One Among Guys
A letter got swapped in the paperwork, and now you're living where you shouldn't be. Can't move out until the end of the semester, and your roommates have already figured it out.
World is ready — start right away. Each move costs 1 ₽, first ten free.
What is this world
Russia, present day, a standard technical school dormitory. Iron order reigns here: the dorm matron keeps an eye on cleanliness, students cook dumplings on electric hot plates, and at night it smells of booze and machine oil. But someone clearly mixed up the papers — and now you're here, in the men's dorm, where every other person keeps a secret.
At stake: Someone already searched your bag while you went for hot water — and now there's a stranger's item under your pillow that you didn't take, but exactly what half the floor is hunting for.
Who awaits you here
Everyone has their own interest in you. Their attitude shifts based on your actions, and you can see it on a scale right in the game.
Rough but fair; loves order and loud music, but quickly calms down if you pour him some tea.
Wants from you: To find out if you stole his stash of money under the mattress — otherwise he'll throw you out along with your stuff.
Sneaky, nervous, constantly twirling a pen in his fingers; tries to help everyone, but there's a strange chemical smell about him.
Wants from you: To offer you a deal — keep his 'research kit' in your nightstand in exchange for protection from Sledgehammer.
Tough as an old felt boot, but sentimental inside; believes in bureaucracy more than God, and hates noise after eleven.
Wants from you: For you not to make a fuss or file complaints — she'll cover up the mistake in your documents if you help her sort out the missing basement keys.
Where it all begins
The door to room 413 is slightly ajar. Through the crack, you can see: on the bed by the window sits Tolik-Sledgehammer, intently going through the contents of his mattress. Hearing footsteps, he turns sharply. On the table by the door is your open bag — the items are neatly put back, but not the way you left them.
Tolik-Sledgehammer — Hey, newbie. When you went for hot water, did anyone come in to see you? Just skip the stories, I'm asking seriously.
This is one possible opening. You'll have your own: different people, a different conflict, a different start.
Where it may lead
- Strike a deal with the roommates and stay
- Find out who set up this 'mistake'
- Get close to the one who covered for you first
- Set your own rules in the room
- Find out what happened to the previous occupant
- Push for a transfer — if you still want one
FAQ:
No, you choose your own gender — the world will adjust the dynamics accordingly.
Each has their own agenda, and it's not always about romance.
It can be, if you steer the scene that way.
How it works
No pre-written answer options. Speak, act, ask — the world accepts what you state as fact and adapts. Actions can be marked with asterisks.
Each character has a scale from −100 to 100. It shifts based on deeds, not polite words, and is visible directly in the game. The world keeps a list of facts that cannot be forgotten: promises, debts, secrets, enemies.
Characters act without your command: they demand, lie, leave, and return. From time to time, a twist occurs that changes the situation. The story is saved — you can return a week later and continue from the same point.
How is this different from character chat:
In the chat, you're talking to a single character, and everything hinges on the conversation. Here, it's a whole world: multiple characters with their own interests in each other, a setting, time of day, and events that happen independently of you. You're not a conversation partner, but a participant in the story.
