The brilliance of the night sky provides an escape from the stresses of everyday life. To Twilight Sparkle, they've become her home away from home.

Now it's a home that never stops calling her name.

Saturday nights are a time for kicking back and enjoying a round with your friends. Or, in the case of Twilight Sparkle, getting away from them to unwind with whiskey.

However, when self-proclaimed D-list celebrity Brandy Dick begins to pester her, she realizes that unwinding is off the table.

Cue the music.

Inspired by the story of Jon Lovitz slamming Andy Dick's head onto a bar table after mocking the death of Phil Hartman.

The world renowned French game designer David De Gruttola—better known as David Cage—has decided to spice things up by bringing a new spin on the world-wide phenomenon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Featuring the colorful, cute characters of the Hasbro series with the dark, complex themes known to make up Quantic Dream's video games, David Cage Presents: My Little Pony is a story that will charm and shock you to the very core.

Twilight Sparkle was never one to settle for anything less than the best. So when an assignment called for her to give life to an inanimate object, it was only natural she would do so in the best-worst way possible.

A crossover with Borderlands.

Within the confines of her bedroom, Princess Cadance reminisces on the memories she's shared with Shining Armor.

An extra special thank you to my ever supportive girlfriend, HPBudgecraft who did the cover art for this story.

Celestia and Luna watch a strange videotape that they receive as a gift. However, it all goes downhill after the phone rings and an ominous threat is given to them.

"You're going to die in seven days..."

Now under the curse of Sadako Yamamura, Princess Celestia, alongside Twilight Sparkle, must figure out how to stop the curse. To do so, they must look into who sent the videotape: a pony by the name of Samara.

Meanwhile, despite being told by Twilight that all will be fine and that she has a plan, Princess Luna finds herself being rapidly consumed with an ever growing fear of death. And with each passing day, she finds herself slowly descending into a deep depression.

The clock is now ticking for the curse to be stopped before Equestria loses its rulers, and inevitably more as the videotape continues to spread. Can it be stopped? Or will the curse of Sadako continue unopposed?
