Y/N] >>y [LOADING NEW GAME] [COPYRIGHT EQUESTRIAN GAMES SOFTWARE INC. 2016] [GAME LOADED] You struggle to open your eyes as the sunlight beats down on your face, feeling that you're not in your bed, but on a patch of grass. That bit of knowledge made you force your eyes open wide in shock, then immediately regretting it after the sun overhead burns your retinas slightly. After your eyes readjust, you carefully viewed your surroundings; you're inside some kind of underground cave of dark gray stone with a single path forward and the only source of life you see is the grass beneath you, which appears to only be alive because of the sunlight pouring in through the hole right above you. It only took a minute for you to realize that you somehow fell through that same hole. You try to remember how it happened, but you can't. You can't even remember your own name or who you are. Deciding that sitting around isn't going to do a thing, you get up and walk into the pathway. As you walk, you notice a small side entrance on your right. You take a slight detour to see what's inside, and reach a dead end that has a small pedestal with what looks like three broken gems of ten shards each on top. You feel mesmerized by them, almost as if they were beckoning to you. Even though they wouldn't be worth any money, you could use these as darts to pierce any creatures that are down here. [pick up gem shards? Y/N?] >>y [FOUND ITEM: 30 GEM SHARDS] [GAME AUTO-SAVED] [PATHWAY CLOSED] You pick up the shards and stuff them into pants pocket, at least you have some sort of weapon now. You turn around and exit the side cavern, continuing on your previous path. You come across a fork in the road, on your left is a path alit with turquoise green crystals, on your right is a pitch black path with ominous pinkish fog. Suddenly, you hear a voice in the left cavern! Maybe they could help you or tell you where you are. With a plan in mind, you call out, "Hello?" Then the voice is silent. But not for long. "Who's there?" they demand, "Answer me!" It doesn't sounds they're friendly, but you call back anyway, "Can you tell me where I am? I'm lost!" You hear the voice scoff, "That's a joke. How does one get lost here, of all places? "I'd answer that, if I knew where here is!" "...Are you serious?" you didn't think the voice would be softer from confusion, "...Come to me. We must speak at once." At first, you are skeptical, the owner of the voice seems hostile, making you consider taking your chances with the pink foggy path, then again, that fog-filled area gives you the creeps, fog isn't supposed to be pink. What will you do? [FOLLOW VOICE] [ENTER FOGGY PATH] [DO NOTHING!] >>follow voice [GAME AUTO-SAVED] You followed the voice into the left cavern, believing they may have answers. The crystals light up the path with no sign of darkness. You made it to the end of the path to see a disturbing sight. A demon. No. A she-demon, with red skin, fire-like hair, turquoise irises with black sclera, long, pointy ears, large wings, red and yellow tail, and sharp claws, wearing a yellow, red, and black tattered dress and black and red high heeled boots making her appearance more frightening. "Who are you?" the demon asks, but you are too shocked to speak, "I asked you a question!" "I...I don't know. All I know is that I woke up here with no memory of who I am or how I got here, wherever here is." "This is a prison for all evildoers like me." This cave...is a prison? But you've done nothing wrong. You shouldn't be here. "Tell me...is there a way out of here?" you ask her. "No one leaves. We've all tried. But the Barrier is too strong." You don't know what to make of all this. "I'm Sunset She-demon, by the way. Since you didn't bother to ask me for my name." "Oh, um, sorry." "'Sorry'? You really shouldn't be here. They couldn't have POSSIBLY banished you...could they?" They? "Who's 'they'?" "Never mind. It's obvious talking to you have no benefit for me." [CONVERSE] [DO NOTHING!] [LEAVE] >>converse "Maybe not, but if you could tell me why you're here, maybe I could understand how you got here and it might help to get it off your chest." "Hmph. Oh yeah? How about you take a long walk off a...short..." her insult stops cold as she notices something, "How...how did you get past the energy field...?" You were confused, what energy field? "Um...I just...walked through it? I guess?" "Are...are you...immune to magic...?" she asked. Her eyes brightened for a moment, then she gave a devious look, "Come closer. I wish to give you something." Cautiously, you walk closer to her, only for her to plant her lips on yours and feel your consciousness slip away. What will you do? [FIGHT!] [RUN!] [DO NOTHING!] [SPARE] [FLIRT] >>fight You shove her off, dig out a few gem shards from your pocket, and throw them at her. She flies to the side, dodging your attack, and flaps her wings forward towards you. [ITEM LOST: 3 GEM SHARDS] [FIGHT!] [RUN!] [DO NOTHING!] [SPARE] [FLIRT] >>run You attempt to run away, but Sunset She-demon pins you down and forces her tongue down your throat as she makes out with you, and you lose consciousness. ... ...... ......... "You now serve me and only me." "Yes, mistress." "And as your first act of servitude, before we leave this wretched place...make love to your mistress." [GAME OVER] [LOAD LAST SAVE] [RESET] [QUIT] >>load last save [GAME LOADED] What the heck? How did you get back here? You were just being forced to make out with a demon a few minutes ago. ...Did you die? ...And brought yourself back to life!?! You are completely creeped out by this assumption, but press on forward anyway. You continue through the crystal lit cavern, until you stop in your tracks as you see something deadly familiar. It's the same she-demon from before. "Who are you?" the she-demon asks. You remember that she brainwashed you, extinguishing your soul and free will. What will you do? [FIGHT!] [RUN!] [DO NOTHING!] [SPARE] [FLIRT] [CONVERSE?] >>fight You pull out one of your gem shards and throw it at her head, piercing through it perfectly and effectively killing her. You won! [EXP Gained] [Lv. 2 achieved!] [ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: DEMON SLAYER] [ITEM LOST: 1 GEM SHARD] [GAME AUTO-SAVED] [PATHWAY CLOSED] You leave the corpse of the demon and continue into the foggy path, seeing that there's no other way to move forward. Then, all of a sudden, you come across two miniature male versions of the demon you just killed, one blue, one orange. What will you do? [FIGHT!] [RUN!] [DO NOTHING!] [SPARE] [FLIRT] >>fight You dig out two gem shards and sling them at the demons, striking both of them through the heart and slowly killing them. You won! [EXP Gained] [Lv. 3 achieved!] [Lv. 4 achieved!] [ITEM LOST: 2 GEM SHARDS] You didn't see the weird screen that auto-saves your progress, so you focus on opening a menu of some sort. [FIGHT!] [RUN!] [DO NOTHING!] [SPARE] [FLIRT] You decide to call this one the "ACT" screen, and focus on opening another. [LOAD] [SAVE] [RESET] [QUIT] You decide to call this one the "OPTIONS" screen. You reach out and press [SAVE]. [GAME SAVED] With a nod of satisfaction, you continue forward until you see a light at the other end of the tunnel and the pink fog dissipates.
