Publisher (Ryan George #2): So, you have a Back to the Future game for me?

Game Designer (Ryan George #1): Yes, sir, I do!

Publisher: Back to the Future?! That’s an iconic movie trilogy! People love Marty McFly, Doc Brown, the DeLorean! So, how does it all play out?

Game Designer: Oh, you’re gonna love this. You’re Marty McFly, traveling through time across five episodes, solving puzzles, keeping history intact, and making sure that the future doesn’t fall apart! It’s like a point-and-click adventure meets time travel—super easy, barely an inconvenience!

Publisher: Nice. So we’ve got time travel, puzzles, and all the Back to the Future charm. I’m in. But what’s the gameplay like?

Game Designer: So, you click around the world of 1930s Hill Valley, 1955, 1985... it’s the whole timeline! You solve puzzles, interact with classic characters, and try not to mess up time too much. You’ve got to keep history intact... or else!

Publisher: Oh, I love a good time-traveling puzzle! Is the gameplay smooth, though? Or does the DeLorean crash every time you try to make a turn?

Game Designer: Oh, no no! It’s just... well, the controls can be a little clunky at times. The camera is locked in a fixed position, so movement can be a little awkward—think Escape from Monkey Island but with more time-traveling madness.

Publisher: Alright, I’m sold. A little awkwardness never killed anyone. So, you’re clicking around solving puzzles, saving timelines, and being a hero. Great—but what about the humor? Does it have that classic Back to the Future charm? I need some jokes here!

Game Designer: Oh, it’s packed with jokes! We’ve got all kinds of witty dialogue, funny references to the movies, and a ton of quirky characters. It’s full of innuendos, too—like when Marty tries to convince Doc to give him a gigawatt of power, and there’s a lot of tension around, “Hmm, how am I gonna get that power?”

Publisher: Wait, what?! I feel like I heard a very different version of that sentence. Is that an innuendo? Or just a very weird line?

Game Designer: Oh no, no innuendo here, just good ol' classic time-travel humor. But trust me, the jokes land!

Suddenly, a loud crash shakes the room. The DeLorean SMASHES through the office wall, and Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and Einstein step out from the wreckage. They look confused, but they're all grinning.

Marty: Oh, sorry about that, we’re just... uh, fixing some time issues!

Doc Brown: Great Scott! Did we land in the right time for the pitch?

Publisher: WHAT?!

Game Designer: WHAT?!

Marty: Yeah, just making sure the timeline doesn’t get all... screwy. You know how it is!

Doc Brown: No time to explain! The DeLorean’s a bit... stressed right now.

Einstein the dog happily barks in agreement.

Publisher: WHAT?! Why are Marty and Doc Brown here?! Are we really throwing DeLoreans into this pitch meeting? How does that help the game?!

Game Designer: It’s just... time-traveling charm, you know? You can’t have a Back to the Future game without time travel in the room.

Publisher: Oh my god. You just brought them in here, huh?

Game Designer: Yeah! Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Before the Publisher can respond, the TARDIS suddenly appears in the middle of the room with a loud wheezing sound and CRASHES through the ceiling. The 10th Doctor and Donna Noble step out.

10th Doctor: Well, this is awkward...

Publisher: WHAT?!

Game Designer: WHAT?!

Donna Noble: Oh, don’t listen to him. He just loves to show off.

Publisher: What in the world is going on?! Why is the Doctor here?

10th Doctor: Oh, I’m just here for a bit of time-travel chaos! You can never have enough of that!

Game Designer: It’s a Back to the Future game, so we’re throwing in some extra timey-wimey fun! You know, because time travel is cool.

Publisher: WHAT?! This is a Back to the Future game! Why are we involving other time-traveling shows in this?! I don’t get it!

Game Designer: Because! Time travel is the future!

Publisher: Alright, whatever. Let’s just move on from wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey madness. What else is in the game?

At that moment, Flint the Time Detective appears, sliding into the room through a portal with his classic detective flair.

Flint: Ah, another time anomaly! Looks like I’m needed here to help you all fix this timeline!

Publisher: WHAT?!

Game Designer: What?!

Flint: Don’t worry, I’m here to help! This time travel stuff is my thing.

Before anyone can react, a giant explosion shakes the room and a portal opens. Out steps Ekko, followed by Jayce, Vi, Jinx, and Heimerdinger from League of Legends/Arcane.

Ekko: Looks like we’ve got a timeline to fix!

Jayce: Oh boy, don’t get me started on how this timeline is off.

Vi: Let’s do this thing, team!

Heimerdinger: Time travel is a delicate process, my friends. Let’s get to work!

Jinx (appearing in a chaotic burst of fireworks, holding a rocket launcher and laughing maniacally): “Time travel? Oh, this is just like the best birthday party ever! Wait, which birthday are we even on? I’ve lost track, but hey, that’s what makes it fun! Who’s ready to blow up a timeline?! KA-BOOM, HAHAHA!"

Publisher: WHAT?!

Game Designer: WHAT?!

Vi: Did we just land in the wrong time again?

Heimerdinger: I’m afraid so, my dear. It’s all quite an unpredictable process.

Publisher: What’s going on here? Why are League of Legends characters suddenly helping Marty McFly?

Game Designer: You know... timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly. They fit!

Suddenly, the Prince of Persia from Sands of Time and the 2008 reboot both appear, looking confused.

Prince of Persia (Sands of Time): I’ve come to fix a broken timeline...

Prince of Persia (2008 Reboot): I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m here to fight for the future!

Publisher: WHAT?!

Game Designer: What?!

Prince (Sands of Time): Time travel is a burden, but we must carry it.

Prince (2008): Let’s just fight some enemies and hope the timeline gets better!

And before anyone can blink, a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure portal opens, and Ringo Roadagain steps out with a flair, snapping his fingers dramatically.

Ringo Roadagain: Time is a true man's world, let me show you!

Publisher: WHAT?!

Game Designer: What?!

Suddenly, a loud voice rings out.

Will Smith: AHHHHHHH, IT'S REWIND TIME!!

Publisher: WHAT?!

Game Designer: What?!

Publisher: Okay, okay... so just to recap... This is all Back to the Future—no random time travelers from other universes, right?

Game Designer: Exactly! We’ve got the full Back to the Future experience—Marty, Doc, the DeLorean, classic time-travel chaos, and more!

Publisher: I’m sold! But what about the writing? Is the humor there? The charm?

Game Designer: Oh, absolutely! The dialogue’s packed with sharp, witty humor that feels just like the movies. Marty’s snarky, Doc’s eccentric, and Biff is the worst, as always! The writing nails the tone of the trilogy. You’re laughing one second, then solving time-travel puzzles the next. Plus, we’ve got a ton of callbacks to the iconic moments and quotes. It’s a love letter to fans, and it never feels forced.

Publisher: Nice! And how’s the art?

Game Designer: The art style is gorgeous—fully cel-shaded, so it feels like the movies come to life. The character models look amazing, especially considering it’s 2010! It’s like stepping into the movie, but without the awkward 3D conversion—everything just clicks. The way Hill Valley looks across different time periods is also fantastic—each era feels distinct and alive!

Publisher: And the gameplay?

Game Designer: It’s a solid point-and-click adventure with great puzzles and a generous hint system, so players will never get stuck in time.

Publisher: Tight! I’m in.

Game Designer: Great Scott! We’re gonna crush it!

Publisher: Wow, wow, wow... Sounds like a real winner. Well, okay then—time to make some Bank For The Future!
