Welcome! AdventureTale is a mediocre text adventure game made by a tired college student. It's supposed to be like the RPG game UNDERTALE, but no images or character names or anything like that was taken from it! Just the concepts. You will get to choose whether to FIGHT monsters or to show MERCY to them and be friends! Based on what you choose, you'll get a certain ending! Background images used are either mine or are open source. Anyway, Have fun! START
You are just a college student at BAC. You are a very NORMAL person with a very NORMAL life, and sometimes you wish you had more excitement in your life. You really don't feel like going to your Computer Science class this afternoon. Maybe you should just totally ditch class and do something exciting! Yea, you'll go on an epic ADVENTURE. Just as you are about to leave your house, your mom ambushes you! She asks where you're going and when you'll be back. What will you do? FIGHT MERCY
Okay, you can't actually fight your mom, but you can lie! You tell her you're going to the library to study and work and be the perfect student. Your mom is not sure, but she buys it. You terrible child.
You can't bear the thought of lying to your mom. You tell her the truth, and explain that this is just something you NEED to do. Your mom understands that going on spontaneous adventures in the middle of a college semester are part of every student's life.
Now you can go about your big ADVENTURE. Where will you go? The RIVER The MOUNTAIN
You go to the RIVER. The water babbles frantically when it sees you. Or maybe it was always doing that. Still pretty exciting! But wait, what's that? Oh no! An angry WaterHorse approaches you! What will you do? FIGHT MERCY
The WaterHorse is strong, but your college-age body is somehow stronger. After you manage to survive a kick to your beautiful face, you bodyslam that poor equine creature into evaporation. The children playing this game pretend that he'll reform later.
You ask the WaterHorse how he's doing. He neighs in confusion, but decides to evolve to the point of being able to communicate with the English language. You have a lovely conversation about horse politics, and he decides you are a worthy friend. The WaterHorse then tells you to come by anytime and majestically ride into the sunset together. Nice.
You're ready to move on. Where will you go? The BEACH The FOREST The MOUNTAIN
You decide to climb the MOUNTAIN. You definitely don't almost slip and fall off before reaching a standable area. Suddenly you hear growling . . . Oh my goodness! A WolfBear is coming right for you! What will you do? FIGHT MERCY
You punch that big bad WolfBear right in the nose. He doesn't appreciate this and promptly tries to crush you with his big bad WolfBear body. More fighting stuff happens, and you finally manage to push that fuzzy wuzzy right off the mountain.
You sit down and pull out your convenient picnic basket filled with lunch. The WolfBear's favorite thing is picnics so he decides to hold off fighting until you've both eaten. Even though he ends up eating all the food, he thanks you and realizes he was wrong about college kids. You give him the basket as a token of friendship and say goodbye.
You're ready to move on. Where will you go? The RIVER Higher up the MOUNTAIN The UNDERGROUND CAVERN (Note: you will not be able to go back to other areas once you go underground)
You to go to the BEACH. The sun is hot, and the beach goers are even hotter B). Hold the presses! A SirenShark has fabulously risen out of the water and is readying her attack! What will you do? FIGHT MERCY
You decide to use an abandoned beach umbrella as a spear and charge right at the SirenShark. You block hit after hit from her weird hand fins. You notice that she's trying to sing you to sleep, but with a couple of hard whacks from your umbrella spear, you effectively ensure that she'll never sing again.
You decide to hum a little tune. The SirenShark hears this and forgets all about her attack. She wants you to teach her this new song, and soon enough you're both singing Beyoncé songs and being sassy. The SirenShark thanks you for singing with her, and wants you to come back again to sing more human music.
You're ready to move on. Where will you go? The RIVER The UNDERGROUND CAVERN (Note: you will not be able to go back to other areas once you go underground)
You trek through the thick FOREST. Even though the sun is supposed to be shining, it's eerily dark from all the foliage. You hear something creak and whip around and see none other than . . . Treebeard! What's he doing here? Treebeard is not interested in fighting. He'd rather hang out with you, and he questions why you are out here and not in school. What will you do? FIGHT MERCY
You feel threatened by Treebeard's innocent question and waste no time in retaliating. While he sits there quietly you do your best to start a fire. Treebeard continues to sit silently as the fire starts. A forest fire begins, and you somehow manage to get out of it safely. Environmentalists everywhere are screaming.
You break down and dump out all your stresses onto Treebeard. ALL of them. Treebeard nods understandingly, even though he has never been to college and doesn't know what a "GPA" is. So to make you feel better, he tells you a cool story about some hobbits. It doesn't fix your problems, but you do feel better. Thanks Treebeard.
You scrape your way up the MOUNTAIN. It's starting to get colder, and you think of your nice warm bed. But alas! Such harsh conditions are what one must brave to be a true adventurer. Wait a minute. What the higgidy heck is that? Holy halibut! A ferocious EagleLion is flying right towards you! What will you do? FIGHT MERCY
You begin to gather as many rocks as possible to lob at your airborne enemy. The EagleLion produces a bizarre squawk-roar, probably trying to intimidate you, but you expertly hurl the heaviest rock straight into his open mouth. The rock uses its power of solidness to block airflow for the EagleLion, and what happens next is pretty predictable.
Just as the EagleLion starts to swoop down, you compliment him on the sharpness of his claws. Did he file them daily? The EagleLion is overjoyed that you noticed and sadly admits that no one ever takes notice of how hard he works to maintain such a regal and powerful appearance. As thanks, the EagleLion gives you a nice warm coat that just happened to be your favorite color, style, and material.
You're ready to move on. Where will you go? Back Down The MOUNTAIN The UNDERGROUND CAVERN (Note: you will not be able to go back to other areas once you go underground)
As you are looking around whatever area you're at, you trip ever so gracefully down a long hole, but you're totally okay from it. When you look up, you find yourself in an UNDERGROUND CAVERN. The hole is too far away for you to climb out, so you're going to have to find another way out. You're definitely not panicking like any other normal human would be. Hold up! What's going on here? A duplicitous SnakeBat draws near! What will you do? FIGHT MERCY
The SnakeBat is pretending to be friendly, but you're no fool. As she inches closer to your throat, you prepare to draw your secret knife that you definitely had the whole time and was not conceived in this instant for plot convenience. You swing that bad boy so hard that bad things happen to the sneaky SnakeBat. With the SnakeBat not talking anymore, you can hear noise coming from one of the tunnels. Probably best to go that way.
Even though you know the SnakeBat is faking friendliness and just trying to get closer to your throat, you ask if she wants to play a game of cards with you, because she seems like the intelligent type. The SnakeBat is flattered and admits she's rather good at cards. You play a round of blackjack, and she totally kicks your butt. She thanks you for the good time and directs you to the UNDERGROUND VILLAGE.
You're ready to move on. To The UNDERGROUND VILLAGE
You happen upon a lovely little village of all kinds of strange animal monsters. They're all pretty friendly, but they also seem anxious about something. All the Villagers are not sure whether to trust you or not. . . What will you do? FIGHT MERCY
You cackle like the evil college student you are. They were right not to trust you! Then you do some things that are probably not okay, like slaughtering innocent villagers and stealing all their money. Hey, they are just monsters after all. Who cares? You then notice a sign that points to the UNDERGROUND SHRINE, where one can be judged and rewarded greatly.
You ask the Villagers what's wrong and if there's anything you can do to help. They all shift around nervously before telling you of a monster that is not like them, who is terrorizing them and hiding deeper in the cavern past the UNDERGROUND SHRINE. You decide you'll try to help these poor Villagers, and they are so happy, they give you lots of food and cool armor to help you out!
You're ready to move on. To The UNDERGROUND SHRINE
You enter the shrine. It's kind of creepy and you're not sure what to expect. You feel a rumbling and almost fall over. Out of the ground rises . . . The GoatGuardian! The GoatGuardian looks all kinds of menacing, but he tells you you will not have to fight if he judges you as worthy. Are you ready? BE JUDGED
The GoatGuardian recoils back in surprise at how much HATE you have. He tells you he's absolutely sure you could beat the UNDERGROUND BOSS without breaking a sweat, but he fears that you are even a more DANGEROUS MONSTER than that guy is. He reluctantly prepares to attack you. You're lucky you have all that HATE to give you a massive boost in power that the poor old GoatGuardian could never have. He still beats you pretty hard, but you're able to grab him by the leg and fling him into a wall. Rocks collapse on him, and he's probably not going to get up for a while or ever.
The GoatGuardian becomes elated when he sees how much LOVE you have. He's confident that you can stop the UNDERGROUND BOSS, but he wants to make sure that you WANT to go up against the fiend. After all you are just a little college student. You let the GoatGuardian know that you may be small and weak and not very good at sports, but with the LOVE you've gained from all your new friends, you can stand up to anything. The GoatGuardian laughs at your cheesy little hero speech and pats you on the head, giving you his friendship.
It's time to move on. To The UNDERGROUND BOSS
The GoatGuardian sadly tells you that you're not entirely ready to face the UNDERGROUND BOSS. He thanks you for caring about his people and tells you he will send you back up to the surface so you can get back to your NORMAL life. Oh well. At least you survived your ADVENTURE. You'll definitely be able to apply the skills you've gained to your work in school. Definitely. Finish Game
This is it. You walk in the room of the UNDERGROUND BOSS, ready to see the worst evil ever and— Wait . . . what is this? You find yourself looking at a lone little FLOWER in the middle of the cavern. You begin to think this was all a joke, but as you turn around to leave a sinister high-pitched voice echoes throughout the cave, asking you what you think you're doing here. When you turn around, you see the FLOWER has a face with a creepy little smile, and it's having a sudden growth spurt. The FLOWER readies its whip-like vines, and suddenly you think maybe Computer Science class isn't as terrible as you made it out to be. What will you do?
FIGHT
MERCY
