Swindlers of the Beat

AN OPENING CUTSCENE

Swindlers of the Beat compiles a screenplay, dialogue spreadsheet, casting sides, and a list of worldbuilding references and details for the opening cutscene of a hypothetical singleplayer narrative-heavy choice-making game.

The game follows the illegal pursuits of a scrappy thief in a cyberpunk world, looking to cheat a big-name socialite out of their hefty family inheritance. When an unexpected murder takes place on the same transport they’d planned their heist for, they must do all they can to prove there’s no blood on their hands–even though there is extra money in their pockets.

The Excel spreadsheet contains the opening cutscene in and three additional scenes in Excel format, as well as a glossary of terms.

The Word document contains the opening cutscene in screenplay format, casting sides, character descriptions, and character/setting reference images.
