Zoey Terlin.
She was a named character that appeared in [Forest Nights], a game I helped design by my previous company, Nightmare Forge Studios.
The story’s premise centered around Zoey and her rich family setting off for a fun trip to a remote island. But disaster struck when their helicopter crashed en route. Stranded on an unfamiliar island filled with terrifying monsters, Zoey was left alone, her parents missing, forcing her to confront the island’s horrors in a desperate bid to find and rescue them.
In the end, the game ends on a happy note with her managing to rescue them.
There was no bad ending to the game, and that was what probably caused it not to do so well.
‘This must be some sort of joke, right? A shitty coincidence…?’
“Most of you probably know her story. After accidentally crash-landing on Sentriest Island and single-handedly taking down multiple Titans before making it out alive, she’s gone on to clear several ranked Gates since then. What can I say? She’s a star.”
Yes, so it wasn’t a coincidence.
It really was her.
The fact that they even mentioned the Titans—monsters specifically designed to exist only within the island—only confirmed it further.
‘…So, not only has the world changed, but have the characters of games I had previously worked in appeared in this world as well?’
