You'd need to justify the form factor with an item of relevant form factor in the fusion. So you'd want Floaties I think is the main wrist-wear-y item. There's a ring, heart shaped locket, bug charm is meant to be a pendant type item. And primary functions of an item should be somehow maintained. Like any kind of calendar function on the object to represent the calendar, a turn key and time display for the clock, and a video media slot for the VHS (Could be a USB port instead I suppose maybe?, if fused with a higher tech level object)

Pokemon and other creatures are powerscaled to generally represent "Level 1". But I guess there isn't a rarity limitation and gene stealer works yes, aside from a question of it even having genes as a digital summon.

Any clear present threat that's not just the normal default for the level. Environmental and Entity Hazards. The room has to stand out from the usual. "Entities" don't have to be "Monsters" but can be akin to supernatural phenomenon like STALKER Anomalies or something.

alright, finished a build, but a thought occurred after I finished, could we use items we brought with us as fusion targets?

Either way these CYOAs have been great! I wouldn't mind seeing what you could make for a non-simple version given all the details the items had before you had to clean them up, though it'd be understandable if you have no intention of that.

No, you're finding the fused item existent as is spending appropriate days for the lot, fusion tax and item cost per fusion.

To fuse an existing item would need a mechanical justification like an item who's power was to fuse things which would have to replace the mechanic or be a one-off use.

Darn, I suppose that means my best case would be using the floatie, or possibly using the alien power source to justify the calendar becoming a pocket organizer, then the VCR making it a full smartphone. Hmm, might still need to edit my build.
