And with the sweat of your brow...

Fun Fact: Did you know that if the multiverse is real, there could be an almost infinite square mileage of completely unexplored ocean out there?

No reason.

...

You wake in one of 25 rooms with a sense of unease that doesn't quite track with how nice the accommodations are. Maybe it has something to do with the giant window leading out to the sea. The temperature is low, which might make you wish you had woken up under the luxurious covers instead of atop them. The lights, too, are low. But next to your bed is a small personal radio, and it's playing a song for you. There's also a small note printed on folded cardstock next to it.

Dear Prospective Citizen,

Welcome to the Helios Suites at New Rapture. The time should currently be 12:00 PM. Please take a moment to get your bearings and become acquainted with your new environment, then meet in the hotel lobby at 1:30 PM sharp for an orientation with Mayor Fontaine.


With only that for guidance, there's only the one thing to do: get out there and start exploring... well, it's hardly a full city, but it's something! And in the halls (or on the wall of your suite or the lobby), you very well may find up to 24 other captives.

What you do until your meeting with Mayor Fontaine, well... that's up to you. Every room certainly gives you something to talk about.

[Oh Johnathan, if only you knew...

Hagakure turns to the guy, still trembling a bit.]


Someone so unbelievably sick and twisted that there's no way you can wrap your head around it. That's what the person running the last game like this was like.

"Last game"?! You're telling me that there is someone out there so cruel to do something like this more than once?

pretend I didn't spell Jonathan's name wrong

Apparently!!

[After the outburst, he realizes how loud he was being and takes a breath to think.]

Though it can't be the same person. They're very definitely dead now.

YOU'RE VALID

That's a relief, although I cannot say it's much more of a comfort knowing that multiple people have considered this idea.

[The outburst shook him up a tiny bit, but not enough to really upset him.]

How were they stopped last time, in that case? Perhaps we could use the knowledge to escape our captor before anyone gets hurt.

Weeell, it was kind of a long process... We got far enough into the building where we were able to piece together everything that was going on and corner the mastermind into finally appearing before us!

Problem is, it took a lot of people dying to even get that far. I dunno how we'd get to the mastermind in a place like this.
