Corruption
« on: October 11, 2015, 01:29:16 pm »

You exist.

Existence is a foreign concept. Before, you knew nothing, sensed nothing. Your "body," such as it can be called, was here before. But you were not. Existence does not mean importance, or even contentment. Your mind is little more than an animal's, driven by nothing other instinct. For the time being. You know, in your own way, that you will be more. Much more.

But that, of course, is neither here nor there. You are driven by your instincts, and now, your instincts give you a single, burning desire. Not a desire. A need.

You need to consume, to spread. To take the world, such that it is, and bring it into yourself.

That is easier said than done. You are, at the moment, nothing more than a structured lump of crystalline matter. But you will grow, of course. You grow even as you become aware. But to keep growing, to conquer everything you know is outside yourself, you will need one thing:

Food

I didn't really understand why I died until I discovered I was teleporting my own spine into my enemies' body as a primary way of attack.

Well, judging by the intro-lines, we have enough mind to even notice our own existence, though much of it seems dominated by the need for nourishment.

As such, I actually would propose that we stretch ourself out in a thin film, wait for any positive responses (food), and then send more of our will towards that direction. But overall? +1

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.

Spoiler: Suggestions (click to show/hide)

You use what energy you have to push your mass outwards, enveloping whatever unlucky creatures might be near. Your total lack of sensory organs doesn't make it easy to determine the results, but a sudden flow of vitality confirms that your "hunt" turned out rather well.

You are still hungry, of course. Hunger gnaws at your very soul. But it lessens. Just a little. Enough for you to think.

You push the new vitality into yourself, a little mournfully. You will hunger afterwards, you know. But feeling is necessary. It will help you to spread, to consume, maybe, someday, to cover the very world.

In little more than a moment, you can feel. You can tell it is not a perfect sense, that there is much room for improvement. But, imperfect as your senses are, they allow you to observe your surroundings.

You appear to be in a forest, dense with all kinds of vegetation. On the edges of your perception, you can feel the vibrations of bushes and shrubs, and the twitches of animals within them. Trees tower over the scene, groaning and creaking in the wind.

A particularly large pang of hunger tears you away. There will be time to observe your surroundings later. For now, it might be best to secure a steady supply of food.

Go and attempt to consume the easiest bit of vegetation, fauna, or what have you
