Hello boys and girls! Welcome to Apocalypse Royale! I have gathered you from all over the world, only the best to participate in my game…
Apocalypse Royal is a "Survival Game" which you will be participating in. Yes, you. Not controlling a character from behind a screen. No, you yourself will be the character, forced to survive and fight. And yes, if you die, you will die in real life.
The objective is to obviously win. The prize for winning is eternal fame and endless money. You will never have to work again after this ordeal. There's a catch however; only a select few may win. Let me explain.
There will be many other players, thousands spread across the large map. You may choose to become a lone wolf, but I suggest you to team up with other players to obtain an advantage over other players. A single player, or a single team may win the game. You can kill every person you encounter, but that might be to your disadvantage as time goes on.
Since this is a "game", this is an open world map. As the map is an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean, I suppose you know the limits of the map. There will be weapons, food and supplies scattered all over the map which you may utilize. They will be restocked throughout the game, which I will get into detail a bit later.
There are also "NPCs" in this "game". Well, when I say NPCs I mean non-player humans, who are here to make the game more interesting. You may do whatever you like to them. They are grouped up into several groups. The first group are the "marauders" or "looters". They are in the same position you are in, except that they cannot win the game. They are here to make your life even more of a hell than it already is. You are advised to kill them, as they get stronger and larger in numbers as the game progresses.
The Second group are the "villagers". As implied, they populate the villages, towns and cities throughout the map. You may trade, kill, or gain their friendship. The third group are the "militia", who are here to protect the villagers.
The final group are the Apocalypse Royale Wardens, who will be deployed to make things interesting when there is a lack of activity for quite some time. There are no repercussions to killing staff of Apocalypse Royale.
To make things a bit easier for you players you will all be issued a "game watch". This watch will be very important, so listen up. This watch will show you the very core of the "game". With the touchscreen you will be able to view several screens. I will explain each and everyone right now.
The first screen is a basic screen for the game, detailing the time and amount of players. There will also be a log for killed players, so you can keep up with the latest updates.
The second screen is your profile. This will entail your basic information, how much health you have, how much food, water and rest you will need, and it will also show you if you have any diseases, broken bones and any other afflictions you have.
The third screen is the map. You will be shown with a red dot, and with the GPS you can even pinpoint precise destinations on your map. They will also show supply drops made by airplanes and helicopters. You may shoot down said planes and helicopters, if you have the means. Once again, there are no repercussions for killing staff. The map will also show certain players who will be earmarked for a manhunt, where for a certain number of days his every move will be located on the map. The manhunt is for either everybody or only a certain people. There will be large rewards for the players manage to successfully pull off the manhunt, or to the player who survives the manhunt either by living through all the days or by killing all pursuers.
The fourth screen is your inventory. This will show everything that you currently have on you.
The fifth screen is the index. This will entail information and descriptions for all guns, weapons, equipment, and vehicles.
Oh, I almost forgot the most important part! There are people called "Patrons" who control the game. It is vital to appease them if you want to gain an advantage. To gain favors with the patrons, you will have to act ruthlessly against other players and the "npcs", for the patrons are looking for an exciting experience. But don't act too ruthless; it may disgust the them. Gaining the favors of patrons will reap heavy rewards; you may obtain special equipment for you and your friends, or the game might be tailored to aid you in some way. The patrons may also have personal requests for certain players, who may choose whether to accept them or not. These requests will be indicated when your game watch begins to blink red. If you choose to accept, you will be rewarded, but if you refuse, depending on the patron consequences may be severe.
Yes, this may be a lot to digest. And to put it bluntly, most of you will die. You will be either kill or be killed, forgotten by the world as just entertainment. But that is why you must achieve victory. For everlasting fame, money and glory.
Oh, I know all of you fairly well, as I was the one who chose every single one of you to be a part of the Apocalypse Royale. Since I feel that not introducing myself will be impolite, I shall do so right now. I am the head organizer, director and lead patron of Apocalypse Royale organization. But since that is too formal of a title, you can just call me "Grandpa Romulus".
And with that, I wish you all the luck in the world. Don't die, and let the game begin!
