What's the theme/hook?

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. It takes place in a fantasy world with magic and such.

I don't mind divulging a bit of the plot here. It's a parody of CypressZ's game Overwhored, a parody of another game called Overlord. My game is called UnderPured and follows the story of a young man newly appointed as an oracle. An oracle selects heroes from all over the world to defeat the demon lord. The young man has the power of purification, through which most mind control in the game is done. He is a prodigy at purification magic and can conquer even demon generals with his magic.

No offense, but you probably shouldn't be purposefully making a parody of a parody of a parody (as Overlord itself is a very tongue-in-cheek generic fantasy). Or, at least that makes for a really poor elevator pitch imo.

Seems a bit odd that mind control is done through something called 'purification', unless the idea is it "cleanses" the target's mind of thoughts or something. Maybe it's just me reading into things a little much, but it says a lot about a populace giving something that disturbing such a pleasant name.

Minutia aside, what's the tone? As in, full on wacky comedy or a mostly serious drama, how hard (or deep) do you intend to go in on the MC elements, how large of a primary cast or story are you planning?

Well, there's more to the lore that I haven't divulged, but damn, Finn. You're a savage. I've given this general pitch to several people, including CypressZ, and none of them had a problem with it, that they mentioned, at least.

The game has many different types of mind control, but the MC uses purification magic in myriad meticulous ways. It's mind control with extra steps, but the populace is unaware of its potential in the hands of the MC. Your idea about cleansing impure thoughts is possible, but I'm still working on some others.

Anyway, the tone is a light-hearted comedy with mild, serious undertones—just enough to move the story along. I intend to make the MC elements very heavy. The cast will probably be a standard eight-man party with some interchangeable members. I'm planning on making the story maybe 12 or 13 dungeons long. Sorry, I don't know how to put that into hours.

Personally I think having a chosen hero type star in a mc centric game thanks to minutia in how his power actually works is funny and creative, plus purification is already pretty common on the hub, so I dig that aspect of the game at least.

Thanks, Bashirider. I'm still working out the plot, but hearing someone approve of part of the premise is reassuring.
