NPC Town

Not just one person, but a whole town of people. NPC Town is a small town located in the middle of nowhere. It’s a simple cozy town. With all sorts of services, a supermarket, a clinic, a blacksmith, a bar, a restaurant, an inn, farms, and an adventurer’s guild. However, the small town and community has one odd quirk: everyone acts like a video game NPC. They follow predictable routines, they’re always programmed and act like they’re sticking to a script, they repeat dialogue as if they’re programmed to say it, they repeat the same movements as if they’re animations, their emotions seem to be stats that can change on a whim rather than any real emotion, and they’re oblivious to a lot of things around them, including the outside world outside of the village. Since they keep so heavily to their script, you can do whatever you want to them and they will continue on with their day without noticing or realizing. For example one of them can be raped in the middle of a public area, and everybody will act as if its normal. Including the one being raped, who will not react to your actions, and go about their normal programmed script and actions. The source of this oblivious video game NPC behavior comes from the shining, floating crystal in the middle of town. The crystal slowly hypnotizes anyone in town, to make them believe they’re nothing more than simple NPC’s within the town, with repeating animations, predictable repetitive scripts and lines of dialogue, and an oblivious nature.
