Amphibia: The Telltale Series

Editor's note: I know a Telltale game based on a Disney Channel animated show is strange, but this is an idea wiki, so we can show our ideas. Also, this idea was made before the end of season 3, so don't expect everything to be correct.

Amphibia: The Telltale Series (titled and marketed as Amphibia with The Telltale Series written in Amphibian text) is an episodic graphic adventure game based on the Disney Channel animated series of the same name. The game was developed by AdHoc Studio, with assistance from Disney Television Animation, and published by LCG Entertainment under Telltale Games. The game had 5 episodes released from June through November 2022.

The game was well-received by critics and was nominated for an award.

Gameplay
The game follows the same episodic format, like the original Telltale's previous games. The game should also serve as a sequel to the original series. Players control 13-year-old Anne Boonchuy who lives in Los Angeles as she later finds out about a new enemy threatening the multiverse. She later regroups with her old friends, known as Amphibians, to assist her. The game is a fantasy comedy made with quick time events, dialogue trees, solving puzzles, and moving around in a free environment where the player could interact with objects and other characters. The game also has the "crowd play" feature, which was introduced in Batman: The Telltale Series.

Series Synopsis
"With King Andrias, the great ruler of Amphibia defeated, 13-year-old fearless girl Anne Boonchuy has been acclaimed as the new hero of Earth. However, the adventure is not over just yet, as Anne discovers a ritual which says of a new enemy that could potentially destroy the multiverse. Together with her friend Sprig Plantar and others, they embark on a wild and crazy voyage across Amphibia and other worlds to stop the enemy from taking over."

Development
Amphibia: The Telltale Series had begun development prior to the airing of the season 2 finale of Amphibia, "True Colors". While writing a script for a video game, Telltale had approached Matt Braly, creator and executive producer of Amphibia, to offer a Telltale game based on one of his projects. Despite the fact he doubted of a Telltale game based on a Disney property, he still chose to accept the offer. One of the first projects by Telltale was Amphibia, which was set to release sometime in late Spring 2022. The game is expected to use the Unity engine. However, unlike the previous Telltale development, all episodes will be developed at the same time rather than standalone development.

Like Minecraft: Story Mode, the team chose to make Amphibia: The Telltale Series a family friendly title, though it is mostly aimed for older audiences. While being interviewed by IGN, Braly confirmed that it originally had a more dramatic story, and it would've received a more serious rating.

The voice cast of the TV show had reprised their roles in the game. Brenda Song confirmed that the game would have a much more serious impact on her character, Anne. Justin Felbinger also confirmed of new features that can't be seen on some of Telltale's games. Scott Porter was also confirmed to be one of the voice actors for the game, though his role wasn't revealed at the time.

The game was first announced at San Diego Comic-Con as "Untitled Amphibia Game". After the season 3 finale, the full reveal was held at a YouTube live-stream hosted by the Telltale Games official channel.

Score & Soundtrack
The score of Amphibia: The Telltale Series had been released on YouTube Music, Spotify and other music streaming services in pairs, with the first part being released a day after Episode 1 had been released. This would go on for the rest of the parts.

A few original songs for the game were written by a couple of artists.

Episode 1 Score by Antimo & Welles

Possible sequel
The post-credit scene of "Battle for the Multiverse" had raised some concerns for the series. Many users claimed of a possibility of a new game to Amphibia: The Telltale Series. Though Matt Braly had not confirmed of a sequel, he said he'd like to do another Telltale game.

Trivia

 * Anne uses her S3 outfit for the events of this game.
 * Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy appear in the game as minor characters.
 * Anne is also the second playable character in all of Telltale's games to have parents, the first being Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series.
 * However, that was a flashback. If the flashbacks do not count, Anne is the first playable character to have parents.
 * Matt Braly had confirmed of many new original characters such as Rue, Sam, Chernobog, Lilitu and Elijah at the time of its first reveal.
 * Since the game is similar to Minecraft: Story Mode:
 * There are many references to characters from that game.
 * Mild depictions of violence were shown if the player does not do anything in time.
 * This is the second game from Telltale to be rated E10+ and PEGI 12.
 * Some mild language like "heck" and "crap" could be heard throughout the game, but not words like "damn" or "hell".
 * Like in the TV series, the word "frog" is used in many explicit sentences as censors.
 * Alex Hirsch confirmed to lend his voice in the game, but like Scott Porter, his role wasn't revealed yet at the time of his confirmation.
 * The main menu was entirely animated by Jenn Strickland.
 * The main menu was originally going to include the song "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers, but this was switched to "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit, then to a score composed by Antimo & Welles until the final decision was made to change the song to the S3 remix of "No Big Deal" by Jakeneutron.
 * However, despite being scrapped, "Rather Be" was used as the first episode's end credits, while "Lean on Me" was used as the final episode's end credits.
 * Antimo & Welles composed the game's soundtrack, remastering some of TJ Hill's work.
 * TJ Hill praised the work of Antimo & Welles' songs, saying they sound better than his.
 * In "The Unknown Temple", if the player chooses to look at a ritual, the ritual will say that Amphibia was once called Amphibiland. This is a second nod reference to the pilot of the show, with its first reference being in "The New Normal".
 * The ending to "Battle for the Multiverse" was changed many times to fit into a normal ending.
 * The BotFrog-Destroyer 3000 is rumored to be the successor to the Silver Frog-Bot.
 * This is the first Telltale game since The Walking Dead: Michonne to not include the text "The Telltale Series", but the Amphibian text underneath the logo translates to "The Telltale Series".
 * The first episode includes a prologue where it includes a recap of the events of the entire TV show itself so far.
