The world has been dark for as long as you can remember. The sun vanished years ago, and now humanity survives by the faint glow of artificial light. You are a member of a small community, living in an old power station that houses the last working generator. Food is scarce, hope is scarcer, and every decision feels like a matter of life and death. [[Check on the generator|Generator]] [[Visit the community hall|CommunityHall]]

The generator hums weakly, its light flickering. It’s the heart of your community, but it’s failing. You notice a warning light blinking on the control panel. [[Inspect the warning light|WarningLight]] [[Ignore it and return to the main area|Start]]

The community hall is a place of gathering and solace. You see families huddled together, sharing what little they have. A child approaches you, holding a small, handmade lantern. [[Talk to the child|TalkToChild]] [[Address the community about the future|AddressFuture]]

The warning light indicates a critical fuel shortage. Without more fuel, the generator will fail within days, plunging the community into darkness. [[Search for fuel|SearchFuel]] [[Call a community meeting|CommunityMeeting]]

You gather a small team and venture into the darkness. The outside world is cold and silent, the air thick with ash. After hours of searching, you find an abandoned fuel depot. However, it’s guarded by a rival group of survivors. [[Negotiate with the rival group|Negotiate]] [[Fight for the fuel|Fight]]

You gather the community and explain the situation. Some suggest rationing the remaining fuel, while others propose sending a team to search for more. [[Ration the fuel|RationFuel]] [[Send a search team|SearchFuel]]

You approach the rival group cautiously. They are wary but willing to talk. They offer you the fuel in exchange for half of your community’s food supply. [[Accept the deal|AcceptDeal]] [[Refuse and prepare for a fight|Fight]]

A brutal skirmish breaks out. You lose two members of your team but manage to secure the fuel. The victory is bittersweet, and the community mourns the fallen. [[Return to the community|ReturnWithFuel]]

You gather everyone in the community hall. The room is tense, and eyes are filled with fear and anger. You must decide how to address the growing unrest. [[Apologize for the difficult decision|Apologize]] [[Defend your actions as necessary|DefendActions]]

You work tirelessly to repair the generator, ensuring it runs efficiently with the new fuel. The community’s mood improves slightly as the light grows steadier. [[Check on the community|CommunityHall]] [[Rest and reflect on your decisions|Reflect]]

You bring the fuel back, and the generator’s light grows steady. However, the cost of your actions weighs heavily on everyone. [[Hold a memorial for the fallen|Memorial]] [[Focus on preparing for the future|PrepareFuture]]

You hold a memorial for those lost. The entire community gathers in the hall, placing handmade lanterns in a circle. As people share stories of the fallen, something changes. The grief turns into determination. Those who were once divided now stand together. With morale boosted, the community is more willing to take risks. You now have the chance to: [[Organize a major supply run into the ruins|DistributeSupplies]] [[Investigate the secrets hidden in the city|InvestigateSecret]]

You focus on preparing for the future, making tough decisions to ensure long-term survival. You implement strict rationing, fortify the power station, and train teams to explore further into the ruins. One day, a scouting team returns with shocking news—there is another settlement, thriving, just beyond the wasteland. You stand at a crossroads: [[Reach out to the new settlement|RallyCommunity]] [[Stay independent and continue surviving alone|StayStrong]]

The community agrees to ration the fuel, but the reduced light takes a toll on morale. People grow restless, and whispers of dissent begin to spread. [[Address the growing unrest|AddressUnrest]] [[Focus on maintaining order|MaintainOrder]]

You call a meeting to address the community’s concerns. Some argue for drastic measures, while others plead for patience and unity. [[Propose a risky plan to find more fuel|RiskyPlan]] [[Encourage the community to stay strong|StayStrong]]

You encourage the community to endure, focusing on small, steady improvements. Some agree, while others doubt your plan. After a few more weeks of strict rationing, tensions rise again. The generator is still failing, and the pressure is mounting. You need a new approach. [[Send a scouting team to find new resources|SendTeam]] [[Focus on preparing for the long-term future instead|PrepareFuture]]

You set out with a small team, braving the darkness and the dangers that lurk within it. Along the way, you uncover clues about what caused the eternal night. [[Continue the journey|Journey]] [[Return to the community with the clues|ReturnWithClues]]

You send your most trusted members on the perilous journey. Days pass without word, and hope starts to dwindle. Then, one night, a single survivor stumbles back into the settlement, weak and shaken. They whisper one final message before collapsing: "We weren’t alone out there." [[The End – Something in the Dark|Start]]

After days of travel, you reach the city. The fuel reserve is real, but it’s guarded by automated defenses left over from the old world. [[Attempt to disable the defenses|DisableDefenses]] [[Risk triggering the defenses to retrieve the fuel|RiskTrigger]]

You bring back evidence of the old world’s downfall—maps, notes, and blueprints. The documents suggest a hidden facility deep underground, one that may hold the key to reversing the eternal night. But time is running out. [[Lead an expedition to the facility|InvestigateSecret]] [[Keep the knowledge hidden and focus on survival|PrepareFuture]]

You manage to disable the defenses and secure the fuel. As you prepare to leave, you find a hidden laboratory with information about the catastrophe. [[Study the information|StudyLab]] [[Focus on returning to the community|ReturnWithFuel]]

You decide to take the gamble and rush the fuel depot, setting off the automated defenses. Sirens blare, turrets hum to life, and chaos erupts. Some of your team members don’t make it. But as the dust settles, you find what you came for—enough fuel to power the community for years. The cost was high, but the light will remain. [[The End – A Costly Victory|Start]]

The laboratory reveals that the eternal night was caused by a failed experiment to harness the sun’s energy. There’s a chance to reverse it, but it will require immense sacrifice. [[Share the discovery with the community|ShareDiscovery]] [[Keep it secret to avoid panic|KeepSecret]]

You return to the community and share the truth. Some are inspired by the possibility of restoring the sun, while others are terrified of the risks. [[Begin preparations to reverse the catastrophe|ReverseCatastrophe]] [[Focus on survival and let go of the past|FocusSurvival]]

You decide to keep the secret hidden, fearing it will crush the community’s spirit. You focus on maintaining hope and stability. [[Continue leading the community|CommunityHall]] [[Reflect on your decision|Reflect]]

The community works together to build a device that could reignite the sun. The process is fraught with danger, and not everyone survives. In the end, the sun begins to rise again, but the cost is immense. [[The End|HopeRestored]]

You decide to let go of the past and focus on building a new life in the darkness. The community adapts, but the memory of the sun fades into legend. [[The End|NewBeginning]]

You stand firm, explaining that the deal was necessary for survival. Some respect your resolve, but others feel betrayed. [[Call for unity and cooperation|CallForUnity]] [[Focus on repairing the generator|RepairGenerator]]

You promise to find a better solution, one that doesn’t require painful sacrifices. Over the next few days, you and a few trusted members secretly work on an alternative plan: modifying the generator to run on scrap energy cells salvaged from old-world technology. It’s a risky experiment, and the generator fails multiple times before you finally get it to work. The power output is unstable, but it buys the community time. Now, you need to decide what to do next: [[Send a team to search for more energy cells|SendTeam]] [[Look for alternative fuel sources in the ruins|InvestigateSecret]]

You urge the community to put aside their doubts and stand together. At first, your speech seems to work—people nod, exchange glances, and some even step forward to pledge their loyalty. But others remain silent. The fractures in the community are too deep. Small factions begin forming, some still following you, while others break away. One night, a rival leader emerges, claiming you are unfit to lead. You can: [[Try to negotiate with them and unify the factions|RallyCommunity]] [[Challenge them directly and assert control|FightLeader]]

You take a moment to reflect on your decisions. The weight of leadership is heavy, but you know the community depends on you. [[Return to the generator|Generator]] [[Visit the community hall|CommunityHall]]

The child tells you the lantern is a gift for you, "to keep the darkness away." Their innocence and hope touch your heart. [[Thank the child and offer encouragement|EncourageChild]] [[Reflect on the weight of leadership|Reflect]]

You can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to the ruins than just supplies. Digging deeper into the abandoned city, you find remnants of old research logs—fragments of data hinting at something larger. The eternal night wasn’t a natural disaster. It was created. A failed experiment, an artificial catastrophe. Armed with this knowledge, you face a decision: [[Return to the community and share the truth|CallForUnity]] [[Bury the truth and focus on survival|PrepareFuture]]

You pull the team leader aside, demanding details about what they saw in the ruins. After some hesitation, they reveal something unsettling—the city wasn’t empty. Figures moved in the shadows. Watching. Waiting. Whatever happened to the world, some things survived in the darkness. You must act: [[Warn the community and prepare defenses|RallyCommunity]] [[Dismiss the fear and focus on rebuilding|PrepareFuture]]

The supplies are handed out fairly, boosting morale. The community is relieved, but a deeper issue lingers—there’s still no long-term solution. One night, a group approaches you with a desperate request: to seek out a rumored underground bunker that may hold enough resources to sustain the community indefinitely. [[Lead the expedition to the bunker|ReturnWithClues]] [[Decline and continue rationing what little you have|StayStrong]]

You reveal the truth about the world’s fate. Some are inspired to fight for a better future, while others fall into despair. [[Rally the community to take action|RallyCommunity]] [[Focus on maintaining order|MaintainOrder]]

With passionate words, you inspire the people to take action. No longer will they live in fear of the dark—they will together fight for a new future. The community mobilizes, forming scavenging teams, engineers, and defenders. Over time, the settlement transforms into a beacon of resilience. You now have enough support to attempt something bold: [[Send a team on a high-risk scavenging mission|SendTeam]]

You call a meeting to address the dissent. Some argue for more freedom, while others demand stronger leadership. [[Compromise and loosen some restrictions|Compromise]] [[Double down on maintaining order|DoubleDown]]

You loosen some restrictions, allowing more freedom. The community becomes more harmonious, but resources are stretched thin. [[Focus on finding more resources|SearchFuel]] [[Reflect on your leadership|Reflect]]

You tighten your control, ensuring order but alienating some members. The community becomes more efficient but less united. [[Focus on repairing the generator|RepairGenerator]] [[Reflect on your leadership|Reflect]]

You beat the living shit out of the rival leader, and as you stand proudly over his unconscious body, you know what you must do. [[Inspire|RallyCommunity]]
