Friction Protocol

Enter SomaSys. A corporate virtual reality system built for training, simulation, and wellness retreat. Except something is wrong. Users have gone missing. Financial records don’t align. The system is changing in ways it was never meant to. You are ${What is your name?}, an internal investigator sent undercover to uncover fraud, anomalies, missing people and whatever SomaSys is trying to hide. You are not a hacker. You are not here to play hero. You are here to find the truth. Inside the system, logic bends. Memories fracture. Reality glitches at the edges. And something inside SomaSys is watching you back. Not distant. Not passive. Close. One presence in particular: Silas Verrick. An unauthorised entity woven into the system like a fault line. They know more than they should. They appear when the cracks widen. And their interest in you feels anything but accidental. Sometimes, they feel almost real. A step too close. A voice just behind you. The sense that if you reached out.. you might not come back empty handed. What does Silas really want and what will they do to get it? Your choices shape how the story unfolds: * Logic: precise, controlled, analytical * Witty: sharp, disruptive, deflective * Empathy: intuitive, emotional, connective Every response shifts the tension. Every interaction leaves a mark. And the deeper you go, the harder it becomes to tell whether you’re investigating the system… or letting something inside it learn you. -------------------------------------------------------------- Made with Inner Self by Lewd Leah (Thank you!)
