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  • Epilogue has been replaced by the end.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.

Most likely, yes; However, keep in mind that this is only their third post, they've only existed for two days, and they're already entered into two major things.

...Bro necroing is one thing, ok in some cases, but seriously dude, that's what you had to say?

Lol, that's poetic. Only thing that throws it all off is the "Yep" at the beginning.

2. Damn, this is a busy noob. Good luck with everything, hope you succeed, and please don't do anything dumb; You're showing promise.

I'm reading through it right now, and despite not being far through, it's already better than some of the stories I've seen for previous contests. Good job.

Anthraxus?

Technically: Yes and no.

Lightning and thunder are kinda both the same thing, but also different. You do have a point, and I agree with you, but I'm just posting what people say
