PREMISE

[vivariummods]

P R E M I S E You're awake. You're not in your bed. Or in your room. Or even in your house. You don't know where you are or how you even got here. You're lying on a cold floor, and your head is pounding. It feels like you've been hit with a sledgehammer. You can barely move, but you push yourself up anyway, and look around. You're in an elevator, but the doors are shut tight. You throw your fists at the enclosed doors, shouting for help, but then you stop. On your left wrist is a bracelet, one you have never seen before. It feels heavy and cold, and no matter how hard you tug at it, it refuses to come off. You flip it over, as if to remove a watch, but the other side of the bracelet is solid: no buckle, no clasp, nothing. A steel ring runs from the face of the bracelet and around your wrist, and you know that you won't be pulling it off any time soon. Panic and frustration begin to mix, when suddenly, the elevator screen turns on, featuring a figure dressed in a heavy raincoat and bulky gas mask. You try to question them, asking where you are, how you got here, who they are, but they don't reply to any of your questions. It only seems to be a recording. "Consider this a privilege. You have been chosen." A rasping voice speaks out of the gas mask, cold, mechanical, and distorted. "You are going to participate in an experiment." ... ? "The 【 Nonary Game 】." "It is a game... where you will put your life on the line." NAVIGATION
