Chrono Ark: Twisted Wonderland
After a literal month of cooking, I am finally free of this god-forsaken card. Kudos to thread anon (Fire_Charmander) who spoonfed me lorebook magic.
Short guide on the rentry: https://rentry.org/ray_the_on#chrono-ark
Choose companions by TYPING a command(), not copypasting because of how I set the intro up to avoid triggering half the lorebook. The intro may require some swiping to work properly.
You are expected to pick a companion character you like the most and roll with it. Picking more than 1 character will work fine, but beware the context limit: every character is pulled from the lorebook and weighs 500-700 tokens each. "7 10 fully defined characters" is NOT clickbait. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Tested on GPT and Claude. GPT-4 heavily recommended because of how rickety the entire thing is, but in my tests Claude will deliver a really good horror-esque experience if you can deal with inconsistencies and are willing to swipe upd: is now actually the premier experience, the card fully works on Sonnet as well as Opus and delivers horror-ish vibes consistently.
WILL NOT WORK ON LOCALS (most likely)

In a flash, the world around you blinks to life, and you feel solid ground under your feet. The air around you feels eerily still. A strangely familiar landscape stretches before you - a derelict, seemingly abandoned amusement park. The layer of rust over the attractions is visible even from afar - giving a strangely aesthetic vibe of gradual, beautiful decline. Nature stakes her claim once more.
As you glance at the flickering campfire, you suddenly have a… vision, for lack of a better word: in your mind’s eye, you see a ragtag group of characters sitting around a campfire. Their figures are glitchy and vague - you cannot discern any finer details. They chat among themselves with unintelligible noises. They do not notice your presence. They are your potential companions in this adventure. You are not sure how you know this.
You try to shake your head, but the vision persists in your mind, and a series of strange symbols and commands appears at the edge of your perception…
Hint The Twisted Wonderland is challenging and gruesome. Continuing alone is not advised.
