You grasp at what you thought was a key at first, until you realize there isn't a key there. Someone drew a key onto the floor with black chalk. In hindsight you realize you should have noticed that sooner, like before you even reached down towards it, especially since it's not a particularly well drawn key; you could say it's rather shit, and you can't believe you fell for it.

"I don't like this game."

>Quit

[–] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Quit? What do you mean, quit? You're not sure where the thought came from, or even what game you're talking about. Confused, you wander outside, whereupon you find a tree stump with a harpoon stuck inside of it.

You revisit your earlier thoughts. Perhaps you do know what you meant by quit. Really, you always knew. After all, you said it yourself; you don't like this game of life. You're free of the cabin, yet you feel more trapped than ever. There is only one conclusion; your loneliness is your true prison.

There's only one thing left to do, isn't there?

GAME OVER

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - "It's like the unofficial sequel to Disco Elysium."

When does this game come to Steam?

Holy shit, I looked again and can't believe the picture actually has a badly drawn key on the floor. I thought you were just pulling that out of nowhere.

Holy shit new ARG?

I wonder if the poorly drawn key is a clue. I go looking for a real key, or alternatively, additional drawings similar to the poorly drawn key

You search the cabin top to bottom, searching for keys, real or otherwise, and anything that could hint to the mystery only you are aware of. The only other out of place thing you find is the anvil in the corner, mysteriously out of place, atop which is... another shitty drawing of a key. God dammit, who's making these? You start to feel an insoluble sense of rage at this mysterious key perpetrator, but there's no finding them unless you can leave the cabin. No one else is in here but you, that much you're aware of.
