Expect to die, a lot.
You are Jacob, Jacob is missing part of his brain stem, Jacob must manual do regular body functions to stay alive.
Let's not get into the science of it because I know it's all wrong on this end but let's get some laughs from watching Jacob fail at living.

Each turn you must state all your actions for that in game moment.
For example this would be a simple action.
Ex:
Take breath in
Blink eyes
Take a step forward
Pump heart

Ex of death:
Your head feels lighter and lighter and your lungs burn as though there is a fire in your chest, you fall to the floor dead. You have suffocated.


Going too many turns without doing a certain action will kill you. Don't worry though, We'll keep trying till Jacob has completed a whole day.
I may change something's through the game making it harder or easier such as adding new actions you must do in order to live or taking away actions like having to pump your heart to not die.


Interested?
You are in your bed.
It is dark in the room, you can't see anything, and warm under the blankets.
You do not feel tired anymore.
What do you do?
((Remember to state basic and complex actions
Ex basic: breath in
Ex complex: walking, talking))

Breath, pump and filter blood.
Push blanket off you toward the bottom of the bed.

You take a breath in (4/4)
Your heart pumps a bit (0:3)
You feel awake now.
You push the blankets down with your hands and legs.
The whole room is pitch black and you can't see anything.
You are wearing pajama bottoms and a button up pajama shirt.
You can hear a loud knocking at the door, your room mates voice cuts into the knocking,"Yo, Jake, it's time to get up man"
((I'll keep the numbers up for the first few game runs but once people figure out what they are I'll remove them. Just helps me keep track of things))

Continue breathing and pumping/filtering blood.
Call out: "It's dark and I'm scared."

((Do note that breathing in and out are seperate actions and if 'breath' is the only action given I will use a random number generator to decide if it's breath in or out))

You breath out (3/4) feeling your lungs decompress slightly re leaving preasure in your chest. Your blood continues to pump (0:3) and you are feeling more awake.
You call out and he responds,"You want me to hit the light bruh?"

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Blink
Breathe in
Pump blood around body using heart
Call out: Yes please!

You blink your eyes and your eyelids stay open now, you can see light from the doorway. Seems you had your eyes closed earlier.
Your heart pumps(0:3) and you feel fine. You breath in (4/4) and your lungs feel full.
You yell out to your friend and he responds,šK Dudeš. The door slowly opens and his arm reaches in and hits the light switch.
You are blinded for a moment and your eyes burn.
