Visual Novel Prototype

Where am I?

What is this place?

I'm looking around but...

Nothing is familiar. The walls are blank, featureless, and gray. I feel the wall but it's perfectly smooth.

Above me, the ceiling is the same. Flat. And below me, there's no difference.

The only thing I can see are two doors against the wall.

One door to the left, and one door to the right.

Which one am I supposed to through?

(selection)
Left Door
Right Door

(Left Door):

I put my hand on the knob and twist. Light blinds me, engulfs me, and swallows me up. It's so bright...it's too brilliant!

All sounds fade away. I can no longer hear myself, my breathing, or my heartbeat. It feels like...I'm floating.

Things seem to dim.

I open my eyes.

I'm back home. In my bed, as if I just woke up.

Was it all...just a dream?

(Right Door):

I put my hand on the knob and twist. It is pitch black. Complete darkness.

I am blind. It's like my eyes are closed, but they're wide open, and they see nothing. What is this? Where am I?

Cold grips me. My blood freezes. No...

Is this death? It can't be! My body...it feels number. It grows colder, weaker, number...until...

Nothing.
