    Starting to think the VR one is a more macabre way to describe The Amazing Digital Circus and/or I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream (I really need to read the story). Trapped in a virtual world without any knowledge of the goings on in reality, including time dilation.

      In regards to I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, they aren’t in a virtual reality , at least not based on the descriptions given. It seems that the machine is just so powerful that it can keep those it is tormenting alive indefinitely.

      • Appreciate the context. I have the PDF of the short story, so I’ll be reading that soon, and I may take a crack at the PC game as well. I just recall how much Gooseworx utilized the narrative of IHNMAIMS and plopped it into the world of C&A. Curious to see what these last two episodes bring. Ep7 was something.
