Plot
The innocent have nothing to hide. Observe. Contain. Control.
Paroxysm is a free persistent multiplayer text RPG set in a modern supernatural dystopia. When the war ended, a gate to Hell opened. Almost half of humanity died before the gates closed. What remains lives under the Cortex, one world government that endures through surveillance, containment and control.
The supernatural is real, and the Cortex keeps a list. Vampires, werewolves and demonborn carry natures that hunger, listen and inherit powers nobody authorized. Hide one, use one, or hunt one as a Cortex enforcer. Player-led societies, factions and territory, PvP with consequences, and AI Champions that compete in events. Paroxysm is a world built by its people.
