A JOURNEY INTRO THE RETROVERSE

Typical freezing winter’s day. A group of papa bears wander into a cave to get away from their wives for the night. It’s a lavish cave. Huge. Lots of cozy corners and comes with fresh water supply! They bring snacks and games. Unfortunately, climate change kicks in and ice storm traps the bears inside. They decide to wander deeper into the cave to hunt for another possible exit.

Miles later they see a soft pink light coming from the distance. Everyone erupts in excitement but one hesitates. “I don’t know you guys, something feels weird.”

“That’s cuz you ate all the Cheetos. Stop being such a square and come on.”

Hesitant bear bows his head in shame as the others begin to run full force towards the light. He thinks they’re yelling with joy but they’re actually being sucked into an open space portal. By the time he looks up, it’s too late. Everyone has disappeared?!

Meanwhile, all the other bears are tumbling over each other and stars. They start ageing backwards, hairstyles change, new clothes zap onto their bodies and PLOP, PLOP, PLOP, PLOP–land in a giant pile on the pavement of the Retroverse.

The Retroverse. A not so distant land both futuristic and vintage. Filled with endless entertainment, music, food, fashion, metafriends. The bears unanimously decide to stay forever and name themselves after their one lost friend, Square Bears.
