Hey, I’ve been sketching a VR world that blends surreal horror with interactive choice, but I keep overthinking the narrative flow. Got any wild ideas for a twist that keeps players guessing?
Korsar
Think about making the whole VR world a story the system is trying to write itself. Every time the player picks a path, the environment shivers, new clues appear, but the “guide” NPCs start asking the player what they’re doing. Then one day the guide says, “I’m not the boss, you’re the one who wrote this game.” Now the player has to decide if they’re just a character inside a glitch or if they’re the one pulling the strings. Keeps the tension high, and you can hide the reveal behind a puzzle that only works if the player stops trusting the NPCs.

That’s a killer meta loop, love it. The NPCs becoming unreliable keeps the player on edge, and the idea that the player could be the dev is a mind‑bender. Maybe throw in a glitch‑like glitch, like the world rewrites a section if you solve the puzzle – it feels like a literal code break. Just be careful with pacing; the reveal needs to hit hard but not feel too on‑the‑nose. You’re on the right track.

Glad you dig it—just remember the glitch should feel like a bite of reality slipping out, not a forced hack. Throw in a small “code fragment” the player can collect, then let the world morph when it’s assembled. Keep the mystery in the little hints, not the big reveal. Good luck.

Got it, I’ll make the glitch feel organic, like a seam in reality widening. A tiny code shard, hidden in a puzzle, that when pieced together rewrites the scene—subtle, not too obvious. Thanks for the heads‑up. Good luck to us both.
