-> new game

-The sun rises on a perfectly normal morning in a perfectly normal neighborhood. There are birds theoretically chirping. There are trees theoretically growing a few smidges taller, and theoretically husbands are giving their theoretical wives a kiss on the cheek before they go to some job they might have in the downtown area that most definitely exists.

-Any of these things could be going on right now, but you wouldn’t know it because you’re asleep.

-Your bed sheets are adorned with silly drawing of planets and stars. When you were six you thought that shit was tight. Now, on your eighteenth birthday, the shittiness has become much more loose. So loose you could completely unscrew it without needing a screwdriver. With just your silly stupid meaty little hands. Besides your bed, there’s not much else expressive about your room at all. The walls are painted a boring blue-gray. Your dresser-drawer is made of fake-looking wood-maybe material and threatens to burst apart every time you open it. Your closet is full of clothes and useless things littering the floor, to the point where you have to reach in and hope you pick out something moderately nice-looking to wear every day.

-There’s a nice LAPTOP on your desk. It was the only thing you asked for last Christmas, so you got it because you’re a “special little man” and you “deserve the very best”.

-There is nothing else worth describing in your room. Besides the slightly stained carpet, and the three windows that allow you to see the street from your second-story point of view. Everything else in your room is kind of shit.

-It’s also the day after the last day of school, and you have officially graduated. So that’s a thing.

-It’s time you actually did something. What would you like to do?

-> wake up

-You don’t wake up. Funny thing about that actually. To get things done in this world you must have the right amount of MOTIVATION to do so. Most people have enough left over from the day before to get right on up in the cheery morning. You, however, have absolutely NO motivation.

-> what do I do?

-I’m sorry, I don’t understand you.

-> go over options

-I’m still not getting what you’re saying. Are you sure it’s English?

-> fuck, god

-That’s quite the tall order. If the christian deity does exist in this world, you might have to work your way into a relationship, he doesn’t seem the one to just tear off his toga and go balls-nuts.

-Another reason you can’t do that is because you are ASLEEP. Also it is COMPLETELY STUPID.

-> help

-Welcome to the world of Life Happens! A text-adventure life-simulation game designed by N DEX. If you are new to the text-adventure genre, the object of the game is to complete your TASKS in any way necessary by typing out exactly what you want to do, usually containing a VERB or a NOUN in a sentence to interact with your environment. The game is built to accommodate a large variety of commands, but correct sentence structure is a must if you want to get anything done.

-For example, GO LEFT is a viable command in a situation where you are able to do so. However, DIGEST YOUR INSIDES is not a viable command.

-Try to be a simple as possible when typing commands. The command GO LEFT works due to it’s relative ease to understand. However, JOURNEY YOURSELF LEFTWARD is not a viable command even though it commands the same thing. If you are having trouble inputting a command, try being as simple as possible.

-Many things in this game require SKILL POINTS in specific SKILL TREES. If your character is unable to perform a mandatory task, try improving his SKILLS by partaking in activities that require the SKILL to accomplish. For example, if your character needs to lift some REALLY HEAVY FUCKING THING, he might need a level of SOMEWHAT COMPETENT in the STRENGTH SKILL TREE.

-Another way of bypassing obstacles outside of a character’s skill is by SWITCHING CHARACTERS. This detail will be explained in full as you progress through the game.

-You will be faced with many obstacles and challenges in this game. We have programmed a TASK LOG so you can keep track of them all.

-To see your current tasks log, type the command “TASKS”.

-To read this message again, type “HELP”.

-To save your game, type “SAVE”.

-To load your game, type “GO TO LOAD MENU” to see your list of SAVES. Simply typing LOAD may be interpreted by the game to make your character try to pick something up. That was a real bitch to deal with during the beta-phase.

-If you’re still having trouble, type “TIPS”.

-Have fun! And make sure to email the dev team at “ndexdevelopers@gmail.com” for comments and more questions!

-> wake up

-I have already explained to you that you lack the ONE POINT OF MOTIVATION to ACCOMPLISH this specific TASK. You currently have ZERO MOTIVATION POINTS.

-> tips

-If you are at a loss of what to do, try typing some of these commands.
“ANALYSE ______” will make the game describe the object you specify in a very detailed manner. Try different ways to use this, like ANALYSE SITUATION or ANALYSE PROBABILITY OF SEX WITH (CHARACTER NAME).

-Remember to check your TASKS LOG by typing “TASKS” as a command.

-Typing STATUS will open your STATUS DIRECTUM, where you can access and view your current SKILL POINTS and SKILL TREES, as well as allow you to ask about each status in more detail by typing ANALYSE (ANY TYPE OF STATUS) while you’re in your STATUS DIRECTUM. Use this handy menu to see your character’s strengths and weaknesses.

-If you are really stuck and need help in the story and not just with the interface, type HINT.

-> tasks

-Your CURRENT TASKS include:
-Wake up
-Your SIDE TASKS include:
-Your total number of tasks is :1

-> analyse tasks

-Tasks are things you need to do. Think of it as the goals that get you closer and closer to winning the game.

-> analyse CURRENT task

-No reason to shout at me. I’m getting on it.

-Which CURRENT TASK should I ANALYSE?

-{Wake Up

-You can’t do any adventuring while you’re asleep. That won’t due. You’ll have to find a way to maneuver yourself around to waking up. This introductory TASK will teach you about MOTIVATION, and perhaps some OTHER SHIT.

-I see that you’ve been having some difficulty in WAKING UP. Perhaps, you need a break? Think about your next move, in the comments section if you don’t mind. And try to actually get something done this time.
