaydin, Elliosa’s lovable friend Pinkie, and “tough guy” Spike belonging to Kadin. Together with the rest of the school, they will discover what it means to be at war, not only with the aliens, but with their own emotions as well.

About

Seasons & Chapters:
This Visual Novel is based around a system of Chapters and Seasons. All chapters within the first season would be free to play once you have bought the game, and those chapters have been released. The following season would be a purchasable DLC due to the size and amount of content that would be put into it. Chapters come out when they’re finished, so you don’t have to wait for the season to be finished to continue the story.

Season 1:
The first season begins with introductions to the cast of characters. The main protagonist, Zaydin, is rebellious towards SCAR Institute and his caretaker, Principal Neolinus. Zaydin must go through this war of the worlds while dealing with his emotions, repressed memories, "friendship" with Elliosa, rivalry with Kadin, an unintentional friendship, and a dark evil presence dead set on controlling his mind. The war that wages between Earth and the symbiote planet, Metamor, threatens to destroy everything, forcing the children of Earth to rise up and protect the planet; however, another looming threat could undo all that the school has done to protect the planet. As you progress through the story you will be sent on missions to kill the Sym-Monsters sent to Earth. Zaydin’s ego and bad temper constantly get him into trouble, whether it’s his caretaker, Class S president Alastair, or even his own “friends”, Zaydin acts out and antagonizes everyone around him. The question is if he is he doing it because he’s a bully, or for some other reason...

RPG vs. Story:
When starting a new game, you are given the option to play through it in RPG Mode or Story Mode. These modes give different types of players the option to play how they want.

• RPG Mode is how the game is meant to be played. Allowing you to explore, find secrets, and have conversations that uncover more about the various characters you run into throughout the course of the game.
  
• Story Mode lets you read through the story of the game as a regular Kinetic Novel without any of the RPG elements halting story progress. This is more for those who just want to read the story, and don't want to play the game. In this mode you are not able to explore, find secrets, or have the conversations that would let you get to know more about the characters outside of the main storyline.

Psychopath or Savior:

As you progress through the story and missions you will be given a choice that decides whether you will be punished like a villain or hailed as a hero. In missions you can fight Sym-Monsters and save Civilians. It is required that you fight and kill a certain number of Sym-Monsters; however, it is NOT required that you save civilians. This gives way to a moral dilemma; do you save everyone like a true hero, or do you let them all walk into the fates they would have endured had you never even arrived? Doing either of these to an extreme degree may result in a secret ending as well as changing the game later down the line, recruiting allies, or causing you to encounter something truly terrible…

Visual Novel Styled as a Kinetic Novel (Kinda)

"A kinetic novel is a linear type of visual novel where no narrative or gameplay choices typical to the latter are presented."


Symbiotic is more akin to a Kinetic Novel then a traditional Visual Novel, since the story is more linear and the ending is the same regardless of what you ultimately decide to do; however, it is possible to change the difficulty and variety of the game, as well as changing HOW the ending plays out. As mentioned above, you can get a Psychopath or Savior ending in every chapter of the game; with this comes new challenges, allies, or minor story aspects you wouldn't see otherwise. The new allies can replace party members in missions allowing you to customize how you play through the missions. The challenges come in the form of unique enemies that are angry, vengeful, and prepared to kill anything they see.
