The Concourse

~43 turns4 endings

The premise

You wake on a climbing funicular with one thing left: your name, Cade. It delivers you to the Concourse — a lamplit railway station buried deep beneath the earth, run by teenagers who all arrived the same way. By day, Linewalkers chalk-map the shifting tunnels of the Web, hunting a way to the surface. By night, the third rail hums alive, and the Coilhounds come.

Four endings to reach — where the thread leads is yours to decide.

How it opens

Lamplight rises past the window, rung by rung, until the funicular shudders still and the doors fold open on marble. A station hall wide as a cathedral: oil lamps strung between iron pillars, green light spilling from platforms terraced with growing things, rust streaking the walls like old water. Teenagers set down tools and turn — twenty, thirty of them, every face your age, not one of them familiar. Not even your own hands are familiar. You have a name, Cade, and nothing to hang it on. …

The story picks up from here — start a save and it answers to you.
