Summary

South Park: The Stick of Truth is a role-playing game set in the town of South Park, developed in collaboration with series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Players control a new kid who joins a city-wide live-action role-playing game among the local children, which escalates into a conflict with larger stakes. Combat uses a turn-based system with timed button inputs, and the game features exploration, side quests, and the humor of the animated series.

Storyline

A child known only as the New Kid has just moved to the small mountain town of South Park, Colorado. Venturing outside for the first time, the New Kid is immediately drawn into an elaborate live-action fantasy war between the neighborhood children, who have split into rival factions of humans and elves battling for control of a relic they call the Stick of Truth. Led by the scheming wizard king Cartman on one side and the elven king Kyle on the other, the conflict escalates well beyond a simple children's game as genuine dangers emerge and threaten the entire town.
