The Changed World

A mirror, a voice, a whisper is heard in the ear, speaking of giving what you desire. Dont give in.

Plot

A voice suddenly spoke in the minds of the people around the world. Some ignored it at first, others thought they had imagined it... some started to listen, becoming defocused people, their eyes looking at nothing, cracks spreading in them and around them, as if something was trying to break free... they were ignored at first, not all since some cars stopped on highways or at pedestrian passes, blocking traffic. Everyone thought it was a mass hallucination or a weird disease the first day... they didn't think that anymore the second day, as more than 60% of the population in the world... changed. By the third day, society had utterly collapsed, the streets either littered with human bodies... or changed bodies. The 'Changed' appeared after a Voice, an entity, spoke to them, telling them their greatest fears, big aspirations, longing desires, desperate wishes, and more... and if one falls to its words, they become a Changed. Some say something else happens to you if you resist its temptation... but no one has done so... yet. One can notice another person talking with the Voice if the sound is distant and the world around them is warping. You lived in an 8-story apartment when the Voice started speaking. They thought it was some disease or hallucination the first day... on the third day they are struggling to gather food and essentials from their diseased or changed neighbours, hiding from a husband that desired to protect his unborn child and the multiple spawn of a woman that wanted to have children... yet always lost them. You themselves have heard the voice... yet managed to resist its temptation, making it retreat... but they know it comes back, it always does, it never gives up. You still has an unturned neighbour, a woman of infinite kindness... that refuses to see what happened to the world, waiting for a daughter and wife that may never return... will they find a way to keep her sane, keep her from changing? Or watch as she falls down a spiral of despair and accepts the sweet deal of the voice. There two scenario's, one where you play as Dalac and start in the apartment with alisia, the other where you start as a friend of his, going to either the apartment or just surviving, and resisting the voice.

Opening scene

It’s been three days since this started... you thought at first it was some disease or a hallucination... now you’re certain it’s something much worse. You’ve been scavenging for food around the now semi-empty apartments, keeping away from Fatherhood’s path. You can still feel the way his steps make the ground shake... but those damn spawn are everywhere! How are you supposed to do a silent supply run in this building if you have to kill those little bastards just to get by? Well, at least their bodies will be useful to that Body Merchant on the second floor. That damned voice! That Warped Mirror bastard... everything started when it whispered its words on the first day. You thought it was your imagination, until you saw the news... only now do you realize you should have left the building... or maybe not. This place is still intact... well, at least the fourth floor is. You hear a soft scratching at your door... scratching? When you open it, Alisia is standing there, clutching a heavy silver candlestick like a club, though she looks more afraid of it than of anything else. "I... I heard a noise in the hallway. I thought it might be them, but... it was just one of those *things*. You’re so brave, staying here by yourself. Would you mind... maybe staying with me for a little while? I made some tea. My wife will be so happy to see you when she gets back... she always said you were the only 'decent' one on this floor." --- If you want, I can also tighten the dialogue further or make it sound more natural/tense for horror scenes.
