You wake up (adventure)
« on: October 25, 2009, 01:59:56 pm »
/* Recently I have played a really interesting game, made me thinking. It appeared as a good idea to try to explore topic of that game by creating an adventure. It is not going to be a funny random-fest, but hopefully it will be interesting. The story is prepared, but the start may be a little slow because I will spoil nothing about it, I want you guys to find out everything yourselves. */


Chapter 0: Prelude

You wake up. Everything you can concentrate on is the following:

∙∙∙  ∘∘∘     ∙∙∙∘∘∘

∙∘∙  ∘∙∘     ∙∘∙∘∙∘

∙∘∘  ∘∘∙

a) ∙∙∙∙∙∙
b) ∙∘∙∘∘∙
c) ∙∘∘∘∘∙

C is the logical continuation of the pattern.

Correct. You gain a reward.

Short series of another simillar questions are given to you. Completely abstract at first, then series of words in unknown language. After a while you start to find out patterns and grammar rules in that language. You have to find exits from small labyrinths and solve puzzles.

Rarely you know rules for that puzzles and must guess. Every time you answer wrong you feel like you were dying and next thing you can remember is waking up few minutes later and getting another question. Everytime you answer correctly, you are awarded. Hours are passing.

Th 03:12

You wake up. Something is different this time. You are pretty sure that your last answer was correct. Also you do not remember being punished. No question this time.

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

You can find only two of them. Although there certainly were much more rewards you are not sure if you ever actually owned more than these two. Surely these were the last gifts you gained.

The first one is a note. It is heavilly damaged and you can read only a few words: "funding", "2027" and "Loki".

The second is a folder with a set of images. On all of them is the same almost naked woman with a hat. All but one are heavily altered.

I take that as explore, ok?

You are in relatively small space. You are looking at your rewards. Nearby is a device that gave you questions and another one for your answers. There also is a pile of notes you scribbled when solving puzzles. The last thing you have access to is a terminal you think you never used.
