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  • Epilogue has been replaced by the end.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.

All your memories are gone, and nothing makes sense.

NOTE: If you are reading through this at the last minute for the contest, it's a tad too late. I'm in the process of editing it right now, lol.

(Made for the first 24-hour Shrimp Jam in around three hours.)

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.

Sleep overtakes you, dragging you down, down, down...

For End Master's Prompt Contest 5:
50) A story where the old gods have returned! Objective: SURVIVE

Oh hey, I'm not at the bottom! Nice!

Lol, I'm currently on Death Song right now. It's a decent storygame, and I'm starting to realize that I don't like Gauntlet-style storygames.

Actually, on that note: Please don't request me to read any gauntlet-style storygames in the future. I'm trying to be as fair as I can with Death Song, but I'm noticing some bias still creeping in.

Oh yeah, I forgot this exists, lol

"Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth ban."

I should probably make a will or something...

Oooh, this sounds like a cool update! I can't wait to try it out!

Lol, no. I have too much fun staying alive to go out like that.

If I ever do die, it will be a spectacle.

Alright, I think I found a quote this site will enjoy.

(Apologies if this offends anyone)

"The strong women told the faggots that there are two important things to remember about the coming revolutions. The first is that we will get our asses kicked. The second is that we will win."

   - Larry Mitchell, The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions

Lol, that was quick

Yeah, I'm still waiting for the entire epstein files to be released. They are breaking the law and getting away with it (for the most part).

Fair point.

Plus, the FBI has given an update saying that they have very little information regarding the "threat."
