The first thing you notice is a light.

You try not to open your eyes. You're far too tired to wake up, and you just wish you could go back to sleep for a few more hours. However, a recorded alarm begins blaring before you can drift back to sleep, causing you to open your eyes.

The light floods in all at once. It is now that you very quickly realize something.

Your insides hurt.

You only have a few seconds to react before you spill out of the pod device you are in and vomit on the ground next to it. You stay in this position for several minutes, slowly trying to get yourself up, only compelled by the bleating alarm that woke you.

Slowly, you rise up from the ground and examine your surroundings.

You are in the BOTTOM RIGHT of a room. BEHIND you, there is a rack of three pod devices, including yours. To your RIGHT, there is a couple of sinks, and a bright yellow poster that you can't make out at the moment. To your LEFT, you spy an easier to read black-on-yellow poster, indicating the position of the alarm off switch being below the sign. You gratefully push the button indicated by the sign, and turn off the alarm. In FRONT of you, there is a small doorway, with a NO-LOCK door.

You take a moment to gather your thoughts, and realize that you have no idea where you are, and what you are doing inside this room.

You can't even remember your name.

What is your name?

As the title suggests, this game will take a few pointers from amnesia, and any players of A:DS will recognize several tropes in this story.

[Johnfalcon99977]

All you can really think of is Leon. Your not sure if this is actually your name, but you guess you should just run with it. You guess you should splash some water from the sink into your face to help you wake up.

[Svarte Troner]

Be on the lookout for lantern fuel and tinderboxes.

Your name is Daniel.

[Grek]

You're definitely a Daniel.

[Caerwyn]

No, no! Your name is Hiyinanatohu Hunoyatoniyo.

[LordBucket]

No, we can't remember our name. No sense making one up. If anyone asks we give them a very long uncomfortable stare and stutter a lot.

[ggamer]

You stare into space for a few moments, trying to remember. Maybe it was... Leon? Or maybe it was something more japanese, like... Hiyi... hiyinahaha... Or maybe you should just not use your name at all, and wait until you can find something of yours to go off of...

You think you'll go with that. Until you can find your name, however, you decide to refer to yourself as Daniel.

You decide to wash your face off with some cold water at the sink. Unfortunately, the cold water does not react well with you, and you vomit again, this time in the sink. You continue to wash your face off, this time with warmer water.

Your headache is still very much present, but you feel a little better. Also, your vision is clearer, so you are able to read the sign.

There is further writing underneath this sign, but it is in a language you do not recognize.

[Trapezohedron]

Attempt to recognize unrecognizable language.

[Johnfalcon99977]

You're definitely a Daniel.

Be on the lookout for lantern fuel and tinderboxes.

Your name is Daniel.

Boorrrriinnnngg. Why use the name the orginal Amnesia gave you

[ggamer]

You look below the yellow sign. The letters are strange, but they are familiar. You feel like you've seen them before...

Spoiler: Flashbacklog (click to show/hide)

Daniel: How does your people read it? It's all... straight. And...
?: Roman?
Daniel: No, not the word I was thinking of. Who are the Romans?
?: A very ancient civilization. Created the base for this alphabet.
Daniel: Shittiest alphabet ever, brother.
?: Only 26 letters! That is how many letters there are. Besides, I don't even know how many your language has.
Daniel: Written language? Or spoken?
?: See? Having two sets of alphabet is so confusing!
Daniel: And yours isn't? So many grammatical exceptions. And it isn't even sacred!
?: Again with the sacred language brother? You are all on about that...
Daniel: Your language is a melting pot! constantly changing and absorbing other languages...
?: That's good! English is a good language!
Daniel: Aye, it is good, but not pure.
?: Pure?
Daniel: Our language never changed. It has stayed the same since the Great meeting...
?: Oh, again with all that. You are a scientist!
Daniel: And because I am I have to be atheist?
?: NOBODY EVEN KNOWS WHAT YOUR RELIGION IS.
Daniel: But your people has several similar...
?: No. We're not having this conversation again. It is confusing and weird.
Daniel: Whatever pleases you, brother.

That... was sudden. You suppose that your memory is going to return in tidbits like this.

Anyway, you know the language now. English. The language is English. You must have had to learn it sometime in your past.

A green strip of light further illuminates the RIGHT wall. it heads into the TOP RIGHT CORNER, leading LEFT out of the doorway.

[Trapezohedron]

Peer into the source of the green light.

[LordBucket]

Inspect the other two pods to see if there's anyone or anything else we can release.

[ggamer]

You peer into the thin strip of green light. You can see that it is actually two, very close strips of light.

=========

You look at the two other pods. One appears to be used as... cold storage? It looks like there is... Ice cream in there?
This surely must be breaking regulation.
The other pod is empty, though according to the screen on the side it has been opened in the past week.

[exolyx]

PTW

[lopocozo]

Bring out the ice cream, the breaking of regulation surely cannot be tolerated.
