you see your house from here
what do you see?
> i see a house
> wait for it to leave
you make it out alive. you are now alone> walk home on your own
> talk to the person standing beside you
oh god dammit! it is looking back at you. it smiles and opens its mouth. you are given a knife.
> use it
are you ready to behave yourself this time?
> yes, wake up
> close your eyes and reach out
you don't look to be doing so good> ask him to stay
hello? you came back right? i was beginning to think i had lost you for good this time. lets go home.
> kill him
> continue
ok
is it trying to hurt you again?> no
> im trying not to give it what it wants
do you remember this conversation?
kind of. and vaguely. i don't recognize this place though.
i don't either. but i think it's safer here.
how? i can barely stay awake and i don't want to fall asleep again.
but it can't hurt you or control you here. at least not as much. it's... real out here.
i don't want to be real. that hurts more than anything it could do to me. i like it back there.
but its a dream down there. none of it makes sense and it was made to hurt you.
it was made to save me. to save us. the mirrors down there, they don't distort my face like these.
please just come with me and
> go home
do you remember this conversation?
kind of. though i don't think i've been here before.
i've been around here. it's safer, in a way.
safer in... the worst way.
in a real way.
i don't think i want to be real.
it's better than what's down there, right?
i wouldn't say better. just safer. nothing else.
at least we're here together?
yeah.> go home
[](#youdied)
you died!> try again?
there is a sort of peacefulness to the abyss. a routine in my attempts to escape, and a sense of closure when i let go of the edge i had been holding onto for so long. a relief on my hurting hands. i can close my eyes one final time, and let the dreams i fall in consume me.> leave the abyss
i do not want to die, i do not want to disappear, i do not want to cease to exist, i do not want to let myself fall into the never ending abyss that lurks in the corners of this world
i guess i hoped things might've turned out differently if i tried this. that if i made it into a game it would all make sense. i think it really backfired because
i don't know what's a lie or not anymore.
