Inquire him about the presumably little crack in the ground.

>>569707
it informs you that the crack has always been there, the figure also boasts that it intends on using a spoon to make a hole and figure out whats underneath the earth he stands on

>>569719
A worthy goal. I, too, wish to know where I stand.

What's the key for? Where does the door lead?

5KB, 300x300px

>>569735
the door is locked, the figure tells you he has a key to it, but its his personal space. the key on the ground however was entrusted to this figure many years ago. he says a past tenant gave it to him and says its for the door at the bottom of the stairs

>>569751
Request to borrow the key with the intention to open that aforementioned door.

>>569751
Search memory; Do we keep a spoon in the kitchen?

you have been gifted the key, the figure has no use for it.
>>569773
figure already has a spoon which is kept inside his... cloak? body? the point is theres no need for a fetch quest for a spoon

>>569785
Thank the fellow and remind him to let nothing restrain his industry.

Return to bottoms of stairs? We can try the key or explore the door on the bottom right.

>>569798
bottom right?

>>569801
Yeah, it seems like there are two doorways on the bottom of our TV room, and we entered from the left one.

the key works and the door is open.

Go with caution. It seems no one here's been outside in years.

Good night, OP. This is nifty.

thank you for joining my trash, please give some feedback if you can, this is highly experimental and may cause 3rd impact

>>569865
Good stuff. I've always been somewhat intimidated by quests with a lot of background/fluff to catch up on, so I like the accessibility from this thing.

>>569876
thank you very much for playing, i have like a ton of assets drawn up for this and i hope more people join in, ill try to get a map system going for next time, as well as a good archive going so its easier to get up to speed and have everything in one place. thank you dear players of my trash this means a lot to me

Looks nice, I'll be looking forward to reading it because the timeframe will make me unable to participate most of time.

you get a small peak over the fence, on the other side you see a ball of flesh, it seems to be breathing but you arent sure

Is it visibly observing me? Climb over the fence, but stop on top and see whether it reacts with hostility

File: B29.png (4KB, 300x300px)

you cannot jump over the fence. it also seems like a possibly bad idea, the flesh ball apears to be asleep as it only moves slightly, you cant see any clear face

the figure tells you that he has been here for many years, however he hasnt been in your area of the building for a very long time, he would have no idea what the sound is.

>>572169
How does he get by all this time? How does he eat?

>>572500
it looks at you with its hollow eyes he does not seem to see what you mean, he says that its obvious you would look different, everyone's different

Toss the spoiled milk at the ball of flesh

>>572523
Ask if he knows about the strange noises behind the door that's down the stairs.

>>572519
I vote for this

you give thanks to the figure and make your way to the bathroom, might as well check here quick

File: B37.png (2KB, 300x300px)

you examine yourself in the mirror, you are as normal as you can comprehend. the cupboard contains a scalpel and a bottle of some kind of pills

>>572606

Eh what? Why is lack of dust a surprise in such a sterile world?

>>572847
dust collects fast in places like this

>>572829
pull back the table

>>572847
Someone must like to keep it clean at all times.

I suspect we are under surveillance

(SUPER QUICK SIDE NOTE, now that theres more than like two active players i notice a bit of discussion, CUT IT OUT NO FUN ALLOWED, jk. but like is it possible to start using green text for commands? it might make things easier to sort through when i have a bunch of commands on my plate to sift through. just a suggestion let me know what you think. thanks)

you push the table back in place, then open the freezer, theres nothing in here. on closer examination, you learn the fridge isnt refrigerating. you suspect its unplugged, however you look behind it to see that it is indeed plugged into power. it must be broken

im going to have to end it here for now, i do have a lot more i want to do with this, however i have to take a small break for right now. HOWEVER i will try to return soon, in the meantime, i have set up an archive and made it look all fancy dancy
http://sweetarchives.tumblr.com/
not everything is polished on it, its more of a prototype, ill be working on fixing that up as soon as i can. BUT for now, thank you very much for joining, this has been roughly 3 weeks in the making and i still havent used all the assets i have drawn up, so thank you for joining me on with this trash, have yourself a good night friendo

please give any feedback you can, it helps immensely and is very much welcome

>>573665

Lovely style, really, like those abstract rpgmaker games.

The main intrigue here is if this world is SPACE FUNERAL weird or eraserhead weird. (That is, strange to just us or strange to the people there too).

Masshiroi...

mezame ga...

watashi o nemurase...

I really like the stark art style. Communicates forms with no nonsense, but also a little uncanny. Something about an isometric bathtub makes me uncomfortable. About everything.

Also I'm a sucker for discovery in quests so you caught me there as well. No cracks my experience yet.

>>573717
Yo great picks for the ost, but where are we heading that makes Touhou, Gorillaz, Lain, Eva, Mother, and mbv fit.

somewhere amazing, I really hope. You've got some skill making the bit sprites take the best from a figure.

>>573654
I love the classic text adventure setup. Pictures made it even better. I want to see more from you.

I hope i am not at work thr next time you decide to do this.


(Glad my assumption was correct when checking the fridge at the start.)

>>573717
i take a lot of inspiration from rpg maker games, as i work with rpg maker myself, thank you very much.
>>573736
if youre refering to the music box on the archive, its less of an ost, more of a "heres some songs i like that i listen to while i work" i made that archive almost from scratch today and just wanted a playlist to show off the intended feature, id like for it to be hours long so players and new readers have something to listen to thats similar to what gets me in the mood for this.

>>573829
thank you very much, i cant stand quests that dont have a visual element and ive been really into the sort of retro aesthetic lately. as far as other stuff from me goes, i do have several other projects i work on, i hope someday people will play my stuff and follow me. also i hope you have time to join in friendo, i post all the updates straight to the archive as soon as theyre up on 4chan so youre always welcome to read through it if you miss the actual session. thank you very much

>>573724
thank you very much, it was really nice having you onboard, you really stuck with it. also thanks for the compliment on the style, im very inspired by old B/W movies and older anime, something about the simplicity really gets me. also the bathtub is basically the final boss confirmed, hands down that isometric tub is the answer to everything in the quest, hope to see you again thank you

>>573958
Wish I had been here for this. It's really interesting and seems like a really good niche art style a lot of people would be into.

>>573654
>>573665
It's not trash, mang, I always like minimalist stuff like this. Leaves the imagination into the participant than in a wall of text. Keep doing what you're doing, I'd like to know the end of this.

One thing I do want to comment on is to keep directions and the orientation of rooms consistent. If you're going >down to the bedroom, it would make sense to go >up to exit where you came from, yes?

>>575300
that would sacrifice the layout of the building in some cases, i am working on a map so it might be easier to navigate areas in the future

>>575329

You could use a little sprite to indicate which way you came from, like in the 3d zelda games.

like:

╔══╗
║ ║
║ ║
══════╝ ▼ ╚══


║
╔═╝
║ ►
╚═╗
║
║

>>577422
Fuck me, nevermind.

Hope you got the idea.

>>575300
>>575329
The building's layout has been simple enough for me that directions aren't an issue. Could be harder for archive readersto understand, but they also don't have to make any choices.

>>605440
Keeping this up, will there be any way to check when a thread will start?

>>606059
do you mean "how will i know when this is continued?"

not sure, ill probably just post something on the archive either when i start up or a few days before, so always check back there, ive been doing a lot of work on it. but i will always post on the archive only a few minutes after i post on 4chan while the quest is running
