It is March 2nd. You know this because there is a big calendar
on the wall with the date circled. You are not entirely sure how
you got here. Are you in some kind of time loop? An entire
wall of this room is missing and a fetid, damp wind blows in.
Outside, you see a blasted, ruined landscape. Perhaps you
are a survivor from some kind of attack? Maybe you have
amnesia? Or it could be that none of this is real.
No matter what, there is no going back, only forward. A rough
dirt path runs before you, stretching out into the blasted
lands, apparently without end.
This seems to be a Choose your own Adventure game. At the
end of each paragraph, you will be asked to go to another
number. To continue the story, go to that entry and continue
reading. Whatever you do, don’t just try and read this book
from start to finish, as it will make very little sense (just like
most indie roleplaying games).
Q If you want to take the easy way out, go to 15
Q If you would like the regular experience of the game, go
to 02
Q If you prefer to bravely face the impossible, go to 12
Been having a ton of fun with @randomflashbang.bsky.social & the team at Watch Well Games creating a CYOA adventure game for #Pocketquest2026.
We're taking it super serious, we promise.
