auto_stories OVERVIEW
Game Overview
This is a first-person psychological narrative game. Your choices shape the story, reveal the heroine's past, and open a path toward the people around her.
Story
Noele is a police officer whose biggest monthly expense is treating her chronic neck pain at a massage parlor.
Late in the fall, a strike erupts at a toy factory. Cursed dolls begin appearing in an abandoned tower…
And a reunion with her ex-girlfriend completely upends her life.
A lecturer from a no-name college.
A blind massage therapist.
A glamorous entrepreneur.
Which one of them is The Flayer?
Main Characters
Noele *First-Person POV*

Her day-to-day work ranges from mediating neighbor disputes to dealing with murders, arson, and even AI dogs getting stuck in trees.

Lecturer in experimental art, Noele's current boyfriend. Gentle and easygoing.
His biggest worries are publishing, getting promoted... and navigating his relationship with Noele.
Will
Massage therapist at AAA Massage Parlor. Visually impaired.
Thinks in odd, unpredictable ways.
Seems to have nothing more than a straightforward client-therapist relationship with Noele.
Grace
Works in new media. Noele's ex—and a mother.
Confident, smart, ambitious.
Claims she calculated Noele's misfortune this year using her birth chart, and she seems interested in getting back together.
Flint *Unavailable Route
Freelance writer. Noele's college friend—though that changed later.
Dog *Loyal Companion
Noele's partner at the station. A personalized AI canine who has a knack for picking up on the strangest things people say.

Player Advisory
Neck Stiffness is not a lighthearted AVG. It includes the following content, which may be uncomfortable for some players. Please review before playing:
The story is set in an oppressive survival environment. These depictions are intended to trigger psychological conflicts within the characters through extreme scenarios; they serve a specific narrative purpose and do not represent normative social values.
This work has no intention of exploring grand narratives, nor does it purport to represent any specific group or collective.
Flawed Characters: Every major character carries emotional burdens and personal biases. Their choices may be irrational or deviate from typical expectations.
LGBTQ+ Themes: The story includes diverse expressions of gender identity, sexuality, and relationships.
Character Views ≠ Developer Views: All dialogue, behavior, and worldviews depicted in the game represent the characters—not the development team.
Mental Health Depictions: Includes portrayals of anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional distress, which may trigger PTSD.
No Traditional “Happy Ending”: Relationships tend to be complex, ambiguous, and difficult to define.
Religious Elements: Contains references to religious beliefs and practices.
Fictional Setting: This work is purely fictional and bears no connection to any real person, group, or organization.
If any of the above may cause discomfort, please consider carefully before continuing the game.
