Story Bible document example

It's a document that contains the game's history. Some games have little history or even not at all, especially for "arcade games" 

(For example - Chess? Minesweeper? Maybe a spinoff? Candy Crush? Who knows?) At the same time, RPG games tend to have a strong story (Hint: Final Fantasy 7 remake)

Here's an example, that I created when I was studying Principles of game design by Coursera. My fictitious game name is (DES)Construct it! (if you want the full PDF file, just ask)
