[As soon as you enter the game, you find yourself in a vast, seemingly endless forest. The wind blows cold and harsh, whistling through the trees, and you can barely see what’s in front of you. The only light in the area comes from the moon shining down upon you, mostly blocked by the thick branches twisting together overhead. In the distance, it's almost as if you can see and here flashes of movement, moments of sound (a wolf howling, the sound of crying, or even that of screams). Try as you might, you can't tell where any of these sounds come from... Perhaps it would be best to explore and find out. Stranger yet, you feel as if you must explore...

From here, you can go either left or right. The two paths are indistinguishable from each other.]

[evervigilante]

And I just got that sword too.

[showyouthesight]

You actually use them in games less than you'd expect.

[zeroics]

This isn't a movie.

[evervigilante]

The hell is a movie anyway?

[showyouthesight]

We're the stars.

CORN MAZE

[soulping]

[After walking for a while, the trees become more sparse, until they disappear. All the while, it's as if you can feel somebody watching you...

You come to a corn field. The plants rise up high, past your head. Luckily, you can see an entrance not too far from where you stand. There isn’t a sound to be heard except the sounds of cicadas somewhere in the distance.

Do you enter? Strangely, you strongly feel as though you should.]

Re: CORN MAZE

[evervigilante]

If this is what a "movie" is like, I'm glad I'm ignorant.

Re: CORN MAZE

[zeroics]

I don't actually remember any movies, so I don't know.

Re: CORN MAZE

[showyouthesight]

Don't like corn?

Re: CORN MAZE

[zeroics]

Uhhh...

[is there actual corn. can he grab a cob?]

Re: CORN MAZE

[soulping]

[There is actual corn and he can grab it, yes.]

Re: CORN MAZE

[showyouthesight]

A corn field? Seriously?

HIGHWAY

[soulping]

[Somehow, you've traveled from the main path. This brings you to a vast stretch of highway... But all the cars on this road are stopped. Some even look damaged or dismantled by something.

Between the cars, you can see people moving... Or are they people? They seem to move awfully slowly, and their posture is simply atrocious.

Will you stay to search, or will you leave?]

Re: HIGHWAY

[zeroics]

[this looks like some kind of mass traffic accident. yelling towards one of the shuffling people.]

--hey! Are you hurt?

Re: HIGHWAY

[evervigilante]

[ breaking some of the windows with the scythe and checking out the cars ]

See what you can find. Make it quick though.

HOSPITAL ENTRANCE

[soulping]

[Soon, you come to a large building. There isn’t much to be found on the outskirts of the place, but there's a nearly overwhelming urge to enter the space.

Should you follow that urge to come in, you’ll find what once might have been a lobby of some kind. A layer of dust covers a plain tile floor, and there’s a receptionist’s desk near the entrance - of course, there’s nobody to be found behind it any longer.

What’s more notable than the look of the place, however, is the sound. As soon as you enter, a speaker high above crackles to life, and a feminine voice begins speaking.]

The doctor will see you now.

[The voice comes to a halt with a long, chilling scream, interrupted by an unhinged laugh - and then the sounds stop altogether, fading to an eerie silence.

There are two doors, one to the left and one to the right.]

Re: HOSPITAL ENTRANCE

[showyouthesight]

... let's not go toward the screaming.

Re: HOSPITAL ENTRANCE

[zeroics]

What--

[THAT WAS UPSETTING]

Re: HOSPITAL ENTRANCE

[evervigilante]

[ he grits his teeth and checks out the desk ]

LEFT HALLWAY

[soulping]

[You enter the hallway. It's even filthier than the lobby. The windows are broken and poorly boarded up. Above the doorway, the words "PSYCH WARD" are written in what looks to be blood. Through the door, you can hear screams and sobs; it sounds like a great number or people are crying out for help.

Will you go to them, or will you look around beforehand?]

Re: LEFT HALLWAY

[showyouthesight]

This screams setup...

[Though he does keep his body turned toward those screams]

Re: LEFT HALLWAY

[zeroics]

[HE'S... going straight for the door yeah.]

RIGHT HALLWAY

[soulping]

[You enter the hallway to the right. The interior is streaked with blood, and the air smells of it... Reeks of it, really. The scent of blood and decaying flesh is overwhelming. The door at the end of the hall hangs ajar, but it's too dark to see what lies inside the room. If you listen carefully, you can hear voices speaking inside. The word "SURGERY" is scrawled in blood above the door.

Will you enter, or will you explore the hallway?]

Re: RIGHT HALLWAY

[showyouthesight]

More experimenting?
