The Moor

(if: visits is 1)[ You wake up in a room. Your back is sore, probably from the [[soaked mattress|Mattress]] that you are lying on. The only illumination is coming from the sunlight seeping through the cracks in the thin layer of drywall that seems to be hastily applied. The air is dry, and it makes your throat fairly itchy. You reach into your pocket to find [[a compass|Compass]]. You try to remember, but you can't. ] (else:)[ There is a [[soaked mattress|Mattress]] in the center of the room. (if: $inventory contains "Rope" is false)[There is a [[rope hanging from a nail|Rope]] to the South.] ] [[There's a door to the West.|The Moor]]

The mattress has definitely been here for quite some time. There are brown strains covering the entire mattress, most likely from water. The center of the mattress [[sinks|Mattress Sink]] in a bit. [[*Maybe I should check somewhere else.*|The Cabin]]

The mattress sinks in a bit in the center. Maybe there's something underneath? [[*Maybe I could try lifting the mattress?*->Mattress Lift]] (if:$inventory contains "Machete")[*Maybe I could [[cut the mattress?->Mattress Cut]]*]

You step outside to find yourself in the middle of a moor. The smell of sludge fills your lungs, making you gag. There's nothing but wasteland for miles. It's probably not a good idea to go much further. (if: $inventory contains "Burlap Sack")[] (else:)[There's a [[Burlap Sack]] lying on the ground nearby.] (if: $inventory contains "Machete")[] (else:)[There's a [[Machete]] that is partially lodged into the ground.] To the West of you sits [[The Cabin]] To the North of you is [[a path.|The Path]]

You pick up the machete. It's surprisingly well built, and a fair bit heavier than you were expecting. There are small gaps in the blade where parts of the metal has chipped. (set: $inventory += (a:"Machete")) [[You walk back to the front of the cabin->The Moor]]

(set: $inventory = $inventory + (a:"Burlap Sack")) You open the Burlap Sack. It's very spacious inside. [[You walk back to the front of the cabin->The Moor]]

{ (set: $inventory to (array:"Compass")) (set: $sanity to 60) (set: $waterlogged to false) }

The soaked mattress is not easy to cut through. With every cut, water seeps through, getting your jeans wet. [[Cut some more.|Mattress Hole]]

You manage to lift the mattress a few inches before dropping it. A loud *THUD* reverberates throughout the room. (if: $inventory contains "Coin" is false)[You notice [[a coin|Coin]] that must have been pushed by the updraft.] (set: $sanity to $sanity + 10) [[*Maybe I should check somewhere else.*|The Cabin]]

(set:$inventory to $inventory + (a:"Rope")) A sturdy rope that looks unused. You think it might come in handy, so you take it. [[You turn around->The Cabin]]

(if: visits is 1)[You jump down the hole, but your feet don't hit the ground immediately. The air around you gets louder as you fall faster with every passing second. Suddenly, your body feels wet. Water fills your lungs, and you can't speak. Your head is starting to hurt.] As the water tosses and turns, your mind loses all sense of direction. You don't know which way is up, so you [[let the water carry you to the surface.|The Midpoint of the Depths]] (if:$waterlogged is false)[[Try to take a breath.|Breathing Underwater]]

You take a breath, but you can't. Your lungs fall cold and the taste of saline sticks to your tongue. (set:$waterlogged to true) [[...->The Depths]]

(if: visits is 1)[You close your eyes and let the water carry you. You feel your body lighten as you drift upwards. (set: $visited_left to false)] You come across three caverns. There's a strong sound coming from the cavern in the center. (if: $visited_left is false)[[[Explore the Cavern on the Left -> Cavern on the Left]]] [[Explore the Cavern on the Center -> Cavern on the Center]] [[Explore the Cavern on the Right -> Cavern on the Right]]

You walk into a small cavern. There are stalagmites lining the entire area. (if: $inventory contains "Rope")[[[You think about using the rope to levy your way across.|Crevice Tightrope]]] (else:)[There's no way you are going to cross this.] [[...|The Midpoint of the Depths]]

You stand in a small cavern. You can hear a strange sound coming from up ahead. You can [[squeeze through|The Chamber]], but you don't think you can come back once you do. [[...|The Midpoint of the Depths]]

A faint light from above reveals what little there is. There's nothing here but rock. [[...->The Midpoint of the Depths]]

The path ends here. This is probably the last time you'll be able to head back. [[*I'm turning back, there's nothing for me out here*|The Cabin]] [[*I should just keep going.*|Abosultely Lost]]

You venture forward. The sun has started to set, leaving the grass around you a shade of orange. You hope that eventually, you'll reach a someone. You look back, and you can't see anything behind you but grass for miles and miles. There's a cave in the distance. [[*Maybe you could rest there for the night?*|The Cave]] [[Keep going forward.|Lost Forever]]

The only markings on the surface are the letters N, S, E and W. Might not be too accurate, but it'll get the job done. *Might come in handy, and it's not too much of a hassle to [[hold on to->The Cabin]].*

You start to walk down the path. You feel like you've walked a mile or two. The path is starting to get obscured by overgrowth. You turn around and notice that the Cabin is barely visible in the distance. [[*It's probably not too late to turn back. I don't think this road is leading anywhere*->The Moor]] [[*There's definitely nothing left for me back at the Cabin. I need to keep going*->Almost Lost]]

You cut through to the other side. You reach your arm through the hole, but you can't feel anything. The water falling from the mattress resonates as it hits something that's underneath the hole. [[Cut some more.|The Hole Mattress]]

You cut a hole large enough to squeeze through. An indescribeable smell fills your throat with every breath. You can hear a guttural sound coming from whatever lies down there. [[Enter the hole.|The Depths]] [[*Maybe I should check somewhere else.*|The Cabin]]

You enter the cave just as night falls. You notice a set of [[large radio equipment|Radio Equipment]] lying on the floor. [[*I should get some rest*|Sleeping]]

(if: visits is 5)[You take another step forward, hoping it will lead somewhere. You know it won't lead anywhere since you haven't made progress thus far, but you can't stop yourself from taking each step. END.] (else:)[[[You keep moving further->Lost Forever]]]

Some radio equipment, most of which you don't even recognize. There's a [[radio emitter->Radio Emitter]] and a pair of headphones, but it looks like they hasn't been used in years. [[Return to the cave|The Cave]]

In your sleep you have a dream of yourself waking up in a swamp. A massive hole surrounds where you stand. (link:"Jump in. It's the only option.")[You jump down and feel your weight disappear as you keep [[falling|The Depths]]]. (set: $sanity to $sanity - 10)

You meet a small creature with a smile that covers most of it's face. It looks up at you and opens its mouth. (if: $waterlogged is true)[[[Continue|The Questionnaire]]] (else:)[[[Continue|The False Questionnaire]]]

(text-style:"blur")[*What is your name?*] (input-box:2bind $name,"X==") (t8n-time:1.2s)+(link-reveal:"Answer Back")[ (text-style:"blur")[ *Very good. It's a pleasure to have you in my company, $name.* *What Is Your Favorite Color?* ] (input-box:2bind $color, "X==") (t8n-time:1.2s)+(link-reveal:"Answer Back")[ (text-style:"blur")[ *Very Good* ] Just like that you vision [[goes black.|Judgement]] ]]

(if: $sanity is 100)[[[The darkness starts to brighten and you feel your body get lighter.|Escape]]] (else-if: $sanity is > 50)[You hear a cackling, but it gets softer by the second.[[Your vision starts to grow white.|Escape?]]] (else:)[[[You feel your body start to go limp.|Enter the Void]]]

You wake up, your back is still sore. It's the same cabin as before, but there's nothing here. You open the door and leave, only to find yourself inside what looks like a garden. You look up, only to be greeted by harsh sunlight. The warm feeling envlops your body, and you feel nothing but happiness. END.

You wake up, your back is still sore. It's the same cabin as before, but there's nothing here. You open the door and leave, continuing down the path. You keep walking North. *Eventually I'll reach something.* END.

(set: _fall to 1) You wake up, only to be greeted by blackness. A soft hum is barely audible, but definitely present. (link-repeat:"You try to move.")[ But you can't. (link-repeat:"*This is the end.*")[(if: _fall > 10)[ END.]] (set: _fall to _fall + 1)]

You tie the rope around your waist and one of the stalagmites. You peek over the edge to make sure everything is good before you start. You can feel your forehead start to get wet from sweat. The sound of water drops breaks the silence around you. You take a step forward. Your heat starts to beat faster. (after:1s)[You take another step. You can feel your heart pushing itself out of your body.] (after:2s)[You take another step. You don't want to [[look down->A Glimpse of Death]], but your eyes start to drift downwards] (after:10s)[You are only a step from the [[other side->The Pool]]]

A soft coin that looks like nothing you've ever seen before. There is a strange character on the center of the coin that you can't recognize. (set: $inventory to $inventory + (a: "Coin")) [[Look somewhere else at the cabin|The Cabin]]

(set: $sanity to $sanity - 10) (text-style:"blur")[*Wt'x ftrh-na?*] (input-box:2bind $name,"X==") (t8n-time:1.2s)+(link-reveal:"Answer Back")[ (text-style:"blur")[ *Cl'xstha sz'a $name.* *Wt'x lz fu'm?* ] (input-box:2bind $color, "X==") (t8n-time:1.2s)+(link-reveal:"Answer Back")[ (text-style:"blur")[ *Cl'xstha* ] Just like that you vision [[goes black.|Judgement]] ]]

You put on the headphones, and flip the power switch. To your surprise, it works perfectly. You begin to tune it slowly. (after:1s)[Nothing but static.] (after:2s)[A deep voice can be faintly heard. The static is too strong for you to catch anything. (set: $sanity to $sanity + 10)] [[I don't think I'll get anything from this->The Cave]]

(set: _fall to 1) You look down. Definitely not your brightest decision. Nothing but blackness below you. Nothing. The longer you stare, the more you want to keep staring. Anything to stop you from taking another step. The longer you stand, the more your body starts to shake. A cold wind emanates from below, making you shiver. You blink. Except when you open your eyes again, there's nothing anymore. Your body isn't shaking, you aren't cold. There's no feeling. Did you fall? Too bad you'll probably never find out. (link-repeat:"You just keep falling")[ There' nothing you can do. (link-repeat:"This is the end.")[(if: _fall > 10)[ END.]] (set: _fall to _fall + 1)]

There's a statue of what looks to be a fish. There's a pool of water in which the statue sits. Just looking at it makes you feel at ease. (set: $sanity to $sanity + 10) (if: $inventory contains "Coin")[You throw the coin into the water. Strangely you don't hear the coin hit the water.(set: $sanity to $sanity + 10)] (set: $visited_left to true) [[...->The Midpoint of the Depths]]
