I had this idea in my head and I really liked it, but it still needs a lot of work and I'm looking for some collaboration.
Each of you are a Watcher: an individual who has been whisked away into an alternate world by some mysterious means. Each Watcher is assigned a Proxy, which is pretty much a young child no older than 14. This world you are in is known as the Alt-World for the time being, and it's exactly similar to the previous world except it has had no human interaction.
Now, the Proxy is your lifeline - as in, if they die then the Watcher dies as well. On the other hand, the Proxy will continue to live if the Watcher dies, but become Savages - cannibalistic children who hide in the mountains and forests throughout the Alt-World. The Proxy gives the Watcher its strength, endurance, willpower, etc - everything you need to survive in this world; they have absolutely no memory before your arrival and do not even know their own name. However, the longer the Watcher stays around the time the more they begin to remember, and they begin to develop strengths and weaknesses, a personality, etc. They can provide useful information on the world, can guide you, interact with specific locations, and much more.
The goal is to find a way back into your other world, but you'll also be investigating the nature of the Proxies, the purpose of the Watchers, what the Alt-World is, and much more. I intend to have a lot of vague references as to who the Proxies are and how you came to this world.
But the canvas is pretty blank and I am open for collaboration. I already know what the Alt-World is, I already know what the Proxies are, and I already know what the Watchers purpose is, so I don't need much help on that. Just... throw out some ideas.
