“What if death in a video game actually had consequences? Just imagine: You’re a detective looking into a murder that the police abandoned. Investigate the scene, and bam! There’s a culprit there searching for something! You reach for your gun, and then mess up with the controls for firing and accidentally use a bandage because you’re new to the game. The culprit shoots the detective, and he dies.

A generation later, the victim’s son has grown up, and has taken over the mantle. Between business ventures, he explores old properties that he thinks had something to do with his father’s death. Exploring a derelict old building, he chances a leap over a collapsed floor. But, not realizing the game had QuickTime events, he messes up the jump and gets impaled.

We then go generations later to a wheelchair-bound PI in the far flung dystopian future. After an hour long conversation with his caretaker, he enters a secret room where he looks over the evidence handed to him by the detective and the son to see if he can piece together the mystery from a century ago. Was it The Butler? Or was it [NO OTHER SUSPECTS AVAILABLE]”

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
