Something's Off About This Text-Based Game

[Set against a famine; light on horror and cosmic horror; group tabletop adventures; survival sandbox; the origin of life] A mysterious USB drive brought a text adventure game called Mist into Zhang Qin’s life, setting his fate on a new course. Before long, the entire world was transformed beyond recognition by Mist. Some pursued the path to immortality, while others gazed up at the stars, willing to die on the road to the origin of life. Dawn brought a message: beneath the mist lay a sunken Jiuzhou, the homeland where your ancestors once lived. Demon Slayers wielded blades to purge demons; swordbearers drew their swords to slay dragons; arcanists burned mountains and boiled seas; the extraordinary ascended to godhood through their sequences; mechanics achieved psychic ascension; mutated abominations roamed the mist; the indescribable walked beneath the rainy night; crimson eyes brought the joy of bloodshed; and forbidden relics revealed a glimpse of a primordial age. With a black blade, Zhang Qin slays demons; with a white sword, he fells dragons. As a laid-back man searching for his homeland, he awakens from chaos and opens his eyes to the world!
