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  • Epilogue has been replaced by the end.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.

     Out of 2000 people, YOU have been chosen! yes you, user. if you can manage to beat the games, you win enough money to keep you rich for the rest of your life. but if you don't, well... best write a will.

Same; I listen to Harpy Hare a lot, lol. The Moss, by Cosmo Sheldrake, is also one of my favourite songs rn.

Duolingo is as well, lol. They're learning from each other

I forgot to do one yesterday, so I'll be doing two today

Yep

I'm not entirely sure of their gender preference myself, lol. They said that they usually use "Priestess" in their name, but also said that they think "Priest" sounds cooler, and they also say in their profile that their pfp is a boy (which admittedly doesn't indicate much tbf). I usually just stick to gender neutral for everyone until I am certain of their preference, as you can probably tell.

Well, I'm apparently 72 years old according to my music taste, lol. My top song was also Shop from Undertale, and I listened to a lot of orchestral remixes by Karu as well, so I'm not sure how it got that age

LMAO YEP

Cult of Carcinization?

And, since I'm already posting here: Welcome to the site! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

This, Maxxie, is a perfect example of how easily the three of us get sucked into conversations, lol

I get all my stuff done way too quickly and just hang out on here, lol. It's gotten to the point where people in math have started going to me for help instead of the teacher, lmao.
