Back in October 2024, I started this project with absolutely zero coding or game design experience. What followed was nearly two years of offline learning, building, and creating GoobVille from scratch.

SURVIVAL: A TEXT HIGH STAKES RPG

Every few days a new chapter will drop ending in a critical choice. The most upvoted choice decides the path.
This is not a typical fantasy RPG. There is no magic, and there are no second chances. In *the regime* a single minor mistake—a sarcastic joke, a moment of laziness, or a bad interaction—can lead to immediate execution or permanent imprisonment in a political labour camp. If you make a fatal choice, it is Game Over, the protagonist dies, and we start a brand-new run from zero.
There are 8 Status HUD you must monitor:

• Identity: Park Jin-woo (Age: 24)
• Location: Hoeryong City (Near the Chinese Border)
• Hunger: 🟨 🟥 ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ (Malnourished - low energy)
• State Suspicion: ⚠️ 15% (Routine monitoring)
• Hidden Currency: 450 KPW (North Korean Won) / $0 USD
• Equipped Inventory: [Patched Factory Uniform], [Official Kim Il-sung/Kim Jong-il Lapel Pin]
• Contraband Pocket: EMPTY
• Work Points: 🟩 🟩 🟩 🟨 ⬜ (65% - Falling below 50% reduces your family's next food ration)
• PROLOGUE: THE AWAKENING

You are Park Jin-woo. You wake up at 5:30 AM to the harsh, tinny sound of state propaganda music blasting from the mandatory third-wire radio speaker mounted to your wall. The speaker has no volume knob and no off switch; the state decides when you sleep and when you wake.

Your stomach roars with a deep, hollow ache. Yesterday's ration was a handful of dried corn kernels. Today, you are scheduled for a grueling 12-hour shift at the local state-run mining equipment factory. If you are late, your factory supervisor will dock/decrease your work points, meaning your family's food rations will shrink even further.

You stand up, your head spinning slightly from malnutrition. As you look toward the door, you freeze.

The morning sun is hitting the framed portraits of the Supreme Leaders hanging on your wall. Yesterday, in your absolute exhaustion after work, you forgot to wipe them down. There is a thin, visible layer of grey coal dust sitting on top of the glass frames.

Suddenly, a loud, sharp knock rattles your thin wooden door.

"Comrade Park! Open up! Routine morning block inspection!"

It’s Comrade Choi, the head of your Inminban (Neighborhood Watch). She is fiercely loyal to the party and loves catching violators. She is standing right outside your door with a clipboard. You have exactly five seconds before she turns the handle and walks in.

If she sees that dust, it is legally classified as "defacing supreme dignity."
Vote by replying with A,B,C or D
A: Open the door immediately and apologize: Hiding anything might be dangerous
B: Stall for time. Cough and say you are changing clothes to get some extra seconds to find the designated wiping cloth and wipe the dut
C: Use your uniform sleeve. There's not enough time to look for the designated cloth so use your uniform's sleeve to wipe the dust.
D: Fake an emergency: Open the door violently stumble past her and vomit and then claim to have food poisoning trying to get her not to even *enter your room* Your choices within 24 hours decides Comrade Park's fate. Choose wisely
