Dream Sequence Tutorial Idea:

--screen goes white--

Fade into consciousness:

A cloudy, foggy, smoky open space

The white dream room is full of floating, vaguely glowing white boxes

wasd or ijkl to move

As you approach the boxes, a punch icon replaces the center reticle

click to punch

Melee Attack shatters a few boxes

Melee Attack more boxes

A voice above cackles "Marcy's making a pickle detective game!"

(If looking up, the player can see the mouth of a crocodile in the sky saying this)

The player speaks, "Who's Marcy...? And... what the heck's a pickle?"

The next box broken will reveal a small green item. The center reticle is replaced by a magnifying glass when looking at it.

click to investigate

As the player picks it up with their floating green hand, they see it has a face. It stares back at us surprised.

The camera changes to third person to reveal we are identical but much larger. A pickle with a face and hands. The small pickle person starts screaming. The large pickle person screams back in shock.
