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  • Epilogue has been replaced by the end.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.

None taken.

I am a high schooler with Autism, which is probably why my social skills & sense of social norms are practically non-existent, and why curiosity has (metaphorically speaking) killed this cat before. I've used up almost all of my luck by now (yet somehow there is still an obscene amount), and I probably only have 2-3 lives left by now, lol.

He (and maybe you) underestimated three key things:

1. (maybe) My age
2. The shit I've seen
3. How much me wanting to know something intensifies whenever someone tells me "no" without even a half-baked reason as to why.

TL;DR: Chris died to a bear, and his soul is now in a computer.

Edit: Wrong name; I'm getting posts mixed up, lol

Some articles I found on it after a quick search:

• bbc article
• guardian article
• new york times

TL;DR:

One of the astronauts aboard the ISS has developed an unspecified medical condition that was serious enough to warrant their returning to earth for treatment, and this is the first time it has happened ever, so it's gaining a lot of attention.

The ISS is apparently having a medical evacuation for the first time. I'm trying to find more sources right now, and will update soon.

Huh. And here I thought you would have something better than a typewriter.

Just going to chalk all of this up to Socialism/Communism/Democracy/whatever this site is about. (I really don't know much about forms of government, lol.) Boo Sent, yay nice admins, points are ultimately meaningless, we are all fighting over numbers, and all that jazz. I'm leaving this dispute for a little bit; Let's hope this doesn't end in the site crashing and burning to the ground.

Damn it, fine.
