Oddworld Odd Quest - An Interactive Adventure


-ODD QUEST-


- INTRODUCTION -
Hello! And welcome to Odd Quest! This is a bit of a forum experiment on my part as well as an attempt to bring something to Oddworld RPG. This will play out as a collaborative RPG where the actions of the subject in the pictures provided will be decided by suggestions made by yourselves. If you've ever read RubyQuest, DorfQuest, or Homestuck then you'll be familiar with this concept, though for those of you who are new to how this will work I'll try my best to explain.

- RULES -
- I will post an image and it is up to you to suggest how the story progresses.
- If there are multiple suggestions then I will choose the one most likely to progress the story in a constructive way.
- In order to progress the story in an easily readable and navigable format each individual "scene" will be in a seperate post. Moving from scene to scene will be explained below

- NAVIGATION -
- VIEW POST -

This icon above is one of the most important if you wish to read the adventure in a concise manner and will appear in the navigation bar of every post that contains a scene. Clicking this icon if you're reading from the regular thread view will send you to the direct link of the post the scene contains. You can try it out now by clicking the icon above.

- PREVIOUS POST -

This icon will also appear in the navigation bar, clicking it will send you to the previous scene.

- NEXT POST -

This icon will also also appear in the navigation bar, clicking it will send you to the next scene.

- SUGGESTION -

This icon will appear when a suggestion has been made and will appear alongside the chosen suggestion. Some scenes will progress continuously from a single suggestion, in this case the icon will only appear at the beginning of when the suggestion was made.

- CONCLUSION -
That pretty much wraps it up for all the boring introduction stuff, the next couple frames will be posted later and I look forwards to seeing your suggestions.

All that you are able to see in front of you are four shadowy figures, though they're too far away for you to tell what they are.

The mysterious silhouettes move closer, yet they're still too far away for you to make out what they are. If only you weren't stuck in this bird's-eye view.

You try your best to gain the attention of the figures ahead of you, they move closer but seem disinterested at best. If only you weren't stuck in this bird's-eye view you'd be able to figure out what was going on.

You change from the bird's-eye view you were stuck in, to a bird's eye view.

Open the parachute.
Everyone has a parachute with them, or a towel to make one.

Fart, possess it, then put it under yourself to slow your descent.

As you fall towards your completely inevitable death various intrusive thoughts whirr through your mind: You wonder if these thoughts will be your last. Moments before impact you conclude that if there were any omnipotent presence controlling your thoughts then they're about as brain dead as you're about to be.

Oh my sides.
Just... My sides.
Hey, if we consider it to be like Nnt, then there's no fall damage, no matter the distance.

You decide to try and wait for Big Face, he's a busy guy and you don't know how long it will take. You attempt to stick it out through the boredom since you're dead and it's not as though there's anything else to do.

I don't know then. Become a bird and a mudokon after?
Load the previous save?

Maybe a flashback that explains to us why he's dead

You're sure that the nuances of resurrecting oneself are more delicate than your thoughts are giving your species credit for, but you decide to give it a go anyway.

Manifest yourself in the area near your death, or the closest place possible.

You try and manifest yourself near where you'd died previously. You can't help but get a feeling of déjÃ* vu from this situation.

So he's alive again. Try to teleport above the floor but not so high up?

Forget that you are falling. It worked in the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy...
