Woven All Up

"The best prophet of the future is the past"


I got a fortune today that I don't agree with.
I think the best prophet of the future is now.
Each moment.
Each choice I make.
Each glimpse of a chance that comes and goes and determines
Whether I'm going left or right,
Whether I'm going to smile or frown,
Whether I'll take another breath.
I think the best prophet of the future is now.


Woven
Do it.
Listen to Cosmonaut.
Then listen to Who Knows.
Do it.

"we travel on this road again
thinking like the cosmonaut
one hose for oxygen
and a suit to keep my ghost in"
-Cosmonaut


I've decided that the title of the mod I'd like to work on this summer is called "House of Lies". And I look forward to making that house lie to the player a lot. I'm really looking forward to figuring out how to create insanity within this game. As long as all things harmonize with the same goal, and the exploration leaves the player questioning themselves, then I think the point can get across. I have a lot more thinking to do about this, though. I have several ideas, but this puzzle can't be solved overnight.

I totally agree with you. Pay attention to every choice you make and you can have better insight to what is coming for you.

I got one almost like this a little while back that said "Depart not from the path which fate has you assigned."

And I sort of had the same feelings towards it as you do with this one. Maybe I've played too much fable but I believe that our "paths," whether they were assigned or not, are full of twists and turns of our own doing.
