NIGHT FELL UNTO THE SETTLEMENT AT THE LAKE'S EDGE .

AND TWO CHILDREN SNUCK OUT OF BED , 
CHASING MYSTERY .

THEY RAN TO THE EDGE OF THE FOREST ,
AND AS PREDETERMINED BY FATE ,
THEY SLIPPED INSIDE .

THEY WERE ENVELOPED
IN DARKNESS .

" Kris, it's so... dark in here...", SAID THE FIRST .

" Are you sure we should even be in here...  "
" I don't feel... safe. "

INSTEAD OF WITHDRAWING FROM THE SHADOWS ,
FOOLISHLY ,
THEY CROSSED FURTHER INTO THE THRESHOLD BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARK .

INTO FATE .

" KRIS. ", FIRMLY STATED THE GIRL .
" C'mon, there's nothing IN here. "
" All of this place must have been cleared out years ago after the war. "
" It's just a hollow expanse of void . "

" It'll stretch on forever, and to be honest, we should probably leave before we get lost down here in this compound forever, haha!!  "

HER LAUGHTER WAS SHRILL ,
A THIN VEIL.
COVERING HER TRUE FEELINGS OF FEAR FOR THIS PLACE .
BUT THE SECOND DID NOT BACK DOWN
THEY PULLED OUT A BOOK ,
AND READ OFF THE PAGE


BUT NOBODY CAME .

THE SECOND FIGURE SAID SOMETHING QUIETLY , 
BEFORE FOLLOWING THE GIRL'S DIRECTION 
AND TURNING AROUND . 

BUT THEN...!

" Kris, stay very quiet. ", THE FIRST HUSHED THE SECOND . 
" There's someone... Standing there, in the doorway. "

" ... "

JUXTAPOSING HER LAST ORDER TO THE HUMAN ,

THE GIRL CALLED OUT TO THE FIGURE .
AND HER ANSWER WAS RETURNED WITH HANDS .
COUNTLESS DARK HANDS SPRAWLED OUT OF THE DARKNESS ,
REACHING OUT FOR THE HUMAN SHE HAD TOLD TO HUSH .

THEY WERE CAPTURED WITHIN MOMENTS .
AND THE GIRL SCREAMED , THE BARITONE ECHOING THROUGHOUT THE SHADOWS .
" KRIS!! " SHE SCREAMED.
" LET THEM GO!!!"
SHE TURNED TO THE FIGURE
AND IT WAS SUDDENLY BEFORE HER
GLARING WITH BURNING RED EYES .
" I AM TRULY SORRY . "
" BUT IN THE GRAND GAME OF LIFE ,
A VESSEL IS REQUIRED . "
" YOU , DREAMER "
" SHALL BE MY KNIGHT . "
THEY STRUGGLED .
" YOU MAY NOT ENVISION YOURSELF IN SUCH A ROLE NOW , "
" BUT ANY MIND CAN BE
RECONDITIONED "
THE GIRL PULLED HER SILVER BLADE FROM HER POCKET ,
AN EVENT UNFORESEEN.
AND SHE LASHED IT INTO THE FIGURE .
A GASH WEAVED DOWN HIS EYE .
AND THE HANDS RETURNED TO DARKNESS .
THE DREAMER DESCENDED ,
AND THE GIRL LET HER BLADE FALL .
BUT ONE SHOULD NEVER LET DOWN THEIR GUARD .
THE FIGURE LATCHED ONTO HER WITH FINGERS MALFORMED INTO TEETH
DEVOURING HER INTO DARKNESS .

" BUT PERHAPS . "
" I CAN SAVE MYSELF."
" THE HASSLE."

THE DREAMER RAN
AND RAN
AND RAN.

THE GIRL SCREAMED AFTER THEM
BEGGING THEM TO SLICE THE HANDS HOLDING HER, WITH THE FALLEN BLADE THE DREAMER HAD JUST PICKED UP.

BUT THEN THEY WERE GONE.

AND THE KNIGHT
AND HER DOCTOR
FELL DEEPER INTO SHADOW.

WHERE SHE WOULD BE MALFORMED
AND RESHAPED
AND HER MIND SHIFTED AND BROKEN
UNTIL SHE FIT THE MOLD

OF HIS ROARING KNIGHT

MY KNIGHT.
SHE WOULD SCREAM.
SHE WOULD SCREAM, AND BEG.
AND CRY OUT INTO DARKNESS.
BUT NOBODY WOULD COME.

EVERY ATOM OF HER BEING WOULD SHATTER
HER MIND ITSELF TORN TO PIECES
BUT EVERY TIME . . . HER BODY REFORMED.

SHE WOULD WATCH OVER AND OVER
AS EVERY FIBER OF HER BEING WAS RIPPED APART AND PULLED BACK TOGETHER.
FAUX VISIONS OF HER OWN GRUESOME DEATH
UNTIL SHE WISHED IT WAS REAL.

UNTIL SHE QUESTIONED WHETHER IT WAS.

AND IT WOULD GO ON
FOR YEARS.

UNTIL HE

UNTIL I

WAS SATISFIED.

UNTIL DECEMBER ,
STRIPPED OF HER IDENTITY
WAS FITTING TO BE MY ROARING KNIGHT .

THE HAND OF THE KING OF DARKNESS .

A WORTHLESS COG IN THE MACHINE .
IS THAT A SATISFACTORY BEDTIME STORY FOR YOU, MY ANGEL ?
AN OPPONENT MADE JUST FOR YOU.
I AND YOU OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE CHESSBOARD.
WHO WILL WIN ?

*A LIGHTNER YOU ARE
*IM FILLED WITH SUCH BLISS

*YOU ARE SO ALONE
*THE DARKNESS, A KISS

*COME PAY ME A VISIT
*NOTHING IS AMISS

*THIS IS A FRIENDLY PLACE
*SO SAYS THE ABYSS

—————————————————

This is essentially just a battle theme I had in mind for the Face from the sweepstakes, kind of inspired by Drowning Droning. It’s moreso meant to invoke a feeling of urgency rather than the urge to bust a move.

♪ SAYS THE ABYSS [V1]

* Welcome, lightners, welcome!
* Feel free to help yourselves to any of my little trinkets.
* As long as you buy them! Haha!

* Endless cliffs of ice form before your eyes.
* It's silent, yet tears echo through the maze.
* You are filled with the power to push through, for someone you care about.

This... Doesn't even play in-game. Interesting name though!

♪ RANDOMIZED DEMISE

cat petterz 2 title theme

i made some progress! there's a lot more to this game than i thought there was.
i messed up the first time around, i guess... i got a choice between waking up and staying asleep, and i chose to wake up. that's when it gave me the text about "not failing again"... i wasn't really paying attention. when i tried again and chose to stay asleep, we woke up in the dark world! i got a proper screenshot of it this time, i got a nice little work around. makes the game freeze up like crazy though

anyway, not a lot happened here. its basically just a walking simulator, occasional text from offscreen like before. but the music's kinda ... calm? especially compared to the original cliffs. this and the dialog made me think it was ... more of an errand than an adventure, like this is normal. i'm not sure. noelle ends up waking back up though! so i think it's just, like, a weird dream segment thing. the dialog was completely nonsensical, i still can't make heads or tails of it at all! didn't bother writing anything down from it, since it wasn't very helpful anyway. regrettably i did get stuck on the only puzzle in the entire area.

there's this room that loops forever- a plus-shaped room, with four directions. i didn't realize at the time, but you're supposed to listen to the music. it gets quiter when you're going the wrong way, and louder when you're going the right way. when i got to the end, she just... gets woken up by carol?

anyway, im still making my way through it all, but a bunch of people got super interested in the last post, so i wanted to keep people updated. sorry again about the link :[ i know its super cliche but it's just ... gone? i've looked everywhere, but i have no idea where it went. and i can't even remember who it said made the game, so i can't look that up and find it, either. if you guys know any way i could check maybe through the files, that'd be cool, just... let me know...
