Yokai Masks: Cinematic Script is a cutscene script for a conceptual game about a delivery boy possessed by an ancient Oni warlord, fighting to reclaim his former hom from the grips of the tyrannical Daishokku Corporation.
This script takes place in a cutscene where our hero Masato is brought in to face some of the villains, members of the Daishokku Corporation leadership.
The script was written as part of a class assignment on screenwriting. I aimed to capture a comedic feel akin to Hi-Fi Rush. Characters have exaggerated personalities and there's an emphasis on comedic timing. The script adheres to (as best as I could) the traditional Hollywood screenwriting formatting.
The best part was capturing a fun dynamic between Masato, the straight man, and Lord Kobu, the loud and angry spirit possessing him. It was interesting to write two characters that had to inhabit the same body, and to write a script that conveyed that back-and-forth.
