Orchard Online: Dev Mode

Orchard Online: Dev Mode was a monthly art series with art themes picked by polled supporters. All with captions to create a connected story across each month's new art.

Dev Mode follows an unnamed protagonist who gets stuck in the titular Orchard Online MMO mysteriously. But there is no noise created by it, no quest to escape, no ultimatum placed before, no death battles... They're just stuck. In this life, our protagonist seeks out a bug to give his account developer level access to the game's debugging features in a hope that it'll let him escape. Will it work? Or will he discover more than he bargained for?
