SEED
Roy Miller launches SEED on his phone.
Seed (or SEED) is the game that creates the setting and struggles during the events of PROLEGOMENON, as well as being the source of Albus, Olivia, and The Light.
The game's functions as seen in PROLEGOMENON are heavily modified and buggy, being considered an unusual state for the game that leaves it in worse condition than its typical play. It was originally designed by the mimeo, a species from another universe who were aware of The Garden and wished to give it offerings. These offerings were sessions of Seed, where champions would be chosen to play against each other and claim The Light. The Big U was so interested in this that they granted the game the capability of actually spawning universes and offering power boosts to winners of these games.
In PROLEGOMENON, there are plenty of additions that Cherry Thaxton and Amada Trejo patched in that make it difficult to ascertain the game's true mechanics. However, the following is known:
- The players always spawn in something described as a pocket universe.
- There are villagers, which are friendly NPCs, who interact with the players.
- The players must do quests for these NPCs, who then give the players material and crafting recipies to obtain new items.
- Their ultimate goal is to accomplish their land's quest, gain access to the center of their land, and claim The Light.
The mimeo's play session was apparently normal, with the exception of The Light failing to spawn at all. This is because their game was unsanctioned.
AMITY
Roy is spammed with messages from Cherry through Amity.
Amity is the chat client the players use to communicate with each other, as well as the communication channel the mimeo use to contact them while they're in the game.
It's a personalized chat client, designed specifically by Cherry. This means that users are hand-picked, and appear to only be Cherry's immediate friend group. The mimeo claim it was easy to acquire accounts in Amity despite this via exploiting security bugs in both the player's Seed game as well as Amity.
The chat client is designed after the real life chat platform, Discord.
