Rivera wakes up in a glade of trees, where an angel appears to her, saying that she is a demigod and has been selected by one of the gods to be her champion. She is whisked away to Temple of the Heavens (the mansion) and is greeted by all of the gods. Most of them have chosen a mighty hulking warrior as their champion but the goddess of wisdom has instead chosen Rivera. They are tasked with the challenge of defeating the giants who are building a tower to the heavens to challenge the gods, but they doubt her capability. She must prove herself by making it through the minotaur’s labyrinth using her wits(the basement).
Successful, both she and the warrior are sent out to fight the beasts that terrorize the humans on earth. While the warrior hacks away at the beasts, Rivera notices that they only attack at night and they are afraid of light, and that the people do not have fire. She must collect fire from the giant’s camp in a stealth mission and give it to the humans who are now able to defend themselves. Pleased, the goddess of wisdom grants her a number of magic artifacts to help her with her final quest: a chalice that is filled with an elixir of temporary invincibility when refilled with water, a book containing a powerful spell that lets her astral project, and a mirror shield.
Her final job is to climb the tower using her mythical artifacts and defeat the giants at the top. At their defeat, the warrior who the other gods had championed becomes jealous and attacks, prompting a puzzle battle where you use the tower’s construction equipment to trap him.
Rivera starts off as a halfling on a farm; a wizard appears to her and tells her to travel to Royal City and meet with the princess. You must do a fetch quest for the local villagers to defeat the goblin bandits who are blocking the path and retrieve the legendary Sword of Unnecessary Power, which she then keeps.
In Royal City, Rivera tries to get an audience with the princess but the Captain of the Guard tells you that you need to kill a dungeon beast before you can enter to prove your worth. You enter and do a puzzle battle with a chimera and gain entry.
You meet with the princess who is your mom. She is being courted by many suitors and knights, and though you try to get her attention, the noise from the suitors drowns you out. Your mom announces that in order to meet with her you must win the joust and so you must sabotage the other suitors to win the joust. Afterwards, you have a tearful reunion with your mom who realizes that fantasy romance is overrated, right as she gets kidnapped by a dragon.
Rivera travels to the dragon’s lair and slays the dragon in a puzzle battle. Mom rescued, you return to the real world.
Rivera is on a caravel (the mansion) and she is trapped in the crow’s nest with a fellow exploration expedition member, who watches with you as pirates seize the deck and go below to round up the rest of your crew. You must swing on ropes and cut them to knock pirates off the ship or knock them unconscious. You go below deck and find that your crew has already dealt with the pirates so you can continue your quest: find the lost relic inside a jungle temple. You must avoid setting off traps or running away from them. At the chamber you must pick the correct key using logic and clues on the temple wall and retrieve the idol.
Next expedition they travel to the far east to retrieve an ancient sword that has fallen into the hands of an assassin clan. Your job is to infiltrate through stealth the clan’s headquarters in a trading port manor and retrieve it. At its retrieval, the sword turns out to be cursed and you and your group enter a parkour dream world where if you die you die in real-life as a test of worth. You and your team live, and the assassins, seeing as you passed the sword’s test, lets you leave with it.
Your team heads back to an American port to take a train back to your city to place the two artifacts in the museum. However, the train is attacked by bandits and you must solve a number train puzzles to first free the train of robbers and reach the engine room, then do a rail puzzle to make sure that the train does not crash by using a whip to pull levers.
Finding herself in the Oxbridge Institute of Science and Engineering, Rivera becomes a chimneysweep in the building. Though the Institute is the leading center of robot technologies and alchemy, recently there’s been a number of unexplained disappearance of students. In the day (while steampunk is in play), she is asked by the Dean (her grandpa) to act as his eyes and find some clues. As a man who hates leaving a mystery unsolved, he does not want to return until this case is closed. At night (when gothic is in play), she spots a vampire and follows it to a locked door. In the day she solves the lock to it (a steam/clockwork puzzle) and inside she spots the missing students, but they are hooked up to pods that are draining their life energy. They are rescued but unconscious, and in the corner of her eye, Rivera spots the vampire slink away to the corner.
When she returns to the Institute, the Dean is worried since all the gear that they found in the locked chamber had gone missing before they could investigate it. During the day and night at first, Rivera must look for clues and find out which professor is the vampire. The steampunk way to defeat him is by setting up mirrors all over the campus to redirect sunlight so that at the right moment the professor is incinerated; the other method is to drink a potion from the alchemy lab that temporarily converts Rivera into a werewolf so that she can confront the vampire and trap him by cutting down iron cages. Mystery solved, her grandpa is satisfied and returns with her.
Rivera becomes the assistant detective for a big time P.I. in the black and white city of Los Chicago, NY. The detective receives a call in his smoky office and a buxom lady with a mink scarf arrives. She is worried about an attack from a scorned lover while she is at a gala at the Grande-Royale Hotel. The two take the job and go to the hotel. They meet the scorned lover (the host), a mafia member, an undercover policeman, a grizzled veteran, a bookish intellectual, and a maid. They have a grand time, but suddenly the host of the gala is found dead in a backroom. The policeman calls for backup and the hotel is on lockdown. Rivera quickly discovers that the detective is completely inept and that she has to solve the mystery herself. She searches through the kitchens and lower floors to find clues and deduces that the maid had killed the host, but as she is about to confront her, she is found dead in the swimming pool. After that the people retire to their beds for the night and Rivera has to move to another genre.
The next morning, she looks around for more clues. She goes to the hotel minbar and she orders virgin white Russian from the bartender. The bartender slips that the police and the mafia have been at fight with each other and that the maid may have ties with with the mafia. You interrogate the policeman and discover he is innocent with an airtight alibi. Then you check with the mafia to see if he knew who may have been troubling her, and he suggests that she looked troubled last night. You check her room and find a threatening letter telling her to kill the host or else her secret affair with the veteran will be revealed. With this lead, you narrow the choice to the intellectual and confront him. He is arrested on the detective’s insistence and the police declare this case closed, but why was the host targeted at all? The case does not sit well with Rivera but she must leave for the time being.
The last session begins in the jail where the intellectual is being held. She asks him about his motive, to which he replies he was framed and that he did not do it. Rivera realizes that they had simply leapt to conclusions by ruling out the other guests and accusing him. She goes back to the hotel, still under crime scene lockdown, and notices that the chalk outline around the host is unfinished despite him working on it apparently all night. The voluptuous client confides that the detective kept making cryptic reassurances at her last night while she was at the parlor. There, you find a scrawl by the detective that matches the threatening letter the maid received. Thus you confront the detective in the office. He is arrested in a puzzle battle, and the case is closed.
Rivera finds herself as a shoujo protagonist who’s late for the first day of school. She sees her brother, clearly a shounen protagonist, but she becomes blocked off by her reverse harem of senpais. She must complete a stealth puzzle to avoid getting by her senpais.
She gets accosted by the class president who tells her she must get more involved and forces her participate in the school festival by filling in for an injured sports team member on every team (who her brother hurt by accident). In order to “power up”, she must make friends on each team who then carry her through the challenges through the power of friendship.
She confronts her brother about his reckless behavior- he refuses to listen to her and they both hear news of a kaiju attack on the city headed towards the school. Her brother runs off to pilot a mech- she must use a necklace from the adventure genre to transform into a magical girl and fly off after him.
The kaiju attacks the school’s upper floors where her brother is piloting a mech; however a risky move on his part fails and ends up destroying his mech. Rivera must rescue her brother and also kill the kaiju before returning home.
Rivera finds herself in the Superhero HQ laboratory where a number of superheroes freak out at her sudden appearance. She asks for her grandma, who has become the Shawled Crusader, and the superheroes leave her unattended. Suddenly, a minor villain appears and attacks, causing destruction to the lab and splashing Rivera with Chemical Y which gives her the ability to conjure pancakes from thin air. She and the Shawled Crusader give chase to the villain and capture him before retreating to his lair. Her Grandma declares Rivera to be her sidekick before flying away.
Rivera finds herself and her grandma in the middle of a bank heist where they are stopping an actual supervillain who the minor villain worked for. Rivera has to set up situations for her grandma so that she can defeat the villain’s minions. However, it is revealed that this was all actually a trap- the villain captures her grandma with her only weakness phlebotinum, delivers a monologue, and whisks the Shawled Crusader away.
Rivera has to rescue her grandma from the superhero lair, but he keeps running away to a new one: [BOSS RUSH]: she goes through the boss phases from previous genres and eventually, she confronts him right before he is about to use some Rube Goldberg machine that will destroy her grandma; Rivera destroys the machine while he’s monologuing and at this point has rescued her whole family.
Rivera wakes up in a bunker and finds that she’s part of a society of survivors of a terrible apocalypse involving zombies, nuclear war, and a corrupt government. This also the day the Selection to choose who will participate in the Trial of the Wastes. She sees her sister get selected and you are barred from leaving by a vault gate. Rivera must hack her way out and follow them into the wastes.
The first trial of the wastes involves getting past the city ruins which are crawling with zombies. Her sister and her fellow teenage protagonists easily clear this section except for the obvious minor character. This becomes a platforming challenge for Rivera as she must hop across the crowd of zombies. (The floor is lava but zombies)
The second trial is to get through the radioactive desert full of bandits on motorbikes. Her sister has already cleared this section but she has no idea of where to go and so must solve a puzzle to lead her the right way (desert maze)
The final part involves freeing your sister as she and her comrades have passed the trials and are therefore “prime candidates for experimentation.” Rivera must enter the Integral and defeat the derivatives who are the corrupt government agents. Despite the friends she has made and being the part of the heroine, her sister decides that she’d rather spend time with her family and leaves.
Rivera finds herself staring out a large window into space, the mansion having become a large spaceship. A crewmember taps her shoulder, saying that they’re almost to their destination, Moonbase Lambda Omega Lambda. Suddenly the PA system starts up, reporting a situation on the bridge requiring all new recruits to report. Rivera hurries over and finds her dad being accosted by the rest of the crew and demanding to see their manager. He is sent to a cell aboard the ship and though Rivera tries to argue with them she is still too low a rank soldier to have any real authority. She must prove her worth by completing the mission on the moonbase, which is to repair the gravity field generator. She does well, ranking up from recruit to cadet, but it’s not enough to free her father.
Before reaching the next mission, the ship is ambushed by space pirates. While Rivera is completing puzzles to shut down the airlocks, she receives news that the pirates have breached the hold and have taken her father. She runs over just to see her father calmly going along with the pirates, glad to finally be getting some fresh air around here. She and a few other cadets cross the ship to take him back (something about no man being left behind), and they must perform a stealth-style puzzle to retrieve him. After accosting the pirate captain she is promoted to corporal and is finally given responsibility over her dad. Before she can leave with him, he accidentally mistakes an escape pod for an elevator to his new quarters and gets launched onto an abandoned planet possibly crawling with hostiles next to a black hole which may destroy the planet. However they are unable to to run after him immediately because of the damage done to the ship during the raid.
Rivera leads an elite squad of soldiers to rescue her dad. They find the crash landed escape pod on the surface. The land is extremely unstable thanks to its proximity to the blackhole(more dropping platforms, funky gravity). She tracks her dad into an abandoned facility where it appears a monster has corrupted the base. The alien is weak to sunlight, therefore she and the soldiers bring down the roof to expose the alien and kill it. Turns out her dad was locked in an outhouse the whole time. After a successful mission they beam out and Rivera and her dad return to reality.
