The genre and storyline of Upgrade, that's irrelevant. Make them whatever you want. The idea here is the asthetics. The game will start as the most basic, old-school stuff you can think of- white stick figures on black background, Atari-style bleeps and bloops, that kind of thing. And if you just blaze through the game, that's how it'll stay. However, the game contains a lot of sidequests, the completion of which gives the game its name. Every sidequest you complete allows you to upgrade one asthetic- the background, character model, sounds, music, replace text boxes with voice acting, etc. By the time you get to 100% completion, the game should be absolutely gorgeous. And then afterwards, you can go back and start the game again with all the unlocked upgrades. Or not, because I'm tacking on sliders for these things to move around at your leisure. So if you WANT a Vib Ribbon stick figure shooting 8-bit enemies to the sounds of Halo 3, be my guest.
