"Welcome here, I have been waiting here for a long time."
Is this...?
It's dark around you, and you try to remember, but there's nothing.
Name, age, identity, past memories seem to have never existed at all.
Your mind goes blank.
"Are you...?"
You're trying to get information from the only person here.
"I am the guide here. I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, everything will be revealed after this game is over."
A rather cold voice came from under the hood. Although he called you "you", you didn't hear any respect from the words.
The other person seems to be very familiar with you, at least very familiar with the past "you".
You are curious about the other person's identity and the "game" they talk about.
"The next step is to play a game, and the "interface" should already appear in front of you."
The other person didn't mean to appease you and quickly entered the topic.
You don't know anything and your heart is in a mess, so you can only convince yourself to accept the other party's setting first.
"First, please look at the upper right corner. The menu here has functions such as viewing conversation records, adjusting screen brightness, game sound, and loading archives."
"Be sure to understand the controls and adjust them to the best before the game starts, and of course, you can re-adjust these options here even after the game starts.
For example, if you have difficulty seeing something clearly, or if there is a sound you don't want to hear, just adjust the corresponding brightness and sound in the environment settings. "
You moved your eyes upward, and sure enough you found the three-stripe symbol in the upper right corner.
"Click"
With the emergence of this idea, the menu is displayed in front of you, from top to bottom:
Archive

Conversation Record
※※※※
Environment settings
Simple, even somewhat crude menu interface.
Try clicking on the option with all asterisks.
No response.
Does it have to be unlocked through the game? You thought subconsciously.
You click on the environment settings again and adjust the brightness to the highest
——It's useless. It's dark here, and you can still only see the hooded man clearly. There is obviously no light source here, and you can't even see your own hands clearly. Why can you see the hooded man clearly?
"Okay, that's the end of the prologue. This is a game. You will play a girl on the Black Whale to achieve a certain goal. After successfully achieving it, as a reward for completing the level, you will restore your original memory."
What?
"Wait!" You said anxiously, "How do I know what to do when you just say this? What about the mission? I mean, since it's a game, at least tell me the goal of completing the level? Defeat the disaster and rescue the princess, or become a champion or something like that?"
Hey, your mind was obviously blank, but you subconsciously said something that seemed very familiar.
Is this just what the past "you" knew? Disaster? Champion? What's this? It doesn't sound like a world view.
You feel confused.
"You also need to explore this yourself." Hood said coldly, "I am only responsible for guiding and will not interfere with your game process. As for that goal, past memories are not necessary for survival, and it will be up to you to decide whether you want to complete it."
"Come on, please enter your character's name here. After confirming your character's name, the game will officially begin."
A translucent panel appears in front of you.
Character name: ＿＿＿＿＿＿ (please enter English or Chinese, no more than six characters)

＊Looking at the copy, you can tell that it is a product of our firm, but it actually doesn't matter.
*Fate update, very slow (mainly update next door, and I haven't figured out the plot of the Black Whale yet)
*There is a true ending, but it is not necessarily the best ending (the previous text contained spoilers, but it doesn't seem to matter (scratching my head))
Intention: What exactly do you want?
