I only saw the darkness studded with stars. Not only above , but also all around , even below . Yes, I feel like I'm floating in space, but at the sa ti, it feels like my feet are on sothing.
In that quiet darkness, I heard a voice. It wasn't music, nor was it the sounds of animals or human chatter, but rather soothing ambient sounds. Similar to the sound of the wind but softer and sweeter.
Then, a giant transparent white text appeared in front of , hovering in the sky.
HVISLAND: A VR COLONY SIM GA.
Initializing…
Minimalist design, unlike titles from VR action gas or MMORPGs that I usually play.
I felt the scenery around start to move. The stars beco long stripes. The ambient sound I heard grew faster. Ah, I feel like I'm in a warp to move between galaxies at the speed of light. It's a feature I'm used to seeing in sci-fi movies. Well, even though in the year 2146, humans haven't been able to find such technology.
By the way, this is an exciting loading sequence.
It took a few seconds, and I had 'arrived' at my destination. Now, I'm in front of a vast planet. The planet is very similar to the earth, dominated by blue. However, I did not recognize the green, cream, and even white lands there. The shape of all that is different from the lands on earth.
Is this Hvisland, the world's first artificial planet? A realm created by that Fringe Softwork company? They did say it was just a quarter of the actual earth, but I was still amazed to see it.
Other texts appeared under the title of the ga that was still floating in front of ; New Ga, Load Ga, Options, Credits, and Exit. Nothing special, just like the gas in general.
I pointed to the New Ga section, which glows right away. When I moved my finger forward a little, the ga title and the texts changed. I was now given two choices.
GA MODES:
[All character backgrounds, stats, and trait visible]
[The real Hvisland Experience. You will only find the background of each character as you play this ga. In addition, so character traits and stats will be hidden. You can unlock these traits and stats at certain events. However, so stats can only be seen by your observations.]
Well, of course, I chose the second one, if that's what the ga developers wanted us to play.
GA MODES:
[Permadeath Mode]
[Non-Permadeath Mode]
Huh? Does this an that if my character dies or there is an unpleasant event in permadeath mode, I can't load to the point in ti before those things happen? Hmmm …. I'm used to loading my ga when my character dies in a ga, primarily offline gas. Permadeath mode might be too much for .
But, maybe in this managent simulation ga, it would be more interesting if I chose sothing different? This ga is about managing multiple characters, after all. The death of one character or several doesn't matter. Even if my colonists all die, they say another character will co to start all over again.
Alright, I chose permadeath mode. Then, the words 'GA MODES' were changed.
THE COLONISTS
Beneath that texts, there were large cards displaying photos, nas, and status bars. The photos and nas keep changing while the status bars fluctuate up and down. It all happened so fast that my eyes couldn't keep up.
I pressed the stop button under the cards. The alternation seen in the cards slowed down until I finally got my three characters.
First, a young man with brown skin, long wavy hair, and eyes that are also brown. He also has a thick beard on his face.

Below the cards, an additional piece of information appears.
[The * sign indicates that your colonist has an interest in skills related to a status. With one * their learning speed for a skill will increase by 15%, and with two * their learning speed will increase by 30%]
Hey, Manu. Turns out you really like making things, huh? Why were you exiled? With your passion, you can learn to create valuable items for your tribe, right?
Well, if you weren't exiled, you wouldn't be my colonist, anyway.
I shifted to check on the second colonist. This ti it was a woman with white skin, amber eyes, and long black hair. I must admit she is so gorgeous with unique facial features. Maybe I'll take her out on a date if she's a real girl.
[Katherine 'Kat' Takahashi, 19 years old (Crashlanded)]

Flat Affect, huh? Is that what makes your face look expressionless, Kat?
I then looked at the last colonist card. He is a white man with short blond hair and blue eyes. Perhaps this third colonist is the most interesting, even beating the physical attractiveness of Kat.
[Sebastian 'Seb' Buttman, 30 years old (Naked Victim)]
STATS:
Ranged Attack: -
lee Attack: -

Myopia - Seb's eyes are nearsighted (-10% vision for long-distance).
Bruises on his face, body, right hand, and left leg (Will heal over ti without any treatnt, work speed -10%, walking speed -11%)
I'm laughing. What kind of surna is Buttman? Did his family origins in the past have anything to do with the ass? And what does that an by the naked victim? Would he appear completely naked? Why is he naked in the first place?
Ah, naked, which ans he's not carrying anything. So, maybe he will not bring any resources, unlike the other two colonists. I'm guessing that Kat and Manu will bring in the initial resources to build the colony.
Should I replace Seb? I saw the randomize button under Seb's information card. It's also under the other colonist information cards.
I thought for a mont. Ah, maybe Seb will bring sothing interesting with his nakedness. Although he is peace-loving because he can't attack, at least two of his would-be friends can do that for him. He is also very passionate about cooking. People say good food is nutrition for the heart. I've read quite a bit about this ga. The developers paid more attention to aspects of human emotion for the characters.
Therefore, I chose the continue button and passed the randomize all button at the very bottom.
Let's go. I can't wait to et my colonists!
I was so impatient that I chose the colony's location, the starting weather, and a few other things at random. The texts in front of disappeared. Then, the planet in front of spun a little, and a small red dot appeared on one of its landmasses.
The blue planet approaches fast.. No, it was my body descending towards it.
