Fountellion in The Spiral: The Nature of the Game & Progression One

A gateway to a long-awaited game-world has opened for those who've found a key. This includes Dan Harvester, a guy who lives in a run-down apartment with his cat and runs a gaming channel. He's almost done playing and testing VR games, but this one could be his final chance to - truly - level up. What can it promise to him, and all its very first 'pioneers'?

'Fountellion'...is said to be 'natural' game-world, an organic metaverse full of artificial life that mimics the laws of our own natural world, with its shaping force of evolution. The game promises to be more than an open-world survival experience, for there are six 'insights' scattered and every player can find their own path to them. How much will Dan be changed, by his own search?

A game-within-a-game or a simulated homage to the natural world? A complete vision of a 'metaverse' design which overgrows or salvages addicted players?

There is only one way to find out: Tune in and experience Dan's 'avalogs'. For only by completing them together with fragments from the development, can you too discover the vision and legacy of 'Fountellion'.

Notes: Please be aware this is speculative sci-fi, and includes outlines for an actual game-world within the story. Therefore it can be a lot of 'gamespeak' in parts. But, dear players, bear with me: I do still edit and develop these origin books further here, but also plan to decentralise the 'green/organic metaverse' idea of simulated nature, which can be applied for other game writings .
