Dark Dream Chronicle

Meet Mark Axton. He's just an average guy who's been having some strange dreams lately, along with seeing people in strange white masks all over town. He's also developed a cough and serious insomnia, so he figures maybe he should try therapy. And that's about when the metaphorical shit hits the fan.

No, wait. It's about the Communes and the Chosen living in them. They're working for the Master trying to create a utopia for humanity and crush the Rebellion at the same time.

Wait, that's not right, either. It's about Crashdown (which is presumably more or less The End of the World as We Know It) and the six that have the ability to stop it.

Alright, it's about all those things and more. It's...pretty complicated.

Dark Dream Chronicle is an ARG based on The Slender Man Mythos. The plot revolves around a rebellion against Slendy (generally known in-universe as "the Master", or, if you're really daring/stupid, "Fluffy" or "Skinnybitch"). It's very character-oriented and most of the action takes place on a chatroom.
