THE WORLD OF LAUGHY CATHY
Game is set in America (not sure if the state really matters yet lmao
1960s/70s: America 'buys out' UK, BIg America big monopoly country
Industrialisation of both countries becomes rampant, covering industrial cities in smog, like an Industrail arms-race (will need more info on this)
Overworked employees with little time off, this, as well as the lack of sun, causes the population to become depressed, a Sadness Epidemic of the 1980s
People are becoming increasingly desparate for any form of entertainment, regular TV shows aren't cutting it anymore, they are desperate for humour and violence
"Laughy Entertainment PLC" [idk working title], begin to work on a new kind of game show that mixes comedy and shock value, with a robotic host that can guarantee laughter and big views. Production for the first Comedy Cathode begins 1992.
The first module, Cathode 1993-1A, is created. She has multiple test show nights named "Game Night with Cathy". The show brings some attention, however isn't thrilling enough for the audience. The engineers try installing a 'blood lust' into Cathy.
During rehearsal for a show, Cathode 1993-1A malfunctions due to an error in programming a more violent microgame. One of the engineers die.
Cathode 1993-1A is abandoned in an alleyway behind the lab, but the employees forget to remove her battery..

Cathode 1996-2A is created. This is the game's current Cathy host. After rigorous testing, Cathy's blood drive is successfully installed, giving the show the manic and disturbing comedy it needed,

Despite the amount of overworked employees, factories are still in need for more workers, hence the creation of robotic life and artificial intelligence to fill up more jobs
THE LIFE AND INFLUENCE OF BEANIE
Beanie is born in 1981 to two hardworking parents that work in the factories. They grow up during the Sadness Epidemic, causing them to act idle and mute.
The smog causes Beanie's parents to become severely ill. Either:
Beanie's parents pass away and Beanie is left to care for themself
Beanie's parents are hospitalised and needs money to pay the bills
Beanie moves into their own flat closer to the heart of the city, and one day comes across "Laughy Cathy's Game Show", - offering a prize of 100k for the winner - which could financially change their life.
Beanie enters the show as a contestant in 2003.
