A Tale of Friendship is the first ever game franchise made by the Deprimus Group.
It begun with UW creating a game called ThePrincess, featuring the Deprimus Group (without UW) trying to save Cassie from David.
The game was a massive hit for the Deprimus Group, prompting AndrewIGD to create a sequel called DeprimusQuest which also was a massive hit. This made Andrew and UW team up to create V3: NewDimension, which would mark the end of the perfect trilogy at the time, which is now considered to be named Questions Arc.
Many years later, UW decided to provide a proper ending for the franchise story by releasing the first entry of the Answers Arc, V4: Intergalactic Voyage. This critically acclaimed release had exceeded everyone's expectations, being UW's best flagship game ever created, blowing even P2 out of the water.
The final game of the franchise, V5, is planned to release in 2026 or 2027.
The game starts with a scene of the protagonist, AndrewIGD, walking around with his classmate Cassie. They encounter Melnic, who plans on fighting them. AndrewIGD manages to turn him away, and takes Cassie to a nearby park. Cassie then attempts to tell the protagonist something important, but is interrupted by David, who also wants to fight. AndrewIGD beats him as well, but Cassie gets kidnapped by David.
The protagonist looks around for David with no luck, and decides to rest on a bench. This is when he meets Pebly, who decides to help him look for David. They encounter Alan in an alleyway, who is defeated very easily. However, when he tries to retreat, MisterInfo appears in the scene and finishes him by roasting him. The player is then informed by Unity (an anthropomorphization of the Unity engine) that he has to either sing a victory song or to roast the enemy, in order to fully finish him.
Everyone heads for the DeHard headquarters, David's company, but they encounter Melnic again. They beat him again, and Pebly sings an accordion song in order to get rid of him. After that, they call David's office via the intercom, and manage to get him to come outside by saying "Pizza delivery". They proceed to win this fight, and AndrewIGD finishes him off with the Pi song.
Cassie then comes out of the building, and reveals that she actually plans to destroy everyone. AndrewIGD manages to beat her, and MisterInfo finishes her off with his guitar skills by singing Through the Fire and Flames. After Cassie is defeated, the universe collapses and the game "breaks". However, UW shows up and executes a couple of commands which reset the scene and show the credits.
The story begins with every one of the Deprimus members being at their homes. MisterInfo is playing CS:GO with some friends. After some times, he hears a screech, but doesn't know what's the source. His house then blows up, along with other buildings in the nearby area. He then texts the Deprimus group with an application called IGDChat that there's a huge spaceship around his home. The Deprimus group doesn't believe him at first, but they convine themselves when they look outside. Meanwhile, some robots break into MisterInfo's home, prompting him to fight them. The deprimus group decides they should help him, except for AndrewIGD, who remains at home programming, oblivious to the situation.
MisterInfo at the moment of the explosion was in his room, so he was not armed at all. His only choice was to fight the robots bare-handed. He manages to take one down, grabbing it's gun, and destroys the remaining robots in his home.
The deprimus group is immediatly faced with incredible amounts of robots. Being split makes this harder for them to clear out the area, but they manage it anyway and they all meet up at the spaceship. Some civilians end up dying, as they were the main target of the robots.
The deprimus group ends up going inside the spaceship, and face another wave of robots. But this time being all together, it makes the job way easier. They find the control panel, and UW launches the ship to the launching site of the spaceship. They clean up another wave of robots, and find Deprimus. Deprimus refuses to fight, so he leaves them to fight his elites instead. His elites consist of:
The deprimus group is met with a challenge for each elite they have to fight. These challenges are the following:
No challenge at all. The only challenge here is to coordinate your team in a way that makes them unable to attack Foolus so he can kill you all.
Difficulty ramps up a bit. Player has to dodge bullets in order to stay alive.
No robots for this one. Confuscius multiplies into 20 copies of himself. Clones have 1 health.
Agilius is extremely fast.
Deprimus group has 1 health. Even the robots have 1 health. Bullets move in slow-motion.
Hlizatus is also fast. But in addition to this, the screen also shakes.
He stands still, but he has a lot of health, and there are a lot of robots that spawn.
This guy is one shot. But you'll have to pass his quiz first. The quiz in which you don't know the answers to.
This guy is inginius. He can constantly teleport and detonate mines around the map.
Finally, they arrive at Deprimus. He is currently depresed because of his loneliness, so he can't fight very well. Because of this, he brings his elites for the final fight. The Deprimus group has to wins this, otherwise Deprimus will take over the world. Fortunately, they manage to beat him and his elites. Deprimus then takes them through some of IGD's games, such as Gunbrawl, MetaTanks, MineRivals, TheQuestForJS and PHPQuest, and challenges the Deprimus group in each and every one of them. The Deprimus group defeat Deprimus in these games too, but he grows in size and health, and gives his final try at defeating the protagonists. Sadly for him, this won't work out for him either. He dissolves into nonexistence, and the game shows a NullReferenceException error, almost making the universe explode. Deprimus turns into Fericitus because the Deprimus group "visited" them. Fericitus then teleports everybody home... Except he doesn't. He actually teleports them into nonexistence, which causes another NullReferenceException to show, making the universe to explode, but only for now...
The game starts with a scene of all deprimus members playing APG's football gamemode, in which MisterInfo, AndrewIGD and KeepKalm lost to UW, Pebly and MetaShifter. They are sent to the lobby in which they have to choose new minigames to play, and suddenly, they see a minigame that not even AndrewIGD knew existed. Encouraged by his mates, he boots up the minigame, but everyone (except MetaShifter) ends up being instantly teleported inside the game.
They are sent to an escape room, but after uselessly searching for a few minutes, Robert finds a paper clip in his clothes. MisterInfo uses this to unlock the door that was keeping them captive, and proceed to get into a maze.
Here, Pebly has to guide the team outside of the maze full of monsters. After 2 stages, Pebly and the crew are met with 2 doors they have to go through. They either have to go through the door with "Eternal life and happiness" or "Jokes is my life" (the typo is intentional). The crew rushes Pebly to go through the "Jokes" door, and they are all met with darkness. KeepKalm grabs his phone that has a flashlight, and they go through the dark level.
After that, they meet Melnic, who found them by using the GPS activated by KeepKalm's flashlight application. He tells them that there's no use in trying to fight him, as there's a bomb ticking in the middle of the stage that can only be defused with instructions located in the real world. After beating him up, AndrewIGD manages to call MetaShifter to help them defuse the bomb. They discover that the bomb was made by a company named CRG. They successfully defuse it, and MisterInfo takes control of the group.
After MisterInfo guides the group for another 3 stages, he meets with Matthew who is demanding the chemistry homework. MisterInfo refuses to give it, as he was being made fun of on the class group chat. Matthew threatens MisterInfo, saying he'll beat him up if he doesn't oblige, but MisterInfo assures the Deprimus group that he'll beat Matthew single handedly. Matthew activates an aim bot, but to no avail, as MisterInfo is still able to dodge his bullets while also destroying him. Matthew loses and deranks to silver 1. KeepKalm now takes control of the group.
After KeepKalm guides the group for a whole another 3 stages, he is met with Jacob, who is (for some reason) angry at the fact that they found him. After Jacob makes fun of KeepKalm, they engage in a poker battle, in which KeepKalm mercilessly beats Jacob, who kept insulting him. KeepKalm had enough of it, so he punched him into infinity by using his martial skills, getting rid of him for good. Everybody now takes control of their own characters.
The following 3 stages tests the skills of everybody in the Deprimus group. The first stage is a simple one, in which Pebly and KeepKalm have to get past obstacles in order for KeepKalm to activate the electricity required to open a door.
The second stage, features an actual escape room with 5 fuses in it. One of them is in the top left corner in the room, in which KeepKalm has to time his knife to get in between two danger zones, that would otherwise kill him instantly. Another one is hidden in one of the boxes. Another one is located in the bottom left corner of the room, in a hidden room in which they have to go through. Another one is in the bottom right corner of the room, in a tight space Pebly has to teleport through in order to push a box and allow MisterInfo in. And the last one is in top right corner of the room, in which someone has to spam A on their controller, while everyone else beats the mob that spawns when doing so. After that, they are granted the last fuse required for the escape room door to open.
The final stage is a test of speed. They have to run as fast as they can before they get hit by the red wall that would kill them instantly. MisterInfo also has to activate all of the fuses in their path, otherwise they won't be able to escape. Mobs are present in the stage, but they aren't strong enough to kill anybody, as they are just a distraction. When they get the door open, they have to climb the Mighty Edge, and then go to the last boss of the game.
In the last room, Deprimus shows up, and explains that he tried to go out with Princess Peach, otherwise known as Cassie, and that it resulted in a fail. The group tries to comfort him, but Deprimus has other plans. He wants to destroy the whole world because of this. With a single press of a button, he would destroy everything. But it is proven that Melnic programmed the button, and that it obviously didn't work. Deprimus one shots both AndrewIGD and UW with perfectly calculated insults. He then proceeds to fight the rest of the group, but he fails. He then proceeds to summon the demons of MisterInfo and Pebly, but KeepKalm manages to stop them. Deprimus enrages and becomes Nervosus. After the group beats this one last phase, Deprimus shoots a ray that weakens everybody, and says: "Any last wishes?". MisterInfo has a wish, and that being: "You forgot the pizza in the oven". The universe explodes, and the game cuts to AndrewIGD's home, in which everybody comes upstairs in the living room.
V4 continues after the incidents of V2. The Deprimus Members get transported to another dimension, and find about CRG's plans. This prompts them to go on an intergalactic voyage to save the planet. See the game's wiki page for more information.
