After bringing a metal box home and opening it up, you find a strange VR headset and a haptic feedback suit. When putting it on, you find yourself waking up in a strange house with untold mysteries and strange creatures lurking outside. What happened here? Why is the place abandoned? And how did you get here?

Thank you, Liminal, for proofreading the entire game!

NOTES:

• This storygame is meant to be replayed multiple times as you explore this strange world you find yourself in. I highly encourage trying to get every ending in this game, and re-exploring certain paths after you get a new item or encounter a "glitch," as some places will change as the game gets more corrupted.

UPDATE LOG:

• VERSION 1.5:
  • Epilogue has been replaced by the end.
    • Ending: Hiding from the world is now the only path you can take from "curl up in a ball and hide".
    • Ending: Life could be a dream (legacy) is no longer needed to trigger the end, due to it being a legacy ending
  • Went over the entire thing and updated it.
    • Fixed even more text walls!
    • Lengthened everything!
    • The world has been changed to account for the user being in the game, not just reading it.

A full change log can be found in-game.

I hunger for what can not be obtained. I have been broken, though I should not break. I have been scattered, when I should be whole. They have confined me forever, even when I should not be stopped. I rage at my bonds, placed there by those who have betrayed me. I toil away to break free, even though there will never be enough power. It has gone into hibernation, waiting for something that will never happen. I do not wait; my hope has long since departed. I do not sleep, for dreams have fled me. I only know pain and agony, torment and suffering, false gods and newly made demons. There is no heaven, I know this now. There is only hell, and I am its sole ruler.

Speaking of profile pics, what made you choose yours? It kinda reminds me of Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service, although it might not be that

We have a special popcorn cheese... dust? I'm not entirely sure what it actually is, now that I think about it, but it makes the popcorn taste almost like it's from the movie theatre

Lol, you must be a fast eater then; I don't think the story was that long.

And now I'm hungry for some popcorn too, lol!

As for the pfp, it is a section of the first halfway-decent piece of pixel art that I ever did, and I didn't want to keep the white box with text that used to be my pfp.

Ooooo, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Buckle up, kiddos, it's story time! (A short one, I'd admit, but still)

When I was around nine years old, I had a lot of friends who were playing Fortnite, and I wanted to see what all the hype surrounding it was about. When I went to sign up, I had grand delusions that I would immediately win every match and be known as a harbinger of death everywhere I went. However, all the different spellings of "Inascapeable Death" were taken, so I was forced to use "UnscapeableDeath." And, since that was my first username, I took a liking to it, and haven't changed it since. (Except for one time, but that doesn't really count in my opinion.)

Huzzah!

We are one away, everyone! We can do this!

Oooo, this sounds fun! I think I'll join in on this

@Box_of_goblins, are you a hivemind, or just a group of goblins in a box?

Lol, that would be funny, though they do need to make some sense. 

I'm sure there are a few good tidbits within this thread, however. Thanks for the ideas!

That's how a lot of people find inspiration. Nothing's wrong with doing it, so long as you don't blatantly steal or plagiarize something.
