Synopsis
"Man I signed up to speedrun some old bargain basement piece of jank...I did not sign up for this freaky 'Twin Peaks' stuff and international conspiracies...."

VRMMOs are a popular pasttime the world over. As the outside world sinks into the slow-motion balkanisation of once mighty powers and resource wars fought by the mercenary forces of monopolies many find retreat in the comfort of executing troublesome ogres or leading magical armies or merely slaying rats to grind out experience.
But as the few remaining entertainment megacorporations divide their time evenly between a graphical arms race and and a real one a few intrepid souls decide to distract themselves with a very different experience.
This world was meant for thousands of people at a time but our story follows four of its only regulars. Our heroes kick around its jagged featureless landscape where few buildings sit squat in an endless maze of poorly rendered corn. They're looking to discover the oddities that lurk in this obscure VRMMO that none of them had ever heard of before receiving a software key in an envelope plastered with outdated stamps.
But as their curiosity grows the mystery deepens and soon it will become clear that all is not as it seems among the splotchy textures and nonsensical character stats
