The Experiment

You woke up, squinting your eyes as the light shine directly above you. Slowly pulling yourself up from the ground, you examine the room. Vision still blurry from just waking up, you saw nothing but whiteness. As you try once more, you've began to realise that you're in an empty room. Just a plain white, square room with no bed, no decoration whatsoever, except the window cell at the wall currently facing you, which seems to lead into a dimly lighted hallway. As you try to walk over to the window cell, you suddenly feel a sharp pain running along your neck. Out of curiosity of what that pain might be, you investigate it with your hand. And that's when you felt it, a metal collar like device, strapped tightly around your neck that beep faintly when you touch it. [[Calm Down and try recalling your recent memories.]] [[Try to pull the collar off.]] (set: $score to 0)

You decided to retract your hand from the device and try to recall what had happened to you for you to ended up in this situation. As your recent memories slowly comes back. You remember being on a boat with two of your classmates/colleagues, your best friend, and your lover. You were on a holiday/vacation along with all of them as suggested by one of your classmate/colleague. As you try to remember more of what has happened to you and everybody else since you are the only person in this room. They must all be separated too. Your train of thoughts was interrupted by a strange male voice coming from the ceiling. "Ahem", you looked up and see a speaker and a camera around one corner of the room. "Ahem. Hello, Subject #1, I see that you've finally woken up from a nice long slumber". The voice spoke. "I hoped that our specimen didn't treat you too rough, did they ? I only order them to 'capture' you people after all". As the voice keep talking, you finally remember the last bit of your memory. The moment after you've landed on an island that was the destination of your trip. As you and all of your friends get off the boat and organising the luggages, everybody got knocked unconscious by a group of... no, a 'pack' of something. They operate very fast and quietly, inhumanely to the point that you only catch shadows of 'them'. Suddenly you felt you felt a very strong sharp pain at the back of your neck so felt the urge to touch it. [[Touch it to try and get rid of the pain.|Continue1]] [[Don't touch it and wait for the pain to subside.|Continue2]]

As you heard the beep, you panick. Gripping the device with all your strength, you try to pull it off violently. Now the beeping sound grow louder, and suddenly, the world around you turns black as you heard and felt a loud *pop* went off. -You're Dead- [[Restart?]]

As you're reaching back around your neck towards the device, the voice suddenly panick and said "STOP!". And you paused. [[Continue| Continue 3]]

You decided against the urge and continue to listen to this anonymous voice a short while longer, hoping that the pain will eventually stop. And then the voice pauses for a moment, he then began again. [[Continue| Continue 3]]

You choose the three keys to save your friends rather than yourself. The voice spoke again, "Hm... interesting. You're not as selfish as I thought you'd be. You may proceed Subject #1. [[Proceed]] (set: $score to $score +2)

You choose the two keys to free yourself and one of the other who got captured with you. And the voice spoke up, "Hah, I knew it. Most human are just selfish bastard who only cares about themselves... You may proceed Subject #1". The voice went away again, now you've finally obtain the key the free yourself! [[Use the key right now.]] [[Save the key for later.]] (set: $score to $score -1)

You chose to grab both sets, but suddenly there's a surge of electricity flowing through your veins. All throughout your entire body, you can faintly hear it but the voice seems to come back and said, "Oh I forgot to warn you, if you touch both, you'll get fried by an electrical current of 1000 Volt!". As the voice cut off, so does your brain. -You're Dead- [[Restart?]]

You chose to do nothing to protest the voice. As the time passes, you began to notice that nothing is happening. Maybe you have to make a choice after all. (Loop back to the choice.) or/ After what felt like an hour later, the speaker crackle up again, and the voice speaks in an irrotational tone. "Well well, if you're not going to make any choice then you are useless to me. Good Bye!". The voice ended along with the sound of Beep! on your neck. -You're Dead- [[Restart?]]

You decided to use the key to rid the collar device once and for all. You felt relief flushing through your body as you unlocked the device and put it on the ground carefully. Fearing that it might still explode if it fell off your hands. [[Proceed]] (set: $score to $score -1)

You save the key for later. You still need to free one of your other friend after all. [[Proceed]] (set: $score to $score -1)

The wall around the window cell began to shuffle. After a moment, it reveal a door to get out of your cell. As you open the door, it reveal a dimly lighted hallway leading left and right from your cell. [[Go Left.]] [[Go Right.]]

As you walk along to the left, the wall behind you suddenly closed. Blocking you from going backwards to where you came from. As you advance forward you notice that the hallway seems to be curving to the right as it gets darker. [[Continue|Continue4]]

You choose to walk to the right as your instinct told you to. After a short while later after walking along the curved left hallway. You found a dead end with a message on it. "Wall here, I regret to inform you that.... You've walk the wrong way!". And with that, you walked back to where you've came from and proceed to walk to the left path. With all the distraction on the wall, you fail to notice the blood trails on the ground seeping through the wall. A low growl coming from behind it. [[Continue|Continue4]]

After a short walk later, you stumble upon a door that was visible by the light above it. As you approach, you can hear somebody, a male screaming for help. And as you peek through the window near the door, you can see one of your classmate/colleague. Looks like a one way window because he cannot see you. His face filled with fear and worry as he keep pleading for someone to help him. [[Help him.]] [[Ignore him.]]

As you unlock the door from the outside, he stop screaming and waited, shaking in silence as if he's afraid of the unknown present that's approaching him. As you spoke up to calm him down, he recognises your voice and let out a breath he was holding with genuine relief. You rescue him with ease. Then both exit the room. [[Continue|Continue5]] (set: $score to $score +2)

As you heard the continuous pleading for help, you decided to ignore him and proceed forward. [[Continue|Continue5]] (set: $score to $score -1)

(goto: "The Beginning")

"Ahem. Now as I was saying, the device there, on your neck. It's an explosive collar. It will trigger after some certain element(s) has been met. Or if you shake it violently, for example, trying to pull it off will trigger the bomb within the device and 'BOOM!', your head will be flying right off!". You thank all the God & Goddess that you didn't try to pull it off back when you woke up. "Now let's get back to the main event shall we?", the voice continues. "You, my dear subject, is the 'chosen one!'. Well, more like the luckiest one out of your group. As now I will present you with options, options that you need to take/oblige". As he finished the sentence, the wall near the window cell begin to shuffled and revealed two sets of keys. On the left, there's a total number of three keys in a translucent box. Each key have a printed alphabet of letter 'N' on them. On the right, there's a similar box, with exception of it only carrying two keys, one have the same printed letter 'N', the other have a printed number of '#1' on it. As you stare at the boxes on the wall, the voice start talking again. "As you can see there, I presented you with two sets of keys. One of which can be use to free three of your fellow comrades!, the other set can only be use to free yourself and one more comrade of your choice". The voice stated. "Now, CHOOSE!", before you can ask anything, the speaker cut off with a crackling sound. Forcing you to make a choice on your own. [[Choose the Left Set, with 3 keys.]] [[Choose the Right Set, with 2 keys.]] [[Choose both sets, because you are greedy.]] [[Choose to not make a decision and protest the voice.]]

As you keep walking into the darkening hallway. You can hear a faint sob of a female coming from the wall to the left of you. As you get closer, you can make out a borderline of a door. This time, there seems to be a window cell.

You call out to the sobbing voice. As she heard your voice, she ran to the door and plead for your help. You recognises now that she's the other one of your classmate/colleague. [[Rescue her.]] [[Left her in the cell.]]

You open the door without calling out to the voice first. As the door creak open, you felt a figure charging right at you, screaming out in fear as she tackle you onto the ground. Suddenly you felt a sharp pain all over your torso as she repeatedly stabs you till you lost consciousness. -You're Dead- [[Restart?]]

You ignore the sobbing voice and proceed onwards. [[Continue|Continue6]] (set: $score to $score -1)

A short while after that, you kept on walking forward until you've reach yet another door. This one however was completely sealed shut with no window nor anything to see what or who's inside. (if: $score <= -3 or $score >= 0)[[[Open the door to investigate.|Open the door to investigate.]]] [[Ignore the door and advance forward.|Ignore the door and advance forward.]]

You decided to get her out of the cell and unlock her collar. She immediately express her earnest gratitude to you in the dark... [[Continue|Continue6]] (set: $score to $score +2)

You ignore her pleading voice and leave her in the cell. As you proceed forward, you can hear her curses loudly behind your back. [[Continue|Continue6]] (set: $score to $score -1)

As you open the door, you discover your best friend. He's being strapped onto a chair, unmoving. But a muffle sound can be heard from his sealed mouth. [[Save him.]] [[Turn a blind eye on him and close the door.]]

You ignore the door and proceed forward. As your legs lead you further away, you glance back at the door. A numb pain filled your chest, but you ignore it and continue to walk away. [[Continue|Continue7]] (set: $score to $score -1)

You refuse the urge to rescue your best friend. You've turn a blind eye on him and close the door. A numb pain filled your chest, but you ignore it and continue to walk away. [[Continue|Continue7]] (set: $score to $score -1)

You decided to help him. After you've untied him from the chair, he suddenly flung/jump up with all his might to hug you. This causes the chair to fell backwards onto the ground. As he's expressing his gratitude and appeasement. You notice something, an object strapped onto the under seat of the chair. As you investigate it, you found an additional key with the letter 'N' on it. And as you flipped it over, you can see that there's also a printed number of '#1' on it as well. After you retrieve the key, you proceed to exit the room. [[Continue|Continue7]] (set: $score to $score +15)

As you keep walking along the hallway, you notice a bright light coming around the corner. But before approaching that light, you found another door. This one was brightly illuminated within, you can tell because of the rays of light coming out through the cracks of the door. (if: $score < -3 or $score >= -1)[[[Open the door.|Open the door.]]] [[Ignore the door and investigate the illuminated area around the corner.|Ignore the door and investigate the illuminated area around the corner.]]

As you open the door, you notice that it was a room similar to where you've been held captive from. The only difference is that there's a coffin in the middle of it. As you went to investigate it, you found that on top of the coffin, neatly crafted onto, was your lover's name. Suddenly you panicked and throws the coffin open. Inside it, you found the unmoving body of your lover. [[Try to bring her back to life.]] [[Cries over her body.]]

You ignore the door and proceed forward around the corner to investigate the bright light coming from that area.

You began to perform CPR, pumping her chest with your hands, doing anything you can think of to bring her back. But alas, it doesn't seems to work. You close your eyes and slowly bend down to kiss her one last time. [[Continue|Continue8]]

After you see her body, you began to cry heavily. Apologising to her in the process, the tears dropping from your eyes onto her face rolls of to the side. [[Continue|Continue8]]

And like a miracle, she slowly opens her eyes back up and held out her hand to hold your face once more. Her warm touch and sparkly green eyes reassure you that she's still with you. The relief float back to you as you finally rescue her from this madness. You exit out the door after holding her close for what felt like eternity.

As you went around the corner, the bright light appears to be a light coming through from the exit door in front of you. And as you approach it, it slams shut, as well as the wall behind you. And the voice came back again, "Well well, I see that you've finally reach the end of my little experiment. Sadly it has come to an end, despite wanting to keep all of you as my pets forever. I still have to let you go, oh what a tragic. But there's one little thing I must tell you before you leave. Subject #1, the last card that you found, can be use twice. Which means that you can free yourself as well. I'll let you all live, just because.... there might be some hope left for some humanity after all". The anonymous voice slowly fade away, and replace with an A.I. automatic respond instead. It lead you through the exit door into the outside world. The island where you supposed to have a great holiday/vacation. This time you were immediately thrown onto the boat and were forced to take the 'amnesiac' drug that will make you forget everything that ever happen at this place. Afterwards, you woke up again on the boat, as it reach the docking area at your local port. You remember everything that had happened, but it seems that everybody else has lost their memories about it. And as you prepare to leave the boat, you look back at the way you came from and think. "Maybe it's not a bad holiday/vacation after all". -End- [[Restart?]]

As you went around the corner, the bright light appears to be a light coming through from the exit door in front of you. And as you approach it, it slams shut, as well as the wall behind you. And the voice came back again, "Well I see that you've finally reached the end of my experiment Subject #1. I have to say, you act just as I expected you to. There's nothing else to say here. Congratulation on completing this experiment. Proceed through the exit door". The anonymous voice slowly fade away, and replace with an A.I. automatic respond instead. It lead you through the exit door into the outside world. Before you enter the boat, you were forced to take an amnesiac pill and suddenly fell asleep on the boat. You woke up again once the boat has stop at the dock in your local port. Not remember a single thing that has happened to you on the island. After a short while later, police has come to investigate the disappearance of people who were suppose to be your 'companions'. But they must be mistaken something, you don't remember knowing any of those people... -End- [[Restart?]]

As you went around the corner, the bright light appears to be a light coming through from the exit door in front of you. And as you approach it, it slams shut and the voice came back again, "Subject #1, I have to say. I did not expect you to behave in such a way. You disappoint me, greatly. Now, since you act quite selfish here, you wouldn't mind if I did the same would you ?". And at the end of the sentence, you heard the wall behind you slide open, as you turn to look behind, the exit door has also been blocked off by another wall. And the voice speak up again, "Now, this is where we bid farewell, Subject #1. But fear not! You will get to meet my specimen after all, they will treat you nicely, like a 'delicious' little treat". And as the voice faded away, a low growling can be heard from afar. Not just one, several. They was no time to act, as a moment later after the growl, you did not even hear the tapping of foots as they all leap in and start devouring you like a starving group of puppies. A loud painful scream can be heard all throughout the hallway, everybody in their respective cells listen in horror as the sound of bone munching and flesh tearing continues for a while later, along with the scream that slowly fade away until the owner of the voice draw his last breath. -End- [[Restart?]]

As you went around the corner, the bright light appears to be a light coming through from the exit door in front of you. And as you approach it, it slams shut, as well as the wall behind you. And the voice came back again, "Well you've reached the end of my experiment Subject #1. Though you did not did not fully reach my expectation. I still have one more task for you to complete. To unlock the door, your collar either need to be unlock or destroy. I hope you know what that mean". And as the voice finish saying his last sentence, you immediately understand, that for your friends to get out of here. You need to be the sacrifice. And so you step back, the wall behind you open up again just enough to let you pass through. You heard your friends call out for you as you move past the wall and it slam shut again. You hear a very faint cry of sorrow from your companions, which is a suiting melody for you. Because at least, you will allow them to go back and live a normal life again. Your final thought was the gratitude towards the voice, whom was generous enough to prevent your friends from seeing your final moment. And the last word you were able to get out before everything, every senses was strip away from your body was. "Thank you". And a loud beep can be heard echoing throughout the hallway as you succumb into your well deserved eternal sleep. -End- [[Restart?]]
