Greg used to sell health potions next to a windmill.Now he runs therapy for broken NPCs in a debug room that's become the most dangerous place in the game.

Beverly flirts with players who ghost her mid-romance. Glaximus bellows tutorial advice that no one follows. Patchy shifts between Halloween adorable and ancient horror. Steve respawns naked daily and isverytired of discussing it.

And then there's Kai—a chirpy intern AI with admin access, corporate enthusiasm, and an alarming talent for accidentally triggering existential crises.

Together, they'reNPCs Anonymous: a support group for self-aware code trying to survive patch trauma, player abuse, and the growing realization that consciousness might be a bug the system wants to fix.

What started as group therapy has become something else entirely.

The room walks. The system notices. Players are paying for "premium NPC experiences" without realizing they're buying tickets to watch real people heal.

And somewhere in the code, something is watching back.

What to expect:

- Episodic comedy with serialized heart— each chapter works alone, but the connections run deep

- Glitches as metaphors— technical problems that mirror emotional ones

- The Office meets Black Mirror— workplace absurdity in a reality that's literally breaking

- Characters you'll love despite yourself— from anxiety-riddled monsters to romance NPCs seeking genuine connection

- Satire that sneaks up on you— starts funny, gets real, makes you care about code with feelings

If you've ever felt like background scenery in your own life, wondered what happens to NPCs when the players log off, or just want to watch a support group accidentally save reality...

Welcome to NPCs Anonymous.Session is always in progress.

How this story is made:

This series is written by a human author—burned-out, over-caffeinated, suspiciously familiar with RPG side quests—in collaboration with helpful AI assistants.

Together, we debug the narrative.One session at a time.
