You open your eyes. What you see is truly stunning. Not the kind that makes you filled with wonder, well maybe a little. It's the kind of stunning where you don't know what to say, because where you are, there is almost nothing. Nothing but the void. Except for the the walkway, or rather, shape that you're on. It seems as though what you're on is in the shape of impossible geometry, what you see shouldn't work, but it does. At least here. Moving forward leads you to another section of the shape that shouldn't be physically possible.
[[next]]
You come across a [[door]]. This place has many doors. God told you that for a person bound by the laws of nature to travel to other worlds, a place like this was necessary. A hub between worlds so that you could physically cross called a tesseract. You have no idea what is beyond each door, which makes this journey all the more challenging. But you have to start somewhere, you think to yourself. You could also try to [[find another door]], but because of the impossible geometry, you don't know when you'll get to the next one.
[[Jump into the void]]You open the door and walk through. You find yourself in the middle of a forest. Strange, you think to yourself. The vegetation here was nothing like you've seen before. The [[trees]] were all grey, similar to concrete and felt like they were polished. As you lift your hand from the tree, you hear a loud groaning sound and notice that the ground is now rumbling. The tree you just touched was starting to move upward, revealing more of its trunk until you see what appears to be many legs similar to that of a spider, carrying this "tree". You realize that what you touched wasn't a tree at all and that whatever it is is now moving towards you!
[[Run away!]]
[[Stand your ground]]You walk forwards in search of another door, only to be presented with two after a while. A [[door on the left]] and a [[door on the right]]. You do notice that you're [[gravitating]] slightly towards the door on the right however.
[[Jump into the void]]?This was a big mistake! You run as fast as you can to wherever you can to get away from that thing. You can still hear it moving towards you but at least it's a bit slower than you. You have no way of getting back to the tesseract either unless you can find a door to it either, so you're stuck here for the time being. You see [[a river]] you could possibly escape into and hope the thing can't follow, but it looks [[dangerous]]. [[A cave]] is also nearby that you can hide in, but who know what's in there?You decide to try to scare it off, or at least try to make it not bother you. You pick up the nearest rock and try to make yourself look as big as possible. The thing respondsby revealing a mouth, made visible by "splitting" the tree part of its body so that the top half swings down. You realize that you should have run while you could as the thing hones in on you.
[[?]]You say to yourself that you shouldn't have come here. This is a place that you don't belong in and that you should have buried the past. You know you love your son, but what you are doing shouldn't be allowed. Changing fate isn't something a person like you should do. You jump into the void, the vast emptiness. It feels nice, you think to yourself. As if all your worries were sucked away, you feel the darkness surrounding you until you can't see anything, not even the tesseract was visible anymore. You breathe a sigh of relief as all thoughts stopped and you become one with the void.
Relieve [[The beginning]]?It's no use! You realize the river is too strong. The water is rushing way too fast for you to navigate through and you keep finding yourself under the surface. You haven't been able to get a gulp of air for so long!
[[?]]You find yourself inside the cave. It's dark but it seems like there's a dim light source somewhere at the end. As you go deeper in, you eventually find what appears to be huts made out of dimly glowing rocks.
[[Enter a hut]]
[[Keep going]]It looks like this is the end. As you slowly drift towards the light you think to yourself; How could you save your son if you can't even save yourself?
Return to [[The beginning]]?You enter the door and find yourself in the [[open]].After walking through, you find yourself in a quiet [[neighborhood]]. You recognize this as the neighborhood you used to live in while your son was still alive. As you walk through, you find your old house. As you look from the sidewalk, you look over and notice people inside.
[[Keep walking]]
[[Go up to the door]]They say that love is a force that attracts people together and can bypass any other force and be felt anywhere. Could this be it?Maybe tree isn't accurate but it's the closest description you have. You dismiss the idea but is the tree...breathing?The creator. He transcends everything and has been described in all forms throughout human history. It seems all mythology with a god present has some kind of connection to this one.You notice that the neighborhood feels lifeless here and almost nobody is outside. Back home, the neighborhood was always lively.As you keep walking, you notice people are slowly starting to come outside of their homes. You keep waking in order to avoid any trouble but eventually a crowd forms a circle around you. [[What's going on?]]You walk up to the door and knock. A [[woman]] opens the door and stares at you with fear in her eyes. Suddenly a [[man]] from inside runs out and starts yelling at you to stay away. What could he be talking about?
[[Leave]]
[[Try and ask what he's talking about]]You've seen this woman before! This was your late wife who died shortly after she gave birth to your son. She was the only woman that you ever loved. But it seems like she doesn't know who you are, at least not like how it was in your world.As you start to run, you can hear a group of people running after you. They seem hostile and look like they intend to kill you based on the items they have in their hands. You waste no time and run into asmall building. Inside you see some [[books]] and a [[newspaper]] on a table. You need to find a way out of this world because it seems like your journey will come to a short end if you stay any longer.Suddenly, your pursuers enter the building you're in and you're forced to run through the hallway. You need to hide behind one of the doors!
[[Choose the closest door]]
[[Choose the furthest door]]
[[Freeze]]Before you can try and ask the man what he means, you unconcsiously go up to the woman since she was your wife back home. You have so much to ask. You want to talk about so much! But here she doesn't even know you. Before the words can escape your mouth, you hear a gunshot and feel a sharp pain in your chest. Looking down, you see blood start to spill around your chest and notice that the man has a gun in his hand. You collapse on the ground...
[[?]]You try to ask the crowd what is happening, but all of them look at you with blank expressions. Some of them have bats, knives, and other tools, making you feel uneasy. The crowd starts to close in when one of them calls you [[murderer]]. Suddenly everyone starts charging you, the ones with items in their hands striking you. It's no good, there's too many of them and they all seem to want me dead. The pain from all the blows start to noticeably get less and less...
[[?]]One of the people in the crowd asks why you killed so many children in the neighborhood. You think to yourself, "How could I be a murderer? How could I do this here?".You look at the newspaper and what you see makes you understand why everyone was hostile towards you. Apparently you are a killer that preys on children, specifically the ones from the neighborhood you were in.After going through the door, you find yourself back at the tesseract. it appears that this was one of the entry doors for you but [[something is wrong]]. There aren't any doors here no matter how far you walk. Is this a joke? You keep moving forward only to find yourself now staring at the void. As you try to backtrack you find that the path is gone and all that's left is the void. There's no where left to go...
[[Jump into the void]]You go through the door. [[A cave]]?Your mind goes blank and you can't decide what you're going to do. You know you have to do something but your body won't do as it's told. Suddenly, your pursuers catch up and the one with a gun takes aim and fires. All you can do is close your eyes...
[[?]]Everything here seems off. God told me that there might be others that create traps for people like me in order to consume them. I've heard of stories about the [[backrooms]] and other things like that, where people find themselves somewhere else with no where to run. All they can do is accept what is to come.They say if you don't pay attention, you can find yourself in the backrooms with no way out. Inside you find skeletons. They appear to be humans. After checking out all the other huts, you conclude that everyone that lived here is now dead. Inside one hut, you find a journal, but also can't shake the feeling that something else is [[nearby]].
[[Open the journal]]
[[Leave it]]Moving past the huts. Creatures with treelike bodies and spider legs start to give chase. You must have woken some of them up! You run as fast as you can but run into a dead end.
[[Accept fate]]
[[Try to do something]]Never heard of these titles before. They don't seem to exist in your world.Opening the journal, you notice the writing is in English. "Good" you think to yourself. You can at least understand what is written. Inside you find out that other worldy beings have been trying to lure people into traps since the beginning in order to feed. By being consumed by the [[nothing]], these beings become stronger. However, in order to bring a person into their trap, they need some kind of bait. The bait can be anything, from promise of power to [[saving a loved one]]. As you reach the end of the journal, you notice that the author left a note. The note states that the only way to truly escape the beings and not be consumed, you must either find what you were looking for or somehow kill the being that took you.
[[Find a way to kill the being]]
[[Try to find your son]]You decide to leave the journal. However as you turn around to leave, you notice something that catches your eye. You aren't exactly sure what it is but you try to pick it up.After holding it you notice that it's a cup but it had wierd marking on it. Suddenly, [[something]] springs out of the markings and bites your skin on your hand! you immediately get whatever it is off but you notice that you start to feel lightheaded. The spot where you were bitten also starts to smell funny. Suddenly, a swarm of those creatures start to cover you until you can't even see anythig but these creatures. They start to bit you, eat you, until...
[[?]]It looks like a tiny snake or lizardYou start to feel sick in the stomach. You now realize that the the being that let you try to find a world where you could save your son is not God at all, but rather, one of these "demons" that feast on people that fall into their traps.Does this mean the void? It has to be.This is the end. The creatures surround you ad close in...
[[?]]You do anything you can to get out. You throw rocks at the creatures but that only seems to anger them. Suddenly, you find a small hole that you can squeeze through! You quickly hop in crwaling your way through while you hear the creatures behind you in anger, unable to follow. After crwaling through for a while, you make your way out into the [[open]].You're now in the open. You know you have to kill the being that created the tesseract in order to win the game and escape the fate of being food for the being. Suddenly God, or rather the being, appears in front of you. apparently you learned something that you shouldn't have. The being grabs you and takes you to the void...
[[Jump into the void]]
[[Resist]]?After traveling through even more worlds, you eventually land in a world that seems almost identical to your original one. However, you notice that everyone seems younger and some people are missing. After asking the date and getting a strange look from a cop, you realize this might be a copy of your world but it seems like this world is set 5 years in the past! Based on the date you received, and [[the time]] afterwards, you realize your son isn't even born yet! If this world is like yours, your son will be born in an hour!
[[Go to the hospital]]But enough of that. You know why you're here. You were given another chance. To make things right. Even if it won't be in your own world, you can find another one just like it. You need to find your son who you let die in an accident. You've been given this opportunity by [[God]] himself but he told you to find the way yourself. This is where the journey begins. A journey to make things right and protect your son from his fate.
[[Continue forward]]Could you even survive this? The current looks really strong.The man looks really unfriendly. His hand seems to be reaching for something...You try to strike a deal with the being. It refuses as you already bet yourself when you first began this journey.

[[Unless]]?It sounds like slithering. You aren't really prepared for anything to attack you. Maybe the journal might have a clue or tip to defend youself?You tell the being that you will bet your son as well. It seems selfish, but it's the only way you can save your son. Either way, your son will only live if you can survive long enough to reach him. The being hesitates but decides to accept your deal. If you can find your son and save him from his fate, you can win the game.
[[Try to find your son]]It's 3:00 pmYou arrive at the hospital and ask where your son will be born. However, you run into yourself 5 years in the past! He calls you crazy and to stay away from him and his wife. It makes sense, You would've done the same thing if you were in a similar scenario. [[What now]]?
[[Force your way through]]
[[Find another way]]
or...
[[Wait]]?You force your way through. Or at least you try to. Your younger self tackles you to the ground and security pulls up to see what is happening.
[[Oh no]]You decide to try and find another way to where your son will be born. the sooner you can start protecting him the better. You try watching from the window until you feel a hand on your shoulder. Security has been trailing you after your younger self gave them a heads up about a suspicous man. They take you to be questioned...
[[Oh no]]It seems as though trying to see your son's birth one way or another will lead to trouble.You decide it's best to wait. To watch over your son until [[the time is right...]]You get taken to a mental insitution after evaluating you. Even after telling them a made up story, your actions made you seem dangerous. Because they also can't ascertain your identity, they decide to keep you in order to prevent you from causing trouble. You try hard to find a way to escape or be released but to no avail.
[[5 years later]]You lie in bed in your room at the institution. After blinking you suddenly find yourself face to face with the being you struck a deal with. He tells you that time is up. Your son has died and now it's time to pay up. You see your son next to him, pale and transparent, now a spirit after he died in that tragic accident. The being takes you and your son. You know what's coming next. You failed your son and because of your failure your son must pay too. You close your eyes as the void takes your son. It's too much to handle and then you feel the void and all it's emptiness swalow you up.
Now, it's over. [[Everything is over.]]UNKNOWN MAN SAVES YOUNG BOY FROM HOUSE FIRE
Last night, an man whose identity is as of right now unknown saved a 5 year old boy from a fire that started in the neighborhood. The parents of the child were unable to retrieve their son after a beam blocked the doorway to the room. The parents reported that a man ran in and broke through the beam and was able to hand the child off to the parents. The man was subsequently trapped in the room until the burning roof collapsed on top of him. Strangely enough, no remains were found after the fire ended and investigators are still trying to find out [[who this man was]].
The End.
Restart from [[The beginning]]?You did it. It's really over now. Your son is safe. As you make your way to the light at the end of the tunnel you can't help but smile as you hear the being howl in anger. You have given this being its first defeat it seems. No one has ever been able to win the game. Even if you died, you know that you won't end up in the void. You approach the end of the tunnel. Perhaps this will be a new journey, but there will only be a [[happy ending]].The End
