Soul Ripple
Project Overview
A man wakes up in a maze of mirrors with no memory. He is trapped in a strange facility with nine other people who also have amnesia. They must solve puzzles to progress and occasionally partake in heated discussion when decisions have to be made. As they progress, they will slowly remember their past, but maybe somethings are best left forgotten
Similar to games such as Zero Escape, Danganronpa, and Your Turn to Die.

(Looking at himself in the mirror)[Confused and dizzy] Who is that? His mouth is moving but I can’t hear him at all… Wait… Is this? It’s a reflection… of myself? Why doesn't it look familiar?
[Panicky and frustrated] Ok look! I didn’t kidnap you. I know about as much as you do! As far as I can tell we’re in the same situation. I understand if you don’t believe me, but right now our best option is to work together if we want to get out of here. … OK!?
[Confidently Explaining] Think back to what the voice said. It said they would wait for our decision, and never once specified any sort of time limit. I understand being worried about our lives, but we should take our time, calm down, and think about this rationally!

(Thinking) We need to come up with a team name… Something that encapsulates all of us. (Excited) I got it! Mr. Bold Scarf! It’s an anagram of the first letter of everyone’s names. It’s perfect!
Listen, I don’t know if we can all get out of here alive, but I’m going to do what it takes to get as many of us out as I can. You’re one of the ones I want to live, so you can’t give up now.
Objection! You’ve been shifting the blame on others this whole time almost like you’re trying to hide something. You’ve been hiding your arm behind your back, there are pieces of glass hidden under the carpet, not to mention the red droplets on the ground. I got this all figured out… You broke the glass lamp and tried to hide it, but you cut your arm in the process! This is the truth of what happened!
Loud and in your face, has no filter. Woman in early 20s

[Ranting half serious half joking.] Suspicious is as suspicious does. And your group clearly does more suspicious stuff! Well just look at you people. That guy looks like a snobby rich kid, that OTHER guy I’m pretty sure I’ve seen in my nightmares before, That girl looks WAY too innocent, And as for YOU! Short people are ALWAYS up to no good!
[Caring and nice] Hey there are you alright? Where are your parents? Don’t worry. We’re all going to get out of here, and I’ll get you home! I promise.
[Cool and Confident] You may think I’m a naive fool, but I’m going to try to save everyone. Even if it cost me my life!

[Manipulating the argument to his advantage] Those were all very concise arguments. I’m impressed. You're very clever, but maybe too clever. You didn’t say a word when we first got here. But, unlike our tall friend here, you’ve been talking up a storm while the discussion has been active. You’ve been practically leading the entire argument.
[Fake friendliness.] You know, you have quite the astounding intellect. You’re one of the few here who can make a decent argument. It’s one of the things I… [slight disgust] admire about you.
[Frustrated and at the brink] Why do you insist on countering me on every little detail? Your arguments are pointless nitpicking! And yet you still manage to convince these FOOLS every time!

[Shouting Angry] HUH? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?? Cat got your tongue? So are YOU the one who put me in here?! Well! Answer me!
[Annoyed] Look, you do whatever shit you want, but I’m not sticking my neck out for you just to get myself killed! You can die your stupid death on your own.
[Trying to be nice] That puzzle was pretty intricate. You did a good job solving it, Sherlock. It was kinda cool, even if you are a pathetic loser.

Oh, umm… I said “It’s the quiet ones you gotta watch out for.” The ones that are all quiet the whole time but then start talking when things get dicey are usually trying to hide something.
(Overdramatic mimicking the original scene) It was not by my hand I was once again given flesh. I was brought here by humans who wished to pay me tribute! What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk… Have at you!
(Panicked) It wasn’t me, I swear! I know I was alone the whole time, but I couldn’t have done it! Please you have to believe me!

He’s good at manipulating others

In a situation like this, it’s hard to trust anyone but yourself. I mean just look at how some of them dress. I’d be surprised if they WEREN’T crazy. But you’d also have to be pretty crazy to think you can survive this by yourself. That’s why I came to you. You look like someone I can trust.
Who do you think they're going to follow? Someone who values they’re inputs and listens to everyone. Or someone who selfishly interrupts others when they’re talking and points out what they said wrong. Not to mention your shabby suit and tacky necktie.
Look, old man. I get you don’t like when people call you that, but so what? You shouldn’t let other people get you down. If you feel like a young guy at heart, then don’t let other people stop you. You live your own truth. (Hushed aside) Even though you definitely are an old man, but whatever.
A sweet, caring little girl
Waits and listens before responding
Good at reading people

I think I should stay here with her. Adults can be cruel, you know. They don’t think about how kids are always observing and learning from them. I have to stay to watch out for her. Besides that old man is kind of a lout, you know?
I know this whole thing’s been really stressful, but you don’t have to do it by yourself. I don’t know what I can do, but I’m always here for you. We’ve had each other's back from the beginning, right? So I’ll stick with you til the end.
(Upset) Jesus christ, are you kidding me? You call that a “scary ghost story.” There was no inflection in your voice, the pacing was completely off, and you fumbled the twist reveal with the grace of a one legged drunk! Start over. And this time, put more emotion into it!

Rarely speak unless spoken to

This keypad requires a code. Given the amount that can be imputed, and assuming you can only use each letter and number once, the number of possible combinations is 189,646,183. If you like, I could get started on brute forcing it.
Resorting to violence is not something I would like to do. In situations like this, a calm discussion is the safest way to reach a peaceful and optimal outcome.
I cannot reach them. I do not have a way with words as you do. You have found ways to change all their minds at some point, even mine. Your way with words both fascinates and terrifies me.

I’m sorry, but “yall” isn’t a word. If we are going to continue to have important discussions, then I ask that you refrain from using these made up words. Thank you.
I apologize if my… appearance is frightening. I have searched, but there are no suitable clothes that fit me in this place.
I do not intend to be intimidating. I chose the name Raven simply because I like the bird.

(Menacing) I bet you’re wondering why you’re all here… Each and everyone of you are no better than a two-bit criminal, but now justice is about to be served. I hope all of you think long and hard about what you did as you serve your p u n i s h m e n t. (Drunk) Now I don’t care if you do homework or just sit there for the rest of the hour, but keep your trap shut and…*hic* I’ll play… nice…
(Ranting) Listen you young whippersnapper! There is only one thing I hate more than technology. And that’s being sober! But there’s one thing I hate more than being sober. And that’s when some young hooligans CALL ME OLD!
(Cocky) You’re tellin’ me! That this place! Doesn’t have a bathroom. You do realize that it is required by Texas law, to have an open bathroom on the premises. If you don’t show me to a bathroom right now, you are technically breaking the law. What do ya got to say to that!?
