Take a peek at Static’s current look!
Story Introduction
Static was a digital metaverse developed by Varia Communications, a telecommunications company in the late-mid 1990s, Varia Communications hosted the metaverse on the Myth OS operating system, an operating system developed by Monogon Industries based on “oldmyth”, Monogon’s first immersive operating system. Monogon made Myth OS for technology such as Curve-Light displays, EXXT-Cap virtual reality interfaces, and other immersive technologies. It’s important to note that, as part of Monogon’s stringent licensing agreement during the time, Monogon would oversee development of all projects built on Myth OS and essentially had a backdoor into any piece of Myth OS software. For Static, Varia used many assets from the not yet released Myth OS City, which was delayed because of unforeseen events we don’t have specific details on. However, a series of bizarre events late into a maintenance check caused Static to fail systematically. Previously, leaks from the incident surfaced, but they only included screenshots or videos and presented nothing conclusive. We have recently obtained a “demo file” from that night… What many people did not know about Static is that it recorded everything, every voice, interaction, and user. Static was recording “demo files” client-side, then uploading them to a set of servers. We have obtained many hours long “demos” of the incident that destroyed Static, everything preserved, byte for byte. Everything that you see in the mod is what occurred in Static’s final moments.

Who do you play as in STATIC?
You play as “Stetson,” a member of Varia Communications maintenance crew 12, also known as Cleanup Crew 12. You are going to investigate some issues occurring in the industrial sector alone. Varia Communications has begun to suspect Monogon of doing some shady activities within STATIC, and you’re sent to check it out. As you go deeper into the facility, you find abandoned Monogon laboratories with Melon-pods in them. The further you explore, the more the stakes rise, the more systems start to fail, and the curtain starts to fall.
