- present: Levi, Martin, Michael
- absent excused: -
- absent unexcused: -

## What?

- Protagonist lives in a 'dumb' world where he is the only one trying to learn
- Everyone else (NPCs, maybe apart from the `aliens`) are stupid
- Leveling System = knowledge
- Story is completely decoupled from the minigames
- Humor (=Stupidity) will play a huge part!

## Earlygame

### Introduction

- Aliens conquer the world and want to stop the humanity from exploring space.
- They make all humans stupid with their advanced technology.
- The protagonist got braindamage in his early years and had to go through surgery. After the surgery the protagonist had a metal plate inside his head that reflected the stupid-rays.
- To overcome the danger of the aliens the humans have to get smarter again so they can fight back against the aliens.

## Midgame

### Lore

- NPCs tell some really short stories
- Interactable lore pages

### Knowledge

- Increase the knowledge level through successfully completing minigames.
- How?
- Player collects minigames in the overworld and plays them on his `GameBoy`
- NPCs could give hints about minigame locations unknowingly
- Action by persecution from NPCs (aliens)

## Endgame

### Ending

- After reaching a certain knowledge level the protagonist can invert the effects of the advanced technology and make the humans smart again.
- The humans win the fight and are able to explore space.
