In case you are wondering, my status is just an abstract sort of quote I came up with for the heck of it. I'll update it every few days.— Shockman25Shockman25 is a user best known for creating one of the first Myth games and likely being the one of the first myth inspired developers. He has now retired from Roblox but still comes online once in a while.
Biography
The exact story of Shockman25's Surrealism is unknown, but during the early days of the myth, there was a common copypasta related to the game. This is the copypasta as written in 2011:
"A Very Disturbing Scene, You find yourself wandering in a large plain, with only a tree, and a mysterious statue in sight. Your screen also seems to blink every few seconds. Then, if you wait about half a minute or so, the screen turns completely black. Then a few seconds later, A strange and distorted message appears, and you hear footsteps...You know you are not alone. Then suddenly, the message disappears and you hear a music box play. The screen is now rapidly blinking. Then, terrified, you realize that the previously crouching statue is now standing. You think that it moved during a 0.1 second blick. Then, to your horror, the screen blinks again and the statue now has a knife in its hand. You try to run away but suddenly, the screen turns black again and you hear a quick yell"
Judging by this, the original game seems to have been about a living evil statue, although this likely does not represent the current day Surrealism game, as they are different.
History
Shockman25 was created back on the 16th of May, 2009. He seemed to have been somewhat active at this time, as he had gained the "Combat Initiate" badge prior to his account becoming a year old. Judging by the forums, Shockman25 became more active in 2011, when he began actively posting. This was also when he created his game "Surrealism". This game quickly gained popularity from the Roblox community and especially the Creepypasta community, which was the predecessor to the myth community. The first time that the game would be considered as a myth was in 2013, when jokerkid5898 went on to include Shockman25 in the logo for Robloxian Myth Hunters.
Later on in mid 2015, Surrealism was remade. It worked very differently but still followed the same theme as the original. The original version of the game was then reuploaded to Shockman25's alt account "Shockman252". Since this, Surrealism has become quite infamous, with jokerkid5898 calling the game the "The realest myth game at the time".
Appearance
Shockman currently wears suit (Pure Black Tie), and Suit Pants (LIMITED Christmas Tie) and the BYZGLORP Ambassador hat.
Games
Surrealism
Surrealism begins with the player standing in a large grassy field. In front of the player is a statue under a tree with a small gray block attached to it. Clicking the block will cause a text box to pop up stating "Sun and Earth and stars as they seem," Behind the tree is a large Stonehenge-like structure with a large crescent moon in the middle. If the player stands on this moon for some time, they will be teleported to an underground area with numerous trees and the same crescent moon.
Walking through the small path will lead the player to a small area separated by a stream and two trees on each side with a bridge connecting them. On one of the trees is yet another block which causes a text box to appear when clicked. For some reason, this second textbox is blank. On the wall across from the spawn is a sun with 8 black dots surrounding it. This works as a lights-out puzzle, and must be completed by filling out the entire puzzle.
After finishing this puzzle, the player will need to walk through a large maze, finding different multi colored fires. Touching the fires will extinguish them and cause them to reappear in the final room. Throughout the maze is also a floating demon which emits a purple light and kills the player if they get too close. Once the player has collected all the fires and has entered the final room, the game will progressively get more foggy until the player gets kicked.
