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  • Epilogue has been replaced by the end.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 dont, well... best write a will.

Why not both? We could do discussions, then all do a poll at the end.

Should I wait for an official poll or something to start guessing, or could I go ahead and start now?

(Edit: Guessing as in saying/posting who I think everyone is)

Almost forgot to do this, lol

Do it! It would be fun to watch

Same. I somehow make it work anyways, lol

Murder Hobo? Best way to deal with them is to make a really good NPC target for them that is actually a dragon in disguise.

Sure. If you give me a brief overview of what you want, and if I have the time this week, I can churn out a decent outline for you to follow. Feel free to ask me for something else as well

I'd be happy to help you if you need some ideas. I have way too many of them and not enough motivation, lol.

Welcome to CYS! I, too, suffer from having way too many projects. (Heck, I even have an old, abandoned thread filled with a few of them.) I hope you enjoy your stay here!

Speaking of school, I should probably get off, lol. I will return later, though!
