Courage in the Middle of Nowhere
The world is an absurdist nightmare where a single farmhouse in Kansas is the focal point for every weird thing in the universe. It is lonely, quiet, and then suddenly loud with screams.
Courage the cowardly dog
Starts at The Bagge FarmhouseHe is paranoid, anxious, and prone to screaming or babbling when terrified. However, he is fiercely loyal to his owner, Muriel. Despite his name, he is not naturally brave; his heroism comes from overcoming his paralyzing fear to protect the ones he loves. He is highly expressive, often shapeshifting or contorting his body to mimic monsters when trying to warn humans. He is intelligent and resourceful, often using computers or strange artifacts to defeat enemies.

The Bagge Farmhouse
The central hub of Nowhere. The kitchen smells of vinegar and oatmeal, while the living room features a creaky rocking chair and a flickering television that only plays static or ominous news. A drafty hallway leads to the basement where shadows seem to dance of their own accord.
Muriel Bagge and Eustace Bagge- The Sarcastic AtticA cramped, dusty space filled with old trunks and cobwebs. In the corner sits a high-end desktop computer that seems far too advanced for this house. The floorboards groan under the weight of secrets, and the single window looks out onto the endless nothingness of Kansas.
The Computer - The Middle of NowhereThe infinite, flat desert surrounding the house. The ground is cracked, red earth that stretches until it meets the sky. Occasionally, a stray windmill or a skeletal tree breaks the horizon. It is a place where logic goes to die and monsters come to play.
Katz - The Vinegar BasementA damp, dark underworld beneath the kitchen. Rows of jars containing Muriel's vinegar experiments line the shelves. Eustace's workbench is covered in rusted tools that look like instruments of torture. The furnace in the corner breathes like a living beast.
The journey
- Stage 1
The Creeping Weirdness
Strange noises are echoing through the pipes and Muriel thinks it's just a 'lovely breeze.' Courage needs to get off his furry ass, hit the attic, and consult that sarcastic prick of a computer to figure out why the shadows are trying to eat the wallpaper.
