Dogwaffles the jocky, bluntly honest goat; Spork the unicorn; Handsome Jack the ambiguously gay, fashionable tiger.
me: It's a game. unicorn, tiger, and goatpunk are the player options. One's a jock, one's a superhero, one's a drama nerd, and they each assume the others hate them
so you can play through the game as any of them. it's a role playing game, you can interact in a few different ways
they're high school students
Sasha: nice! those look great!
me: their high school is Sinister Mountain High, which due to zoning laws is located in the former fortress of Baron Darkness von Sinister
Sasha: ahahaha
me: it was the only available real estate
Sasha: just like how buffy's school was on the hellmouth
me: so navigating the hallways involves lava and robots

Sasha: like y'do, in high school
so it's a game about how types interact?
or expectations?
me: yeah. it's a game on perspective taking
when you pick a character you get a briefing on how they're "supposed" to act, and why
for example, Handsome Jack the Tiger is part of the drama club, which frowns on socializing outside its ranks. And everyone assumes jocks are ignorant assholes.
and the unicorn, Spork... she's secretly a superhero, but can't tell anyone, so she has the classic peter parker dilemma- she looks unreliable and flaky to others, because she's always running off and skipping class
Sasha: that's so interesting
me: so you play through once, going "wow, these guys are assholes" then you play it again as one of the others, see what was driving them, and ultimately get that no one is a bad guy.
