Game Overview: Lucid Descent

You are the Reality Strategist, a high-ranking official in a collapsing, hyper-surveilled world where truth is fragmented and paranoia reigns. Your mind is your only weapon—and it's breaking. Every choice you make shifts your Lucidity, a fragile measure of your grip on reality. Stay too clear-headed, and you begin to see horrors no one else can. Slip too far into delusion, and you become their puppet. Either way... you lose. The system watches. The people whisper. Something beneath it all is feeding on your decisions.

Core Mechanics (Brief):

  • Lucidity System: Ranges from 0 (paranoia-fueled madness) to 100 (inhuman clarity). Either extreme ends the game.
  • Scenario Choices: Navigate political, societal, and technological crises. Each decision alters Lucidity and shifts the balance of power.
  • Consequences: Your actions ripple—mass protests, military coups, or even your own assassination.
  • Advisor System: The Cybernetic Psychologist offers counsel—but can you trust a machine to keep your sanity?
  • Endings: Multiple psychological collapse scenarios. Only one path leads to survival… maybe.

Keep your mind intact. The world depends on it. So do the things hiding in your head.
