Game Information
Your have arrived in a town in Nunavut, whatever your reason may be - be it to attend a school in the area, tourism, curiosity, friends or family, or otherwise. Perhaps it was not truly your choice at all. You may have been brought here by force - perhaps even from another world - or maybe you were randomly selected for the project from the world at large, and manipulated enough to encourage your travels here. It is likely that you would not have come here, had they not wanted you to. The year is unknown - there is no access to news of the outside world.
When you arrive, perhaps a secretary, or a housemate or someone will greet you - perhaps not. It may be best, either way, to go read the announcements on the bulletin board, where your name may already be posted with a room assignment, and the instructions to pick up your key at the first office. You will have be given a map of the building, and told that you are free to go into town whenever you’d like to shop, work, or socialize. Leaving town, however, must be requested before hand - on the premise that it is dangerous to wander out into the northern wildlife without people at least knowing where you are.
The town itself is simple - the people there talk of only their daily lives, not looking for the excitement of the outside. They do not have an abundance of new technology, beyond their televisions (with limited cable) and their phones (that are without long distance). People live here peacefully, working and learning, playing and living, and not worrying about the dormitory, its purpose, or the world at all.
Perhaps you will begin to notice that the complex is not what it appears to be quickly - regulations and the like of this level are suspicious to some. Or perhaps it will be the dreams that begin to make you realize.
Unwittingly, at first, people will find their dreams taking strange shape, usually within days of arriving. Your housemates find themselves in your dream, or you find yourself in theirs - though it still seems just a dream. At first the memories of these are passing - more subconscious than anything else, but as time goes on…
The memories would become more clear - vivid - as time passes. Sometimes there may be a lingering pain or sensation. Other people’s memories of the dreams also become more vivid, and it may become noticed that some of you are sharing your dreams.
If you dare talk about them, of course.
The machine, unfortunately, is not always stable.
