The desert; a vast, empty pit of likely death and scalding heat, and overall a curious place to call home. But home it is to the some, the many who have found the depths of the desert, the endless labyrinthine tunnels: dark, dripping, blind corridors, twisting and twining under feet and through mind, confusing to both eye and brain, and tuning your gut to let it twang as you peer around yet another corner, dreading what might be lying dormant or frighteningly awake in the shadows of the next torturing step. Strength does not matter in these mesmerizing patterns of tunnels, and few have the will to brave them without fleeing back to the surety of a glaring sun and circling carrion-feeders.

Starvengers
Death and decay have rusted away at a world once prosperous; and now only the scattershot remnants of civilization speckle the tortured land, striving to maintain their own tortured existence-helpless. Hapless. Hopeless. As a whole planet-indeed, whole star systems-silently ready themselves for the ultimate plunge into the midnight gulfs that once propped them against the cosmic background, a tiny undercurrent threatened to upheave the prophetic vision that is entropy-slipping past those immutable laws that keep those sidereal streams in them heavens a-flowing. An insignificant spark of life, unassuming, forsaken amid the refuse of mankind-destined to change all of their destinies. This is its ballad.
●スムーカック● (The smoorkacb)
If you're not careful and no-clip out of reality in wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, and endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you........The Smoorkacb A twisted reflection of reality where logic collapses and survival is everything. Endless levels stretch infinitely-some eerily familiar, others nightmarishly surreal. The Displaced are those trapped in this chaotic labyrinth, adapting to its dangers or falling to The Corrupted, monstrous entities born of the realm itself. Scattered Anomalies offer fleeting hope or devastating consequences, while cryptic rules dictate life and death: Never linger too long. Light wards off the darkness-most of the time. Beware of doors; they don't always lead to safety. In the Smoorkacb, escape is uncertain, and the greatest danger might be losing yourself.
Whisper of Sands
In the heart of a harsh desert lies an oasis protected by the Jakari and Sandwalkers, two tribes divided by tradition. When a hidden city awakens, threatening to unleash its destructive power, Amira, a Jakari warrior, and Liara, a Sandwalker scholar, must forge an unlikely alliance. Their perilous journey into the city's ruins reveals a forgotten past and the key to controlling the power source. By deciphering ancient rituals and learning to communicate with the desert's energy, they establish a fragile peace. Years later, new whispers emerge from the forgotten canyons, hinting at another slumbering force. Amira and Liara lead a new expedition, encountering a colossal creature, a protector of a dormant power source disrupted by their ancestors. Through understanding and diplomacy, they restore the balance and solidify their role as guardians of the desert. Generations pass, and the once-small oasis blossoms into a thriving city-state, Whisperwind. The current Keeper of Whispers, Elara, grapples with a new challenge - whispers emanating from a vast, unknown desert beyond their borders. These whispers, unlike the familiar warmth of the desert, are cold and metallic, a desperate plea from a dying civilization. Through tireless research and a newfound understanding of the whispers, they discover a way to offer aid, bridging the energy signature of the dying civilization with their own spring. The whispers fade, replaced by a comforting silence. Whisperwind stands as a testament to the power of communication and the delicate balance between humanity and the unknown. The Jakari and Sandwalkers, now united as the Keepers of Whispers, face a future where they are not just protectors of their own desert, but guardians of a universe teeming with the potential for both destruction and understanding.Complete
