The Last of Us Part III: Joel of the Dead
Premise: Joel’s body was never recovered. Turns out… the infection took, but it didn’t take over. He’s half-human, half-clicker, and 100% pissed. • Still rocks a flannel. • Grunts like a zombie, but can still play guitar. • Has just enough brain function to hate Abby and protect Ellie, even though she doesn’t want him anymore. • Mutters “I’m a dad…” between hissing fits.
⸻
New Mechanics: • Echo Vision: Detect memories of those he killed, relive trauma, and scream it into the void. • Feral Dad Rage: Temporary invincibility when Ellie is in danger. • Guitar Hero: Fungus Mode: Controls spores by playing post-apocalyptic Johnny Cash covers.
⸻
Tagline:
“He died saving a girl. He came back to save the world.” JOEL OF THE DEAD.
I would like this as a little spin-off game.
It’s a JOKE. What. You guys don’t understand how ridiculous that plot is?
Still sounds like more fan-forward writing than what ND thought was a good idea for Part II.
I hope not. Stories need to move on, else we get Star Wars (except Andor) again with self referential rubbish saying nothing of value.
Let him go.
Dude. Don’t keep the bong so close to your keyboard.
How can I donate to Kickstarter to make that project happen?
