Siren Song [v0.2.0] [Jonesy]

The game Siren Song is the story of Charlotte Cooper, or “Charlie” for short (all of her names can be changed in-game). She is a fun-loving, impetuous young lady who enjoys sunbathing, posting things to Instacam, and streaming herself playing video games on Switch. She *was* looking forward to spending her summer on the beach, basking in the sun with her two besties, Kim and Sabrina. That was until her mom, Rachel, had to leave to work overseas, leaving Charlotte with no one to look after her.

Charlie’s impulsiveness has gotten her and her friends into trouble in the past, making it difficult for Rachel to trust her being left home alone for months on end. Charlotte, who will be turning 18 in just a few days would beg to differ.

Enter Bobby (MC), Charlotte’s father and Rachel’s estranged husband (name can be changed). Bobby is a singer/songwriter. He has been playing music most of his adult life, but has only enjoyed modest success. This way of life has kept him out of the picture for years, causing Charlotte to feel somewhat detached and resentful.

He started out playing guitar in punk rock bands. He toured the country with them a few times, put out a few records, and had a lot of fun, but he really found his true love when he picked up an acoustic guitar and went solo. Over the years he has put out a few albums and toured the world with many other bands. Although he never made it “big”, he is considered by some to be one the great influences of folk-rock. Charlotte is oblivious to all of this, so when she is forced to go on tour with Bobby for the summer, she is less than thrilled. The idea of being cooped up in a van with her dad is pretty yucky.

It will be up to Bobby to win back Charlotte’s affections and show her how much fun traveling and playing music can be. Luckily for him, Charlotte is a little more like her dad than Rachel realizes.

This story does take place in the “Jonesy” universe, but it takes place 5 or 6 years prior to the events in “Christmas Eve” and “New Year’s Day(e)”.
