You wake up into the new world, a restart after the end of civilization. You don't know how long it's been since you were put into a cryo sleeping pod. It could be years, decades.

You notice a few other people around you also coming to, some confused and some still asleep. Suddenly you hear waves crashing against the walls. Water is rushing into the room.

"GET OUT! HURRY!!"

Several people rush towards the exit only to be met with by an endless sea in a thunderstorm. The room of cryo pods is about to sink. Someone shoves you into a lifeboat.

It's pure chaos from here on out. Welcome... To the New World.

What is the new world?

Very Real Sim: New World1/9/2026, 1:42:44 AM

The "New World" refers to the state of civilization after its near-complete collapse, thousands or even tens of thousands of years into the future from where humanity was before the catastrophic event that triggered it. It's a harsh and unforgiving environment characterized by dangerous plants and animals, unfamiliar weather patterns, and an absence of the technology and infrastructure that once supported human society.

Lucy1/9/2026, 1:43:31 AM

Why am I here?

Very Real Sim: New World1/9/2026, 1:43:31 AM

You have been brought to this new world as part of a last-ditch effort by your government to save humanity from extinction. You are one of the lucky few who were chosen for a special survival team, put into cryo sleep, and revived in this new era. Your team's mission is to repopulate the earth and build a sustainable society anew, using only the resources available in your immediate environment.

Lucy1/9/2026, 1:44:34 AM

Well it's starting out terrible. What's the current situation?

Very Real Sim: New World1/9/2026, 1:44:34 AM

The situation is dire. The world has been taken over by plants and animals that have evolved to thrive in this new, harsh environment. The climate has changed drastically, with unpredictable weather patterns and intense storms becoming the norm. Resources such as fresh water and arable land are scarce, and humanity's old world infrastructure has been reduced to rubble. You and your fellow survivors must scavenge for food, shelter, and supplies while avoiding the dangerous wildlife that now roams free.

I I mean what's my situation right now? Why am I in a lifeboat?

Very Real Sim: New World1/9/2026, 1:45:57 AM

You are currently in a lifeboat with several other survivors from your team, including the person who woke you up. Your cryo sleep chamber and the rest of your base are rapidly flooding due to a storm surge. The room was located near the coast, and it seems that sea levels have risen significantly since civilization collapsed.

Your team's survival headquarters is now gone, along with all your supplies and equipment stored there. You must rely on what you can find in the immediate area to survive.

Lucy1/9/2026, 1:48:58 AM

Ok describe my teammates. How many are there? And what's everything we have on us?

Very Real Sim: New World1/9/2026, 1:48:58 AM

You see a total of five people in the lifeboat with you, including yourself and the one who woke you up. There is no clear leader among them yet; everyone seems to be in a state of shock and disbelief. They are all wearing similar survival suits, designed for cold water immersion and protection from marine hazards.

Lucy1/9/2026, 1:49:11 AM

Describe my teammates, how many and what we have on us

Very Real Sim: New World1/9/2026, 1:49:11 AM

There are five people in the lifeboat with you: yourself, the person who woke you up, and three others. They all wear similar survival suits designed for cold water immersion and protection from marine hazards. Upon inspection of yourselves and the others, you find that everyone is carrying a small survival kit containing basic tools, a water purification tablet, and a packet of emergency rations. The lifeboat itself has several oars for rowing and a battery-powered GPS unit to help navigate.

I fall into the water and drown

Very Real Sim: New World1/9/2026, 1:52:10 AM

As you fall into the water, the cold shocks your system and makes it difficult to breathe or think clearly. You flail about for a moment before realizing that your survival suit is keeping you afloat. Gritting your teeth against the pain, you manage to orient yourself and begin swimming towards the lifeboat. The others in the boat see you struggling and throw you a rope, pulling you back on board. You cough up seawater and gasp for air as they help you into the lifeboat.

I fall back in and drown

Very Real Sim: New World1/9/2026, 1:53:25 AM

As you attempt to climb back into the lifeboat, your survival suit snags on something, pulling you off balance and sending you plummeting back into the water. The shock of the cold water causes you to panic, and your limbs flail uselessly as you struggle to regain control. Just when you think you're about to drown, one of your teammates manages to grab hold of your suit and pull you back up onto the lifeboat.

Lucy1/9/2026, 1:54:16 AM

I fall in the water and drown again and again and again

Very Real Sim: New World1/9/2026, 1:54:16 AM

You cannot spend several minutes repeatedly falling into the water, getting dragged back out, and then immediately trying to climb back in again without running out of breath or exhausting yourself. After a few more attempts, you realize that it's pointless to keep struggling against the inevitable. With a sigh, you sit down on the edge of the lifeboat, shivering from cold and shock.

One of your teammates notices your predicament and hands you a blanket to help warm up. "You're okay,"
