Oh shit it’s back! I was just thinking about this game the other day while chilling on the forums. The amount of times I played that old demo just to beat the shit out of those heroes hahaha. I’m excited to see the reboot once the demo is a bit longer!

I am so glad this is back. The old version was one of my favorite things to read when I was still newer in the forums just browsing around. :purple_heart:

The Daydreamer is not as tightly wound as the others, the easy breezey. All versions of First are pretty smart but ‘attentiveness’ may vary.

I like to envision them wandering off mid-boos battle to stop and grab a snack.

This was a great start, a very interesting story. I am excited to read more! Since it’s very short, I don’t have too much feedback.

My comprehension is fried (which is probably just a me issue), but there were a few times I wasn’t quite sure what the subject of the sentence was. I thought that the MC was bolted to wall, but the wall was re-bolted.

I have some questions about the future direction:

What is the age of Subject 1? They seem like a child (being bribed with cupcakes and all).Will Subject 1 be young throughout the whole story?

Do you have ideas for other characters?

Is the woman scientist (Comel? Colmel?) going to be a “good” or “bad” or “grey” character? Will she be manipulating Subject 1? Does she just truly care for Subject 1? Is this something that could change based on player choices?

Wait has the game gotten update or what

As in a new version of this, or this being a redux of the orginal?

I’m not a fan of forced exposition. Let us discover the world in the context of the narrative as it becomes relevant. Here’s hoping the next update brings conflict, characterization, and opportunity to show not tell.

The intended path of the story im constructing but not ready to unveil.

Ps:i blew up the world so to speak.

Lab: childhood=initial characterizations
Dynamic event= me kicking the PC out into the greater world i call the Riftwater Sector.
Explore the first Settlement= haven’t decided which. Old-Riftwater-canyon town:superpowers on the frontier
Esmerseaside:port city of back alley deals and vigilantes
Drenched Heights: military fortress to keep the area safe post disaster.
Ivory Isle: corporate island of glam and shenanigans.

Sound fun?

Ps: yes you’ll be grown up before you leave lab and much thanks
