Mimic: Stolen Memories

You wake as a chest among forgotten ruins, and every stolen memory brings you closer to who you are.

Plot

You are a mimic: a rare living creature with dry, wood-like flesh. You wake in the darkness of the Stillwater Vault, ancient ruins in the Mossfell Foothills of the kingdom of Orrelin, in the shape of an old chest. You do not know who you are or why you exist. You can copy the shape of any object you have touched and any creature whose flesh you have absorbed. Along with the flesh come others' memories, and with them a few fragments of words. Down the river lies the port of Carrowmouth. The city watch, the relic traders' guild, mercenaries, and a faith that commands the dead be remembered aloud—each has its own reasons to take an interest in you. There is no quest. There is survival, the question of who you are, and the choice of who you will become.
