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  • Epilogue has been replaced by the end.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.

The gods have returned, and with them, chaos. Humanity has slowly rebuilt over the ages, creating a utopia free from evil. No tools of war have been made for decades, and people have forgotten pain. But beneath all of this lies the ugly truth of how it was made, and who was sacrificed. You have toiled for your entire life in the Granazia, providing the necessary energy for those privileged enough to live above in Ouranos, and now the opportunity to rebel has revealed itself. Seize the chance you have been given, and make a place for yourself in the new world.

Uhhhh, I really don't know anyone except Enter who has this opinion, so I'm going to take another shot in the dark and say that it's MHD

I think there's an extension someone made that does that; I could be wrong, though.

Damn it, you've already preempted everything I was going to say! You know this site too well...

With that said, it's a decent story; However, it does seem to ramble a lot without any real main point. Unless that's the goal for this story, I suggest looking over everything again and deciding what your "point" is. It doesn't even have to be anything other than to have a funny punch line, or to make people think, but there needs to be a goal.

Hold on, that gives me an idea for the daily quote...

Anyways. As I said before, it's a decent story; It does have some good worldbuilding that makes me intrigued as to what all happened in the past, but it also seems to go from one story to another without any real connections or goals.

Oh, and one last thing:

Lol, fag.

1. Welcome to the site, Manu! Quick piece of advice: I'm not certain if this is the case, but don't share your real name online unless absolutely necessary. Putting that aside, I hope you enjoy your stay here!
2. As previously said, there sadly isn't a way to read the stories offline. If you really want to read a story offline, your best bet is probably to find a good linear storygame and just take screenshots of a path you particularly enjoyed, then read it all over again when you are on holiday. (Or just buy a physical CYOA book, lol.)

I will probably regret this in the future, but I'd love to join this if possible!

Just looked at his profile, and he has somewhere around 7k points, lol. Almost 4x as much as the hint! Glad I didn't go with him as my answer

wait what, really?

Tbh, I didn't expect it to be him; I was just shooting in the dark, lol

No clue, lol. Hence me changing my guess to Liminal

I'll go with Malk this time

No, strike that, I'm guessing Liminal
