Guilt

A mysterious young woman wakes up in the underground, but this isn't her first rodeo. After reconnecting with her friends, she chooses the player name 'Koala' and her journey begins - for what feels like the 1000th time. When 'Koala' finds her human friend - a young child who she has yet to learn the name of - things aren't quite right at first. They both try to shrug it off and focus on breaking the barrier to free their friends. However, as memories of a darker timeline start to come back to Koala, she suspects the answer to their conundrum might not be so simple. Hints start to pile up that there may be an extra passenger hijacking their souls, but is this strange entity to blame or is it trying to help them?Guilt is a sort of Alternate Timeline where The Player becomes a fully diegetic character. Inspired by the old "Who's to blame for bad choices?" days of the fandom, this fic will point its finger at everyone. The answer may be not so cut and dry when The Player isn't aware of her own role in the universe.
