This is still in the works, but it follows six (give or take) avid users of social media who have been chosen to partake in a strange game. Each receiving a box containing the prototype of the newest Z-tech phone with an app called SALVATION on it, the users are each granted 100,000,000 dollars on the phone to do with whatever they wish. Actions can be carried out by the phone as well using the personal assistant including murder, orchestrating accidents, and just about anything as long as it doesn't involve time travel or something else that isn't present in the universe. That is keeping two things in mind, their ultimate goal of saving the world and keeping their own identities hidden from the other players. How players choose to go about 'saving' them is completely up to the player, but if their balance reaches zero before the game ends or at the end of the game they aren't announced the victor, they'll disappear.
I was inspired by series like Eden of the East DuRaRaRa! and Mirai Nikki, but there's not going to be anything in the way of killing. Cell phones can be stolen to knock a player out of the game, but money from one player can't be transferred to another player. Every transaction made using the phones will be logged in the public chat, that can also be used for communication between players. Private messaging through the app is also available at a players discretion.
The character sheets aren't going to include much information about their histories and personalities, to let them be built up throughout the story. Instead, they'll be laid out like an Instagram page and the chat profiles.
TLDR; Characters get mysterious cellphone and vague orders to save the world, with a threat that says nothing more than if they were to fail they'll disappear.
