The story

Follow a group of players who meet in an online game. They have different situations, but end up with a common goal, to exploit a loophole and make a living playing videogames

Set in a fictional game, with a similar virtual economy to TF2 where players trade skins and hats often even ignoring the actual game and
Inspired by our own experiences growing up playing MMOs like WoW, runescape, and community server games like TF2, Gmod, just to name a few

Beyond the story

One of the game's main focus is the relationships our characters forge. Anyone that played online games growing up knows these thoughts: Does that community I hung out with still exist? I wonder if the guild is still active. And what about that homie that told the wildest jokes? Is he still alive? He probably got married and has kids now. Hey he's online... No, I'm not gonna send anything, he probably doesn't even remember me. What if the other side thinks the same?

Friends we still remember, but never met face to face. Hundreds, for some thousands, of hours with people who one day might just have their last match together, their last raid, without even knowing it. "GG see you tomorrow", last seen online 10 years ago.
Where is everyone, and how are they doing? Do they remember? Convento is a love letter not just to videogames, but to the gaming community as a whole.
