Mind Blind (01/31 Demo Update. A Story Where You Are NOT The Chosen One!)

I was just having a full blown meltdown at the mere thought of eggs and hot sauce combination as a food choice alone, let alone a weapon of destruction.

“Overthinking” is my middle name. That, and I like suffering my way through an atmosphere of complete paranoia–and if Nick is dead, then we were totally lied to, and all bets would be off. But yeah, the cigar might just be a cigar in this case.

Either way, speculation is fun.

On another, not entirely unrelated note, how many people other than me are doing a “morbid” run? My Button is actually morbid-confident, which is an interesting combination.

yeah, no, in terms of being “wickedly resourceful,” that leans too much towards “wicked” for me.

i personally feel the least underhanded (yet still clever!) option is the third! it’s smart, no one gets hurt (save Glitch’s ego) , and my Button can (or at least should have been able to :frowning_face: :bomb:) live with herself after.

My Button is leaning towards morbid-humour, we can both just laugh away the terror.

I love this game. I love how relatable the MC is. I had to flip a coin to choose between the answers because there were 2 or 3 of them that would fit my reaction very well. The story is really cool, although I must admit that at first I was confused with all the capital letters (or is it “acronyms”? my English fails me sometimes lol). I really hope the brother survives but if not … that also makes for an interesting plot twist: face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Mine is, but unlike others that do it for the humour, my MC does it from a place of doomerism and fatalism.

For mine that’s essentially a given, just with the twist of finding humor alongside it. Laughing in the face of inevitability.

This is a relatable content indeed.

There’s no discord as of yet–I’m still trying to figure out tumblr and tagging.

(I also updated the FAQ on the 1st post with questions people have actually asked rather than ones I imagined :sweat_smile:)

I don’t see those two stances as being mutually exclusive :yum:


(The next update will probably be late September. I had an epiphany yesterday that calls for some plot restructuring.)

Your sentence leaves off a very threatening vibe.

You know what else needs to be restructured? Nick’s body after his last scene.

When we choose our hair colour some of the options are missing the punctuation mark used to end a sentence. (Just a little thing that i always forget to report)
Also (chap 3 spoilers) the option where we look forward to see our dad does not clarify if we are leaving the crockpot at the office, i think the other options clarified this.
By the way, i am in love with the story. :blue_heart:

I was reading through it again and Nox is Roman, not Greek. The Greek version is Nyx

@Sunflower826 Thank you so much for bringing those to my attention! Will fix :slight_smile:

Are you referring to how K is said to be a lover of Greek mythology? Since the Roman Empire’s pantheon was pretty much copy-pasted from their neighbors and conquests (they were the OG plagerizers), I refer to the myths as Greek. I used the Roman version of the name since I felt that “Nox” was more gender neutral, given the popularization of Nyx within the fantasy genre. I don’t believe I wrote that Nox is a Greek word, but if I did it’s in error, so please point out where!

Just wanna write some thoughts and speculations here. Warning tho, it’s gonna be horribly structured and spoiler-ful

I do think that Button probably did do something very incriminating during toilet break; and that thing can possibly be setting up explosives. But the thing is, the explosion happened at the upper floors and will be hard to be accessed by Button, so this can be a huge red herring that we fall for who knows?

Also, I wanna talk about THE HANGMAN THING from tumblr!! (POSSIBLE BIG SPOILER) I think (I could very much be very wrong here) it said that Button is going to be accused for “blowing up the Aeon building” from what i deciphered :eyes: Possibly this “innocent” bathroom break will be our undoing and made us into a prime suspect. Although a very suspicious suspect, i do think it’d be hard to pin it on button instantly bc of the upper floors thing, the lack of motive if they did this intentionally, and the fact that Sally wasn’t alerted with any sort of mind control

…

WAIT HOW WAS SALLY NOT ALERTED OF THE MIND CONTROL?? Was Noh just very slick and subtle??

One more piece of thought: How the hell did Button get accepted into Aeon?? :flushed: I mean they did aced the test perfectly but they’re such a big security hazard lmao

Anyway, sorry for the long, unintelligible, and spoiler-heavy rambling lol

Nepotism and having good connections does have it’s uses.
