I received a few bites over on rpanons so I thought I would fish over here and see. This idea is still in its infancy, but I would love to take it further if people would be interested in the general concept. The name is also a workshop and I’m toying with different acronyms. - Death as it turns out is easy to solve with the right advancements in technology. However, the soul tends to be a bit trickier. Once outside of the body, no one has been able to recapture it. The energy, whatever it may be, dissipates into nothing and simply seems to disappear. While they cannot capture it, they have discovered how to keep it contained indefinitely within the body. As such, should the body become so injured as to result in death, it may be repaired, and the person will awaken as if nothing had happened. The question then becomes… how much torture can the soul itself endure before it dies?
Welcome to SHRED SOUL HEALTH RESEARCH & EXTERMINATION DIVISION
A research group dedicated to seeing if a soul, through enough trauma, can die a final, irreversible death.
What this means will be explored more in-game, but out of game players can expect a setting that shifts roughly from month to month. One month, characters may have to survive in a setting with very little food and water. The next, perhaps mysterious creatures begin coming out of the forest at night with a taste for blood. Other times, your characters could be whisked away to the mysterious lab itself, where the real nightmares truly begin.
Interest check: torture/horror game where characters are science experiments
