While passing the time earlier, I came across both the HetaOni Dark Fic/Horror fangame ([link]) and Americana Dawn ([link]), the latter being an American Revolution-themed indie RPG that's a homage to Hetalia. An idea came up, even though in all likelihood due to my lack of game programming skills (or significant knowledge of game design for that matter) would never come to reality: What would a Doomsday-verse Hetalia game look like?

What crossed my mind earlier was something akin to what TvTropes calls a Raising Sim ([link]). Mainly, it would have put the player in Austria's shoes as the father figure/protector of Sopron as he tries to raise his daughter to be someone worthy of living up to her (late) mother's name. Since they're both Nations, this would range from politics, diplomacy and even military action to mundane things like teaching little Julia the piano; this would have also meant that the time scale would be in decades or even centuries rather than a few years till her 18th birthday ala Studio Gainax's Princess Maker. series There would also be some exploration put in as well that would involve others like the Alpines and her half-brother Partium.

Another part of it was imagining the endings and where Hungary would fit in. For the former, how she (and in turn the people of Sopron) ends up becoming would depend of both how she was raised and Austria's demeanor. For the latter, she'd likely end up as a sort of guide/advisor/guardian angel whose interaction would be part of a side-quest. For instance, if the player acted like a bastard father, expect a frying pan to be the least of his/her worries...

It's a silly idea, I guess. And probably will never come to pass. But any thoughts?
