Lievnu

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A FANON SAGE ENTRY IDEA, AND IT WOULD MOST LIKELY WON'T BE REAL

Lievnu (stylized as "LIEVNU") is a Pre-Apocalypse lightgun game that has Time Crisis and The House Of The Dead as it's biggest inspirations, it is made by a group of six people, the game was first presented at the SAGE 23' Expo Trailer

Main Game
The game follows a girl in her late-teens named Sophie "Sofi" Garcia, who has found out of the apocalypse by announcement, she randomly finds a handgun, and she sets for a quest to prevent this apocalypse

Gameplay
Lievnu is a lightgun game that uses three action buttons/commands, two will make the player switch sides (a la Time Crisis 5), one will allow the player to reload (and hide as well, since this is a Time Crisis clone), and one weapon switch button (only works if the the "Switch Method" option is set to "Modern").

Basics
The player has to shoot all the enemies on-screen (although some can escape), the player can switch sides, and the player reloads by pressing a reload button (on PC), in which makes your character take cover as well.

Branching Paths
Some stages have two paths, and the choice is done a la House Of The Dead III, if you don't decide after the 10 seconds are up, the choice is done by random, one route is easier, one route is harder...., the harder route would be more dangerous, but it would allow potential for higher score as there are more enemies you encounter in the said route, in some stages, you fight the boss in that said path, in others, you go back to one path point and fight the boss there.

Life Point Meter
There exists a life point meter, if you fill it to 100%, you get an extra life, missing a shot will reduce the bar by 20%, if you actually filled it to 100%, you will get an extra life and the bar resets to 0%, taking damage and shooting civilians will reduce the bar to 0%

Trivia

 * It's the first SAGE entry to be a light-gun game

Tropes

 * 1-Up: There are two ways of getting more lives, by getting good grades by the end of stages (A nets you one bonus life, S gave you two bonus lives), or filling your "Life points" meter, where you shoot enemies to fill it up, miss a shot however and the bar decreases (you lose 20 life points per missed shot).
 * Anti-Frustration Features
 * If it can be damaged, vehicles won't take away life points if you shoot them, although it does not add up to your life points.
 * there is an option called the "Easy Detect", which makes the bullets act like in the second Time Crisis game (and onward), where the bullets that does nothing are yellow, while the ones that will definitely hit the player, are in red, complete with an effect that is triggers on the attacker's hand/gun/turret/whatever, it's on by default, when turned off, the bullets are like the ones from Time Crisis 1, where the bullet had a random chance of damaging you.
 * If you end the stage with a 1/2 life unit, that 1/2 life unit becomes a whole life unit again
 * Hostage Spirit-Link: Two versions, shooting civilians will actually make you lose life (or a half-life unit if you have three lives or less), while shooting allies won't kill them, but you simply lose score.
 * No Celebrities were harmed: One of the bosses, "Linka" looks very similar to Sssniperwolf.
 * Pinball Scoring: in the increasements of 100, although you normally gain thousands of points
 * Player Death Is Dramatic: The Game Over screen would be very similar to the ones from the first two House of the Dead games.
 * Shout-Out
 * The game over screen shows your character collapsing on the ground like the first two House Of The Dead games.
