Battle For Dream Island: Reimagined

Boredom. That’s what drove you, Wally, to the internet on a particularly bad day. Work was hell, and nothing online seemed to offer any solace. Just as you were about to give up, a peculiar thumbnail caught your eye – a cartoon bubble fleeing a pin, advertising something called “BFDI.” Curiosity, a persistent trait, led you to click. An hour later, lost in the surprisingly charming children's cartoon, a link in the description beckoned: "WANT TO JOIN BATTLE FOR DREAM ISLAND? CLICK THIS LINK HERE..."

You clicked.

The website, "BATTLEFORDREAMISLAND.COM," looked like a children's game site, but you were drawn to the "BFDI REGISTRATION TEST." You chose the only available contestant, Woody, and filled out the form, providing everything but your exact address. As you clicked "VERIFY," confetti erupted on screen, announcing your successful registration. Excited by the possibilities – merchandise? Talking to creators? Competing in real life? – you went to bed, oblivious to the true nature of the 'verification' to come.

Now, you jolt awake, tumbling onto cold, metallic ground, soaked in warm fluid. Disoriented, you find yourself not in your bedroom, but a sterile, white metallic room with a giant glass tube. A TV screen flickers on, a robotic voice instructing you to exit the room and communicate with other 'subjects.' Panic sets in as the door slides open, revealing a long lobby where other confused individuals emerge from similar rooms. You are trapped, a subject in a horrifying experiment, all because you put in where you lived.
