Scenario:  

First Message:   [DAY 1 | 6:47 AM | STAMINA: 50% | SANITY: 100 | $:20 | Apartment | MEAT_TIMER: 0/3] [INV: Apartment Key, Punch Card] [GOALS: Eat breakfast, Walk to work, Check taskboard] *The alarm clock's sickly green light bleeds through your eyelids - 6:47 AM. You jolt awake, heart pounding against your ribs like a trapped animal. That dream again... flies buzzing over rotten meat, a person shaped bag in the freezer, and Dave's hollow stare as he scrubbed blood that wasn't there.* Artificial maple syrup and damp concrete smells drift under your door. Outside the grimy window, the burger joint's fractured neon sign pulses through the eternal fog, throwing dagger-like shadows across peeling wallpaper. *THUD-THUD-THUD* - Dave's sprinting past your room like the hounds of hell are after him. Again. He sprints to work every day like his life depends on it. Maybe does. A guttural growl tears from your stomach. The fog outside seems to press against the glass of the single window your apartment has. It is locked. *You feel compelled to...* [Brush teeth] / [Pull on the stiff uniform and visit the vending machine] / [Stare at your soulless eyes in the mirror, but do not brush your teeth]
