"Reality is nothing else than a flow of energy.
There are not such particles, matter or planets. Just energy. You are energy, your computer is energy, the air your breath is energy, everything is energy.
There is not what you call cats, houses or trees. There are only human minds in the universe.

But human minds have their own force of will. It's like the power of a human mind to shape and reflow the energy for his own purposes: those with stronger force of will can do whatever they want with the reality.

So far, humans think they live in the Earth planet, but the fact is that their minds are being nullified by those with the stronger force of will. They modeled an imaginary world to control the reality at their will, but occasionally, some of the trapped minds are able to access the reality, to gaze beyond the artificial world, they understand what it's beyond the veil of darkness, and they learn how to shape the energy.

Unluckily, they don't last longer. Those minds are persecuted and shattered by those stronger minds [...]"

-- From the Book of Will, Pag. 968. By an unknown author.

This is just a tiny extract from the new Bible. The title is "Book of Will". The author is unknown so far, but it reveals and proves so much that it is impossible to do not take it into account.

But, is this book telling us the truth, or it is just another novel written by a crazy man? And in case that it is true, how can we free the human kind from this dreadful tyranny? Why someone would like to create a imaginary world to control every human? Or even, what does the real universe looks like?

Not cosmic horror since the argument is not centered around the horror elements.

Basicaly, it is about the day-to-day life of the protagonist, who will have the chance investigate and discover about something that most people considers sci-fi, and tied to this sci-fi element there is associated a lot of mystery that the protagonist must solve if he wants to get deeper in the knowledge of the sci-fi element, but investigating and knowing more about that, can (and probably will) lead to horror and nightmare-ish situations.

This is basically the argument of the novel. Can you classify it?

Yes, it's the same social setting as the one where the player lives. Of course, with fictional characters, but they can be real anyway.

The sci-fi elements have nothing to be with technology or even with human evolution, but with human nature. In the real world (this is, outside the novel) there are people that trust in it, others don't, but nobody can demonstrate it's existence or non-existence. Like you can't demonstrate that God exists or not.

The protagonist/player has, initially, a very limited knowledge about this, but events happen in a way that he has a chance to investigate and follow clues to reach a deeper knowledge.

Also, there is a horror touch in what the protagonist can take decisions that will make him fear for his life, suffer nightmares, have dreadful visions...

 

Onibaba is my favorite one.

I set modern adventure, since it has also many elements from other genres.

Thanks.

But don't pay too much attention to that description, since I'm still trying to come with a good description that doesn't contain any spoiler.

Also, the description you read is far from being complete.

@Tanstaafl: I can't elaborate more about the sci-fi elements since they are unknown to the protagonist in the begining, and an important part of the mystery that the protagonist can investigate, and also tied to the horror elements So I can give specific details without spoiling the argument.

The only I can say is that the scifi elements are not related to technology like supercomputers, robots or spaceships. It's about the human nature.

Sorry I can't specify more.

I will set then Modern Adventure.

Thanks for your tip.

Hi there.

I have written some time ago a CYOA story, and I want to move it from MS Word to this webpage. But the problem I have is that i don't know which category should I use.

The story happens in the present, but there are some scifi elements that most people in the world doesn't know it's existence. That scifi elements are very limited. There is action, i.e. combat scenes. There is a lot of Slice of Life elements (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slice_of_life), but not like school life or family life, just the events that happen to the protagonist/s.

Also, there are some mystery elements, such as events that the reader doesn't know the reason, at first sight, so he can investigate why that happens.

It has also horror, but not horror just like horror or terror movies, more like a sense of danger or unavoidable fatal disaster, rather than an assassin following the protagonist.

 

Any idea? Thanks.
