Awakening
Black background. White text
What’s happening...I can’t see anything, not even black…my head feels dizzy, and I can’t remember why...I can’t remember...can’t remember...remember…
Player wakes up. Slowly he or she sits up and holds their hand to their head.
P: Where am I? Wait. (looks up) Who am I? *Player confirms name* Right. Of course.
Player gets up from bed and walks over to mirror.
P: Is this me? *Confirms looks* I guess it is.
Player looks around room.
P: I don’t remember being here before. But, somehow, I do. What is going on? This, feeling, De’ja vu? If only I could remem- (flinches in pain) Ow, why does trying to remember hurt so much? (shakes head) Guess I should focus on the present for now.
*following Phrase depends on personality*
Shy/Uncertain: Should I look around here or go outside?
Adventurous: (clasps hands) Time to find some clues! Out or in?
Boisterous: (Jumps up and down once) Okay! Well time to investigate! Should I start inside?
Easy-going: I think I’ll look *inside or outside* for now. Maybe I’ll find something.
