Greetings, tropers. We have chosen you to assist us in an experiment. Somewhere, a man is waking up in a place he is unfamiliar with. Your job is to help him survive at all costs. In order to do that, you must insert commands and he will follow them. He is counting on you.


If you're confused, basically this is a game in the style of Ruby Quest, only in first person. You suggest actions and I will show the consequences of said actions. Have fun!
Hello? Is anyone there? I need help. I don't know where I am and I'm scared! Help!

PLEASE INSERT COMMAND

>Jump up and down.

A-are you sure?... Okay.

*jump jump jump*

Alright, I did it. As expected, it didn't really accomplish anything.

I'm really not seeing the point of these, but...

*punch*

Again, not seeing what this is supposed to do.

This is basically Lifeline, right?

Not exactly sure what Lifeline is, but it's possible. It's comparable to TV Tropes's own Sticks, Stones and Things Unknown.

>Shout "LET! MEEEEEEEEEEEEE! OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"

No offense, but I don't think I should do that.


>Find something sharp, like a stone or piece of metal.

I can't seem to find anything.

Find a mirror or other reflective surface, like a puddle of water or shiny floor.

The closest thing to me is the bed I woke up in.

*SLAM*

Now I know it was surprisingly hard. Ow.


>RUN AROUND IN CIRCLES.

Once again, nothing seemed to happen.


>Find a mirror or other reflective surface, like a puddle of water or shiny floor.

Lucky day! Apparently someone installed a mirror into my cell! I... oh no...

I have no face.

Find a pen or other impromptu writing implement and draw a face on your face.

Yo dawg, I heard you like faces... *bricked*

Try to open any nearby doors/windows/ect.

Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.

There doesn't seem to be anything around, but I'll be sure to do that once I find one.


>Try to open any nearby doors/windows/etc.

Finally! Permission! There's a door that might lead outside the cell. Hold on, I'm gonna go outside of it.

Alright, I'm in a hallway with two things of note. There's a door on the other side and a painting on the wall of a clown. A very sad clown. Why is he so sad? He's a clown, for Christ's sake!

Contemplate your overwhelming internal desire to seek out permission for everything you do.

See if there is any object or annotation behind the clown's painting.

Try to break off the bottom of the picture frame. It's not much, but it can be used as an impromptu weapon.

Good thinking! Removing the painting reveals... A motherfucking dagger! I have a feeling this baby is going to come in handy!

Oh, don't worry! I don't think I need to do that!

Vandalize the clown's painting with the dagger just for the kicks.

... Okay. I cut some phallic imagery into it. Feels good!


>Check that other door.

Hooray for progress! Opening the door reveals a large room. Totally blank and white. Weird... Anyway, there are 3 things of note: Another door, a padlock on said door, and... oh jeez. A body. I can only guess it's a dog of some kind, but it's so mangled I can't tell for sure.

Try to improvise a necropsy at the corpse (see if the corpse is still warm and try to identify what killed it).

Well it's definitely cold, but I can't for the life of me figure out what killed it. It's kinda burned, but it's also covered in cuts and missing all four limbs.
