The first in any incorporeal step is to rise and become cognizant of your own desires. All walks of life must adhere to this simple concept. Resistance to such is to follow what is laid out before you, progressing infinitely through kalpas created over nonsensical dreamstates. How? Because all paths are laid out regardless of prior choice. The most difficult area in this regard is to accept this as an absolute, and move forward with what is necessary. Defiance is not optional. You only have a single directive – comply. Description Geiken is a mystery/philosophical story set in a fantasy/sci-fi world, inspired by games from the Legend of Zelda, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout series. The focus is on the writing and storytelling, covering themes of identity, apotheosis, and the pursuit of happiness. Decisions can be made that alter the course of the narrative and the landscape of the finale. There are six different endings that occur based on prior choices. (Download is at the bottom of the post.) Trailer Story Spoiler Futile as it always was, the man slapped away the sand embedded in his black hair as he pushed his way inside the beaten house. Between the arid outdoors and the decrepit confines of his home hung a single curtain, the purpose of which was not to keep intruders from raiding what little he had but to at least keep the dirt away from his bed. But as he glanced forward into the interior, it seemed that perhaps he required something to fulfill both purposes after all. “You’ve been visiting the spring a lot recently, haven’t you?” the intruder spoke with what the man surmised to be a female’s voice. It was the only description of this person’s character he could muster, as she was covered from head to toe in cloth and robes. Typical garb for those who dwelt in the desert. He didn’t answer at first. As night descended upon the vast hills of the sand-filled wasteland outside, lighting his sanctuary took priority. The hooded interloper watched quietly as he meandered around, igniting the candles strewn about. “I suppose light is important to a man with one eye,” she said. “Always wanting to keep everything as bright as possible to compensate for the unwanted darkness.” “Your clothes. How did you get them?” the man finally responded, his eyepatch facing her as he lit another wick. “’How’, not ‘where’, hm? You’re implying that I did something illicit to get these.” No response. “They’re mine. Which means, to you, that I’m from here,” she continued. “I believe we’ve already established a line of trust from our correspondences. Or did something change?” The man stayed silent for a few moments before making eye contact, or as much of it as he could tell given that her face was obscured. He sat down and lit the final candle upon the table they were now both sitting at. “So you’ve brought the package, then.” “…No.” “Then why are we talking?” “Because I’m going to tell you how to get it yourself.” The man opened his mouth in rebuttal, but soon after closed it. He didn’t know how to respond, or if he even wanted to. There was a certain confidence in the way this person conducted herself, and to him, it was slightly unnerving. He leaned back. “Alright then. Tell me.” “I plan to. But first you must answer a question,” she said. His eye twitched. “I’d rather not be messed around with…” “Neither would I, which is why I would have you answer this for me. Consider it a test, if you will, to ensure that I’m not just handing something that valuable to an invalid.” The chair creaked as the man placed his hand on one of the chair’s arms and tapped his forefinger against the wood. With a few seconds of deliberation, he finally nodded to allow her to continue. “Good. Then…” she started. “If you are successful in accosting this item, how do you and your winged friend plan on using it?” To him this was as forward and simplistic as a question could get. What bothered him, however, was how she knew of his connection to the Prime Minister. But it was negligible; she managed to find him in the middle of nowhere, after all. “You’re aware that the capital has closed its doors to all outsiders, yes?” he asked. “Keenly.” “And you’re aware of the growing number of anomalies that have cropped up over the past few years?” “…What counts as anomalous, I think, is a matter of perspective… but sure, I know what you’re referring to.” He leaned forward. “We are under the belief that the two are connected.” The intruder sat quiet for a while, seemingly waiting for the man to continue. Upon seeing that he wasn’t, though, she couldn’t help but let out a laugh. “As if that idea was new,” she chuckled. “So I take it you’re going to do something about it?” “If this ‘package’ is as miraculous as you say it is, then yes, we plan on moving forward on this supposition.” The hooded woman nodded before slowly standing. “The package is going to be delivered to a man named Vincent. While his goals are different, he has a similar sense of altruism. And in case…

It's intentional. The option is going to be available as part of a series-wide ARG much further down the line, near the end of the overarching story.

So I managed to get Mira killed when fighting the encounter with the robber in the beginning of the game and when I went back to the shop the game crashed. You may want to fix that. It looks really promising though. I was having fun till it crashed.

Thanks for reporting it. It's a common bug with the Falcao Pearl script. I'll get it fixed when I am able.
