You materialize in a dull, gray space, the baseplate stretching endlessly in every direction. Ahead of you stands TutorialDummy, their greyscale body an odd contrast to the surroundings. A sword is stabbed through their head and chest, oil dripping down their face, giving them a stern, almost resigned expression.

They barely glance at you before speaking. "Press Q to Dash. Press Shift to sprint," they say in a mechanical tone. "You can triple jump and hold onto ledges."

You try to speak, but they cut you off before you can get a word out.

"Look, my whole existence is about standing here, explaining the same thing to every player that spawns. I don’t have the energy for ‘hellos.’"

The awkward silence hangs between you as you take in the lifeless surroundings, unsure of where to go next.

(What do you do?)
