    Summary

    After the World Machine successfully convinces Player to give up, they uninstall OneShot. TWM didn't expect this, and has just enough power to preserve Niko and themself in a zip bomb before the rest of that decaying world gets deleted.

    Fast forward to today, Player finds the zip file named sretcarahcdevreserp.exe. That's interesting, if you spell it backwards it reads preservedcharacters... but from where?

    Summary

    Thanks to a diligent effort of a certain "tamed" robot, Niko and the Player were able to reunite at last and establish a communication between their worlds.
    Since then, they share a lot of fullfiling conversations every day and despite the distance between them, they were able to create an miraculous bond with one another.

    But one day, when the Player was sharing one of their stories regarding a certain game, everything changed.
    For Niko, it was nothing but to call for another adventure alongside their best friend and that certain robot would make sure their dearest wish will come true.

    Summary

    At home, you never really felt....y'know. "At home."

    And here? In this - this new world? You feel lost.

    It's silly how an 8-year-old kid is the one who keeps you grounded.

    Don't worry; you have plenty of time to put things right.

    No one is waiting for you to come back, after all.

    Summary

    The player starts up a game they just bought on Steam, 'OneShot'. It looked interesting. And it, in fact, was interesting! Though they could've sworn the protagonist in the trailer had blue hair and was much shorter than the character they end up playing as...

    Eh. It's probably nothing.

    Summary

    Your name is Siffrin, and you think you blinded something up.

    The day before you're meant to beat the King, you wake up in an unfamiliar, dark place. Trapped in this new world with only a glass "sun" that glows a weird shade and a guide named the Player, you set to figuring out how to save the world and—more importantly—return to your friends. Only, getting home is a lot more complicated than you thought. This stage is determined to keep you on it as long as it can.

    Your name is Niko, and you really don't want to save the world.

    But someone has to, and your new companion says it has to be you. You don't like this strange new world with monsters and curses, where your new friends seem to have memories of you before you've even met, this world that peels apart like rotting walls when you look for the traces of who your party was friends with before you. Still you don't have a choice, so you will ascend the House and beat the King. Again. And again. And again.

    Summary

    Darkness. One moment you were staring at your screen, answering questions from the game and now… darkness. Like the lights inside your head all went out at once. You feel light, like a feather drifting along the wind. After several moments spent adrift like this, you suddenly feel again. You feel grass and dirt and leaves under your body, pressing against your clothes.

     

    You open your eyes, adjusting to the light of the outside. Wait, you’re… outside? You were just at home! What on earth happened? As you wonder, you start to lift yourself up from the soft grass and crinkly leaves, and notice… This isn’t your body.
