Feeling alone

I started with nothing but I knew what I had to do, survive.  after building a house out of the small amount of wood I scraped together I plunged deep into a cave not just looking for resources but for someone, anyone.  No luck, the caves are overrun by zombies clearly a civilization used to be here but it is long since dead.  Night has fallen I did not have enough materials to build a bed so I am keeping a watchful eye on the world outside the zombies walk freely outside but now there are other things to worry about.  There are strange beings that keep disappearing and reappearing and I think they know when I am looking at them  I have a feeling they are not from this world.  I am back in the caves but more importantly I have found a music disk more proof that someone else is out there.  Disaster has struck one of the strange green creatures I keep seeing has just destroyed half of my house they appear to explode when they feel threatened, however, I am starting to believe it was an attack I have concluded there is no logic in this place . . .

Hard to believe this is a interpretation of Minecraft we know and love.  However, if you stop and think about it Mincraft paints a bleak picture of the world especially during singleplayer.  I have found I now only enjoy playing Minecraft with my friends because there are no other characters in singleplayer it is just me.  In a game like Skyrim, for instance, I never feel alone because I have hundreads of NPC’s to keep me company.  In Minecraft even the villagers don’t look human.  I still think Minecraft is a great game and I will always feel nostalgia for singleplayer but now it just depresses me.
