Gamelink: https://corru.observer/ (Recent firefox update is still breaking it, either try another browser or wait till it's fixed.) Thread to discuss the game, its lore, and any fanworks based on its setting and lore.
Game kinda lacks any real discussion outside of tumblr and its main discord, so im starting something here. Just keep any discussion vaguely on topic will ya?
>Be Quo >Quo Tir >Doing biological studies on the Earth Continent known as ‘North America” >The Bright cousin world contains so many strange Biomes and Fauna! >You couch down to examine some strange white fungal growths >It will take us many eyes to fully document the inhabitants of just this one conti- >A Loud Bang rings out in the forest. >You freeze but all the fauna around you scatters, obscuring the direction of the sound >You decide to remain still, unsure of the cause of the sound. Is it some predator you have yet to see, and natural event, something else entirely? >Your thought halts as you hear rustling in a nearby plant, curiously you peek your head over. >You observe a Bright cousin, having just emerged from a bush it was previously occupying. >Its dress in a odd tunic, a mix of contradicting colors, some that blend seamlessly with the colors of the local environment, while the other is a bright orange hue. >It even has stripes of some highly reflective material. How curious! >Is it trying to blend into the environment or not, I must ask! >You stand up fully and face your new friend. >Its freezes as soon as it makes eye contact with you, eyes wide and a facial expression you have yet to observe. >You pull at your non-existent neck as you shift your translator into something it can understand. >”Hello Friend! Were you the source of that big sound earlier?" >No verbal response. >New bright friend remains motionless barring one step back. >In its hand you notice some sort of long tool, some contraption of dead metal and fibrous “wood” as they call it. >Before I can remark about it, the Cousin turns heel and sprints off into the forest. >Is there something he is running from? Should I be running from it? I can answer both questions by following my friend! >You give chase. >Bright cousins aren't the best runners, but they make up for it with endurance! >You are catching up, you wonder where it is running too? >It notices your approach and speeds up, is it trying to race you, or is the thing he is running from gaining lead? >You speed up as well, trying to match its heightened pace. >Seemingly, in its urgency to flee whatever it is fleeing from, it drops its tool. >You scoop it off the ground, not even slowing down, as you continue your fun little run. >”Friend! Friend! You dropped your tool! Do you want it back?! >No response, just a faster pace as some sort of response. >Is this one perhaps deaf or hard of hearing, surely I will get my answers once we reach our destination! >Soon we reach a big rocky train, and at the end of it sits a square dead metal machine >Its one of the bright cousin walker equivalent’s, How fascinating >The cousin doesn't even slow down as it approaches the transport, but quickly dives into an open hatch off the side of it. >Your pace slows as you hear the dead metal machine roar to life, it emanates a loud, vibrating growl as it wakes up. >It wastes no time and starts rolling down the road at an alarming pace. >But the cousin forgot his tool! >You wont possibly catch that transport at this pace, so as a last attempt you wave the cousins tool in the air and try to shout to get its attention. >However, as you do so, it seems your finger slips a catches a small lever on the middle of its ‘grip’ >You nearly lose your hold on the tool as a loud BANG emanates from one end of it. >Very reminiscent of that first loud sound you heard earlier. >The transport does not stop and you watch it vanish into the forest. >You stop to examine the tool further, after fiddling with a few more small levels, the tool rops open on a hinge, spitting out two empty canisters of some sort, slightly hit and emitting a faint odor. >On a piece of hardy leather connecting to the two ends of the tool, you find more of those strange canisters, but these ones are unspent, so curiously you slot them back into the now empty cylinders in the device and close it up >It locks back together with a hefty click. >You find the lever that that you hit by mistake earlier and click it again, to your delight the tool recoils back with a loud noise and an unknown force >What a curious device! I must study it further! >It was about at this time you noticed a small leakage emanating from the side of your torso. >Further investigation reveals you appear to have been stabbed by something, as there is now a small hole leaking corru. >I wonder how that got there! >You leave the trail and start heading back to your vessel with your new Bright cousin tool to go repair your mysterious injury. >You will give it back once you find that cousin again, but its eagerness to return to wherever it came from shall remain a mystery to you, for now at least.
