(WIP) Nightmare Blunt Rotation

Hello! My name is App, and I recently decided to work on a story called Nightmare Blunt Rotation. The story is a comedy themed IF that focuses on online relationships and how it effects real life perception! Very sorry if this isn’t formatted right…

[bombeater2442Xx]: do u guys think god fears what he created

Ever since you were young you’ve always been obsessed with an online sandbox game called Woblox. You were a young child given a tablet and expected to keep yourself busy, and you did. Friends came and went, and now that you’re in college, you’ve decided to give another shot at making friends online.

This friend group comes in the form of a Biscord group chat, but strangers online don’t always bring the greatest results.

With each day passing, you have to try and balance both your online life and offline life, keep relationships steady, and your parents satisfied.

Nightmare Blunt Rotation is a comedy IF that focuses on online relationships and how your online life can effect your real life.

Despite being a comedy, please keep in mind that there are serious topics within the work that will be listed in the story!
A few warnings that are prominent throughout the story include: joking about suicide, telling others to die, religious trauma, inappropriate jokes/humor, substance abuse, depression, and escapism.

More about the game

FEATURES

Customize your online persona and offline persona.
Text-fic styled interactions.
Balancing your college and online life.
Meet five ROs that you can pursue an either platonic or romantic relationship with.
Not everything is online, you may also find people you’re quite interested in offline!

ROs

CheriB00m (she/her): The owner of the group chat who’s comfortable with herself and quite enthusiastic to get her friend a proper friend group. She’s the classic happy-go-lucky type, but seems to go offline for long periods of time…

gUMShoeXx (she/her): A member of the group chat who’s entire personality is just being silly. She prides herself in making others laugh and keeping the mood up! It is a bit concerning how she doesn’t open up.

stxrdust3r (he/him): The longtime friend of CheriB00m. He acts as the voice of reason within the group and is quite blunt with his delivery as well. He doesn’t hesitate to correct people, yet isn’t that aware with how his bluntness may effect others.

xXLaced_Xx (he/him): A goofy guy with dark humor that was invited into the group chat by gUMShoeXx. He tends to have the “I’m not touching you, I’m not touching you!” personality, overstepping boundaries only by a little. He swears he’s trying to fix it!

Timblrwood09 (he/him): Another member of the group that seems a bit secretive, not sharing much about himself. Aside from that he’s quite talkative and tries to see things from both sides of the story, although that may not always be the best choice.

I’m planning on being active on Tumblr more than on here, so please feel free to send any concerns or questions there!

Hi @nortama, welcome to the forum and congratulations on the WIP! If you haven’t already, I’d recommend having a look at the information about QuickTest and RandomTest on the below pages which will help with finding and fixing the bugs that have been mentioned:

Thank you for catching these!! Made sure to fix them (first one ended up being a spelling error, second was because I forgot to put “irl” lol) so they should be patched up now : D

You had me at “Nightmare Blunt Rotation” and kept me with the knockoff Roblox and Discord group chat. Not done with the demo yet but so far this is pretty fun, if eerily similar to what some of my own Discord chats are… Suspicious :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
Overall, I like what you have so far and can’t wait to see more!

The most surprising part of this game is that there’s a girl in the group chat.

I would have imagined all kinds of CoG-style games, but not one that combines Roblox, Discord, and the protagonist’s real life; I loved it so much hahah

I hope to see more updates in the future; I’ve really grown attached to the characters

i said sugoi for the first time in my life in a chat group.

i told a kid that cats were lactose intolerant and it cheered him up. i solved someones life problems.

i got scammed for a sandwich due to a greedy government.

i destroyed social norms and convention and took a peek at someone’s phone.

I lied to my mother (in game) about doing schoolwork and ruined our fragile relationship of trust and honesty.

Great game. I wish I can talk in chat more to influence my relationship with the members. I also wish i could see the stat screen for my relationships a little quicker cus it takes two clicks to get there.
