ARE YOU LOST

ARE YOU LOST? [[Yes.]] [[No.]]

Where did you come from? [[I just woke up.]] [[I can't remember.]] [[I came from the water.]]

Are you found? [[I want to be.]] [[I don't know.]] [[who are you?]]

//YOU WANT TO BE FOUND// //WE ALL WANT TO BE FOUND// //WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE WORTHY?// [[I believe I am.]] [[I don't know.]] [[**YOU PANIC,RUN.**->RUN]]

You are confused child, you need your rest. Why don't you come into my arm? [[go back to sleep.->REDEEMED]] [[//your heart drops, you don't feel safe.//->ESCAPE]]

I am what you see in the water. I am you but <strike>better</strike>. Do you want to feel better? [[I want to look at the water.->I'm going to the water.]] [[I want to feel better.->LIMBO]]

//I'm sorry child, go back to sleep.// [[go back to sleep.->REDEEMED]] [[go outside.]]

It's ok child, //go back to sleep.// [[go back to sleep.->REDEEMED]] [[who are you?]]

What do you remember? [[I don't know.]] [[I heard a loud noise.]] [[ I don't remember anything.]]

You must be mistaken. //There are no noises here.// The world is <strike>quiet</strike> here, no one can hear you. Do you know why? [[There is no one here.->Graveyard]] [[I can't make a sound.->LIMBO]] [[You're wrong, they can hear me.->LOST]]

You hear a loud noise. You feel the world get colder. The water draws you in. Do you remember now? [[I still can't remember.->LOST]] [[I don't want to remember.->ESCAPE]] [[I remember someone else.->Graveyard]]

//Your visions goes black.// Do you remember feeling the sun? Do you remember feeling <strike>better</strike>? How long has it been since you've felt **better**? [[I can't remember the last time I felt.->LOST]] [[I want to see my family.->Graveyard]] //[[I believe in myself, I need to get out of here.->REDEEMED]]//

''YOUR LEGS ARE WEAK BENEATH YOU.'' ''YOU ARE BEING FOLLOWED.'' ''SINCE BIRTH IT HAS FOLLOWED YOU.'' ''YOU HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING.'' ''DON'T GET TIRED NOW.'' [[Keep running.->ESCAPE]] [[Close your eyes.->END-RESTART]] [[Look back.->END-FALSEEXPLAIN]]

**WHY ARE YOU LEAVING?** **WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD LEAVE?** **WHERE ARE YOU GOING?** [[I'm sorry.]] [[I'm going to the water.]] [[**YOUR HEART DROPS, RUN.**->RUN]]

You are tired child, you need your rest. [[Why don't you come into my arms?->[[go back to sleep->REDEEMED]]

They always leave me for the water. Don't you understand? There have been acres of you before me and there will be hordes more. You can't leave me for the water the water is not //clean//, despite what they tell you. Why must you go to the water to drink? [[I drink from the water to go home.->LIMBO]] [[ Who were the others?->Graveyard]] [[ I drink from the waters to finally rest.->HOME]]

//all you see is light,// // your mind has failed you again.// //YOU START TO FEEL <strike>BETTER.</strike>// [[I want to feel better.->ARE YOU LOST?]] [[I don't want to feel better.->LIMBO]]

The voice you here has faded. There is an everlasting sun and you can't get warm. You find your hands cemented to the shoreline. //YOU BEGIN TO SINK.// **YOU CAN'T GET BETTER HERE.** //YOUR MIND IS STARTING TO FADE.// **YOU CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT BETTER IS.** YOU START TO [[FEEL <strike>BETTER</strike>.->END-FALSEEXPLAIN]] YOU LOSE YOUR [[FOOTING.->END-RESTART]]

You aren't alone. You aren't safe. **You need to hurry.** What do you do? [[Jump into the water.->END-RESTART]] [[Find your balance.->END-FALSEEXPLAIN]] (live: 4s)[(goto: "END-FALSEEXPLAIN")]

There is a sudden silence. You are <strike>alone</strike> now. You close your eyes and see waves. At the bottom of the lake you find fields of the dead. You are amongst your <strike>family</strike>. Are you happy here? [[Yes, I am finally <strike>home</strike>.->LIMBO]] [[Yes, I remember what happened.->REDEEMED]] [[No, I need to go back.->ESCAPE]]

You feel yourself sinking. For now it is easier to give in than to remember. You hear a voice cry out: //You have lost your way, are you ready to be found?// [[Yes.->BANDCAMP LINK]] [[No, I'm not done here.->ENDREALEXPLAIN]]

You remember what it is to feel alive. You escaped the clutches of something you don't understand. For now, it's better if you try not to understand. This is your only chance to [[start over->HOME]]. [[Do you want to try again?->ARE YOU LOST?]]

You are <strike> alone </strike> at the edge of the water. You remember the sound of people talking, but can't hear them. You remember the feeling of the sun, but can't see it. There is a warmth inside you that continues to grow. Everything is <strike> better </strike> here. You look into the water and see a face. You can't make it out, but you believe it is your face. //You are at peace here. You feel better.// //You are <strike>alone.</strike>// //<strike>The night is </strike> over.// [[//<strike>Rest, child.</strike> Drink the water.//->FALSE EXPLAIN]]

''YOU NEED TO KEEP RUNNING.'' ''DON'T LOOK AT THE WATER.'' ''DON'T DRINK THE WATER.'' ''YOU HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR, DON'T GIVE UP.'' //There is a loud noise and you feel the world shake.// At th edge of the water, you see your reflection. //The noise is growing closer, your heart beats faster.// ''LISTEN TO YOURSELF, TRUST YOURSELF.'' Your reflection reaches out a hand. Do you take it? [[Trust yourself.->FALSE EXPLAIN]] [[Listen to yourself.->REAL EXPLAIN]]

You find yourself by the water. You feel alone at the edge. Do you feel safe here? [[I feel safe here.->ESCAPE]] [[I don't feel safe here.->REDEEMED]]

You trusted yourself. { (live: 2s)[ (stop:) You see yourself in the reflection, your smile turns sharp. ] } { (live: 4s)[ (stop:) //You feel <strike>better</strike>.// ] } { (live: 6s)[ (stop:) You have [[died.->BANDCAMP LINK]] ] }

You listened to yourself. { (live: 2s)[ (stop:) You see yourself in the reflection, your smile turns sharp. ] } { (live: 4s)[ (stop:) You walk away from the water, a weight is lifted. ] } { (live: 6s)[ (stop:) You see the sun again, you feel warm. ] } { (live: 8s)[ (stop:) You are alive. Remember this feeling. ] } { (live: 10s)[ (stop:) Tomorrow will likely be worse, [[remember this feeling.->BANDCAMP LINK]] ] }
