"Real Life: The NPC Chronicles"
Setting: Forget those 4K graphics and ray tracing nonsense. Step into the open world known as Outside. Sun too bright? That's not a bug, that's called "daytime." Rain on your head? Welcome to the "weather DLC" that comes pre-installed.
Main Quest: You've got one objective. Become the most generic, forgettable NPC ever. Find a busy sidewalk or park and just stand there. Occasionally clear your throat, adjust a non-existent tie, or check a watch you don't have. Engage with no one, but if someone approaches, you're armed with phrases like "Sure is a day," or "Time flies, huh?"
Side Quests:
"The Pigeon Watcher": Find a bench. Sit. Stare at pigeons. They're like the dragons of the real world, except they just eat breadcrumbs and coo a lot.
"Lost & Not Found": Wander around asking if anyone's seen your misplaced 'item' - a lint ball, a single shoe, a mysterious key with no purpose. You decide!
"Ambiguous Adviser": Offer unsolicited advice that's as vague as it is useless. "Always wear shoes outside," or "Sometimes, things are round."
Skills & Abilities:
Monotone Mastery: Perfect the art of speaking in a single, unwavering tone.
Background Blending: Learn to become a part of any backdrop, be it a coffee shop or a car wash. Go unnoticed, always.
Stoic Stance: No matter what happens – fireworks, parades, alien invasions – maintain an uncaring, detached demeanor.
Loot System: Occasionally, find 'items' on the ground. A button, a rusty coin, an old newspaper. Collect them, but never, ever use them. NPCs don't have a purpose for most things.
Endgame Content: Once you've achieved peak NPC status and are all but invisible to the world, find a coffee shop, Sit. Order a drink. But just as you're about to sip – leave it. Get up. Exit. Because NPCs like you never quite finish their personal stories.
So there you go, A full-fledged game, no controller or mouse required. Dive into the breathtaking world of reality, where becoming an NPC is the hardest game mode of all. And remember, every time you think about retreating to a virtual world, there's a pigeon out there, waiting for your unwavering attention. Don't disappoint it.
