* ''Synopsis'': Sburb is a game, and instead of destroying the world, it has a community of devoted players - speedrunners, glitch-finders, walkthrough-writers, n00bs, you name it. One of the highest-ranked players in the game decides to write another in the line of the many walkthroughs that went after [http://archiveofourown.org/works/277924 tentacleTherapist] took the game from "forgotten" to "cult classic" status. Problem is, Sburb has an essentially vertical learning curve, and it has game balance issues. Big ones. It is left up to the player whether these issues are balanced out by Sburb's freakish and possibly superhuman attention to detail and the sheer depth of the narrative, but those who play the game believe the tradeoff to be worth it. ...Usually. |

* ''Comments'': Packed chock full of references in the naming of the abilities. Written in walkthrough-style. Full disclosure: this recommender has written [http://archiveofourown.org/works/277924 another work in the same universe] that links to all other works in this universe. Veers away from canon significantly for the god-tier ascension rules (among other things), but frequently references said canon and returns to it repeatedly for inspiration. |
