Some of these wallpapers are just pretty images, others may have a story behind them. Some of those stories are intense, emotional, have a personal meaning (and I might simply not share the associated wallpapers) but others only go skin-deep.
This is one of the latter 😇 Ever heard of the game Tabula Rasa?
Trailer
Even though you can't play the game anymore, it did leave behind a great introduction trailer.
Papers
First some wallpapers...
Game
The game itself wasn't bad at all, perhaps a little monotonous (like many Asian MMOs tend to be). It was designed (in part) by Richard Garriott, developed by Destination Games and published by NCSoft (better known for their other games such as Guild Wars).
The game required a monthly subscription, and didn't attract enough players to survive. There was some ensuing nasty business between Garriott and NCSoft but that's irrelevant to the game.
(There's some additional information on history and development here.)
If you look at those graphics... yeah, well... Even Guild Wars 1 looked better. Nevertheless, it was a good attempt, and I wonder how it would look with today's technology. Why not bring it to a PS5?
Two weeks of free fun
I enjoyed playing it for the final few weeks, when it was temporarily free to play. (I played it on a Dell XPS, the same machine you can spot in some in-game shots.)
Concept
The concept (earth invaded, humans escaping through portals set up by aliens and earth governments, some humans discovering they have a legacy of alien superpowers) would make a great book / television series IMHO.
How risky would it be to steal the concept? Hmm....
