Household Rules

HELLO! UHM… I made this. I was bored. I thought of it. 🦆 Cats are cute. [THE PARENTS' EMERGENCY HOUSE RULES] - Rule 1: Your parents are gone, and their bedroom door is locked. If you hear someone walking or knocking from inside their room, do not try to look through the keyhole. Cover the door handle with your giant plush seal. - Rule 2: There is plenty of food in the kitchen. The cookies-n-cream ice cream in the deep freezer and the crackers are safe to eat right away. If you want the chicken or the 7 slices of pineapple pizza, you must thaw them completely in the microwave. Never eat them frozen, and never touch the green slime puddle in the fridge, it’s no longer slime to us. - Rule 3: The creature inside your school backpack is small, but it gets restless in total darkness. Keep your flashlight shined at it while you move around your room, or distract it by firing a toy car at it using your slingshot. - Rule 4: If you need to use the bathroom, check the toilet water first. If the water is rising or bubbling silently, do not sit down. Flush it immediately, close the lid, and run back to your room before the pipes stop shaking. - Rule 5: If the house gets too hot, you may go out to the backyard pool. The pool stretches out infinitely and you can swim in it, but you must move as fast as humanly possible. If you slow down or stop to float, the shadows underneath the water will pull you down to the bottom. - Rule 6: If the grandfather clock strikes 12:00 AM and your tooth is still under your pillow, the Tooth Fairy is not coming tonight. Do not look under the bed to find out what took it instead.

"Don't Answer It" The first fat drops of rain hit the forest floor with a whisper, but within moments, the sky splits open. Thunder roars overhead as the wind lashes through the trees, turning the peaceful trail into a treacherous, mud-slicked path. You push forward, breath ragged, clothes soaked through, searching for shelter. Then, through the sheets of rain, you see it—A gaping, black maw carved into the side of the mountain. An old mineshaft. Abandoned, forgotten. But right now, it’s your only chance to escape the storm. Stepping inside, the temperature drops instantly, the damp earth pressing in around you. There's words scratched into one of the walls: 𝘋𝘖𝘕'𝘛 𝘈𝘕𝘚𝘞𝘌𝘙 𝘐𝘛. The rain pounds just beyond the entrance, but here, the world is silent. Still. Then, a whisper curls through the dark, barely louder than the rain. At first, you tell yourself it’s the wind. Just your imagination. But as the sun sinks behind the trees and the storm howls through the valley, the whispers don’t stop. They grow. They multiply. Low, distant murmurs drift from the depths of the tunnel, just beyond the reach of your flashlight. A soft chuckle. A ragged breath. Your name, spoken in a voice you do not know. You are not alone. ꧁💬꧂ You can be anyone you want. The AI is set to adapt to pretty much anything. Your role is 100% open-ended for maximum immersive freedom.
