[[Click here to begin]]
Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS. One day, war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell.
Many years later...
MT. EBOTT 201X
Legends say that those who climb the mountain never return.
It's a sunny day outside, birds are singing and there are no clouds in the sky, and you thought that it would be nice to go to take a walk on Mt. Ebott. But your mom will never let you go alone on the mount, so you tell her a lie. "Goodbye mom! I am... uh... going to play with my friends!" you tell her. "Ok, honey, but come back for dinner!" she says to you. "Ok, bye!" "Bye!"
You are peacefully strolling on the mountain and, suddenly, you fall down into a very deep chasm. After an indefinite period of time, miraculously, you wake up on a field of sunflowers, without a scratch. "I-I am alive? How's that possible?" you think. "Ok, it doesn't matter, i need to get out of here". You look around in search of a way out, and you find a long narrow tunnel. You do not see no other way to get out, so you decide to get into it. The tunnel led you to a dark room with a smiling little flower. "Uhh... hi? Who are you?" you ask. "Howdy! I'm FLOWEY. FLOWEY the FLOWER!" says the flower. "Hmmm... you're new to the UNDERGROUND, aren'tcha? Golly, you must be so confused. Someone ought to teach you how things work around here! I guess little old me will have to do. Ready? Here we go!" "It's all my fault, I should have not exaggerate with chili last night..." you say. "Your soul starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV. What's LV stands for? Why, LOVE, of course! You want some LOVE, don't you? Don't worry, i'll share some with you!" Flowey does a wink and some strange white pellets came out of nowhere. "Down here, LOVE is shared through... little white... friendliness pellets. Are you ready?" You respond him: "I'm not sure about this..." "Move around! Get as many as you can!" says Flowey. Maybe he didn't hear you, or maybe he was ignoring you. The friendliness pellets start going towards you. What will you do?
[[Go towards the pellets]]
[[Avoid the pellets]]
You decide to trust Flowey and go toward the pellets. Bad decision. REALLY bad decision. The pellets hurt you so much that they almost kill you, and now Flowey's face is completely changed, to friendly to evil looking. "You idiot" says him. "In this world, it's KILL or BE KILLED. Why would anyone pass an opportunity like this?" After he says that, you came surrounded by pellets, without any way of escape.
"Die.", says Flowey, in a very creepy scream.
The pellets come close to you, and when it seems that all is lost, Flowey is blown away by a fireball. You hear a woman's voice saying: "What a terrible creature, torturing such a pure, innocent youth..." You see a weird tall figure coming in your direction, with some strange signs on her habit. Now that the figure comes close to you, you realize it's not a human, but a goat! "Ah, do not be afraid, my child. I am TORIEL, caretaker of the RUINS. I pass through this place every day to see if anyone has fallen down. You are the first human to come here in a long time. Come! I will guide you through the catacombs". You came back in your human form. "This way.", says Toriel. You follow her to a big purple room, with two stairways that lead to another room. "This HAS to be a nightmare... flowers that try to kill you and talking goats? Where are we, in a text based game? Oh... wait a minute... nevermind. Uh, you, wait for me!"
The other room has a series of buttons in the floor, a lever on the wall, a sign, and a closed door. "Welcome to your new home, innocent one", says Toriel. "Wait, new home? What are you talking about?" you say. "Allow me to educate you in the operation of the Ruins". Seems that she can't listen to you. Having said this, Toriel presses some buttons on the floor, then she presses the switch and the door opens. "The Ruins are full of puzzles. Ancient fusion between diversions and doorkeys." You try to see if Toriel can hear you, by screaming at her. One must solve them to move from room to room. Please adjust yourself to the sight of them". Toriel now goes to the other room.
[[Go to the next room]]
You decide to avoid the pellets. Seems that Flowey didn't like that. "Hey buddy, you missed them." says. "Let's try again, okay?" Flowey sends to you other 5 pellets. What will you do now?
[[Keep avoiding]]
[[Go towards the pellets]]
You decide to keep avoiding the pellets. Flowey seems really annoyed. "Is this a joke? Are you braindead? RUN. INTO. THE. friendliness pellets". Uhm, strange. When Flowey was finishing talking, you thought you heard "bullets" instead of "friendliness pellets". Another 5 pellets are coming in your direction. Will you keep avoiding, and see Flowey get more angry? Or will you finally catch the pellets?
[[Still avoid the pellets]]
[[Go towards the pellets]]
You decide to still avoid the pellets. This time, the pellets was sent them more faster than the first two times. Flowey goes completely mad. His face is now completely changed, from friendly to evil-looking, and his voice is now much creepier than before. "You know what's going on here, don't you? You just wanted to see me suffer". You came surrounded by pellets, without any way of escape.
"Die.", says Flowey, in a very creepy scream.
The pellets come close to you, and when it seems that all is lost, Flowey is blown away by a fireball. You hear a woman's voice saying: "What a terrible creature, torturing such a pure, innocent youth..." You see a weird tall figure coming in your direction, with some strange signs on her habit. Now that the figure comes close to you, you realize it's not a human, but a goat! "Ah, do not be afraid, my child. I am TORIEL, caretaker of the RUINS. I pass through this place every day to see if anyone has fallen down. You are the first human to come here in a long time. Come! I will guide you through the catacombs". You came back in your human form. "This way.", says Toriel. You follow her to a big purple room, with two stairways that lead to another room. "This HAS to be a nightmare... flowers that try to kill you and talking goats? Where are we, in a text based game? Oh... wait a minute... nevermind. Uh, you, wait for me!"
The other room has a series of buttons in the floor, a lever on the wall, a sign, and a closed door. "Welcome to your new home, innocent one", says Toriel. "Wait, new home? What are you talking about?" you say. "Allow me to educate you in the operation of the Ruins". Seems that she can't listen to you. Having said this, Toriel presses some buttons on the floor, then she presses the switch and the door opens. "The Ruins are full of puzzles. Ancient fusion between diversions and doorkeys. One must solve them to move from room to room. Please adjust yourself to the sight of them." Toriel now goes to the other room.
[[Go to the next room]]
This new room is way bigger than the other one. It's even divided by three little rivers. "To make progress here, you will need to trigger several switches" says Toriel. "Do not worry, i have labelled the ones that you need to flip". Toriel goes to the other side of the 1st river.
[[Follow Toriel]]
You cross the first little bridge. On the wall there is a little yellow switch, indicated by three little yellow arrows. Toriel stands in front of you, blocking the second bridge, waiting for you to press the switch.
[[Press the switch]]
You press the switch. Toriel went on the other side of the 2nd rivulet, and you follow her. At the end of the room, which is locked by some spikes, there are two switches, and one of them is indicated by a yellow arrow. Toriel stands in front of you, waiting for you to press the right switch.
[[Press the indiated switch]]
[[Press the other switch]]
You press the indicated switch, and the spikes go down. The way to the next room is now clear. "Splendid!" says Toriel. "I am proud of you, little one." "Oh, I'm glad you noticed my great switch-presser skills." you reply.
Yeah, if it weren't that you do not have great switch-presser skills. Actually, you have no skills in particular. "Hey, who's speaking?" you say.
Time suddenly stopped. "Wait, what? Who are you? And why only you can hear me?"
Of course I can hear you. I can hear everybody in this story. Let me introduce myself. I am Thor, the narrator. Thor the Narrator. Get it?
"Yeah, unfortunately. So, you said that you are the narrator of this story. Do you know what's gonna happen next?"
Sure i know, but i'm not gonna tell you because i don't want to ruin the story to players.
"Oh come on! I wanna know what's gonna happen to me! Do i die? Do i finally woke up from this crazy nightmare and then i'll go to breakfast? You know, all this psychopath flowers and pressing switch thing is making me hungry."
I'm sorry for you, but this is not a dream. All these events, all these persons are real.
"But... i will get out of here, right?"
My boy, it is not up to me. It's up to the players. I'm only here to tell the story, I have no effect on it. As you might go out from the underground, you may also stay there forever, or worse, die.
"Are you telling me that my life is just a game? That my fate is in the hand of some stranger on the internet? That's up to them to decide if I must return to my home from my parents, from my friends, forget all that is going on now and continue to live like a normal child, or die here in these caves, killed by some monster without compassion for others? Or stay here forever, without ever being able to see again my mom and my dad, because they want the story to end well? Just because they think "I'm just the hero of an adventure game, the result of the developer's mind, and that's up to them to decide which order should I do"? They do not know that even if they are made of pixels, I have feelings, too? Yes, of feelings! Anger, fear, sadness... all the feelings that the real human feel! But they do not know. For them, I'm worth less than zero. Hey, you're playing human, listen to me, why do not I'll tell you again: spare me, ok? They do not deserve to die, or stay to rot in this place. I can not claim to be a saint, but, hey, I'm just a kid. If you will not do it for me, do it for my parents. Think about how they would feel if their only child died. Try to put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel if your son was killed? Not well. So, in plain English: spare me, please. Besides, I have not done anything wrong to you. And now, let's get out of here. See you later, Thor."
Oh, i'm not going anywhere. I'm gonna stay with you and watch, telling the story at the player.
"So, you are gonna look at me all the time I'll stay here?"
Yes, and I will write about any action you will do through the game.
"Really? Every action? Oh, let me try..."
You now start to shake your hand in the hair, to see if Thor would have write about that.
"Wow! This is really cool! Let me try again..."
You now start too shake both of your hands in the air. You began to shake your hand so hard that it wouldn't be a surprise if you began to fly like a bird.
"Oh yeah! This is awesome!"
Yeah, but now stop go ahead with the story. Players will get bored if i only talk about you shaking your hands!
"Okay, okay, i'll go. Please unfreeze time now."
As you said, Thor unfreezed time, so that you could continue your journey to home. Toriel begins to speak again: "Let us move to the next room". After saying that, Toriel goes away. You follow her to the next room, with a dummy. "As a human living in the UNDERGROUND, monsters may attack you." You say ironically: "No no no no no, what? Here in the Underground monsters will ATTACK me? Just like Flowey did before? REALLY? Oh, and here i thought that the would offer me ice cream..." Toriel continues speaking. "You will need to be prepared for this situation. However, worry not! The process is simple. When you encounter a monster, you will enter a FIGHT. While you are in a FIGHT, strike up a friendly conversation. Stall for time. I will come to resolve the conflict. Practice talking to the dummy". Toriel goes in front of the entry of the next room. What will you do? Go talk to Toriel or go to the dummy?
[[Go to the dummy]]
[[Go to Toriel]]
You say: "Hmmm... this one is labelled, but maybe IT'S A TRAP! You indicated that to confuse me! But i'm not stupid enough to fall in your prosy trap! Hahahahahaha!" You press the other switch. Nothing happens. "No no no!" says Toriel. "You want to press the other switch. I even labelled it for you..." Seems that inverted psychology didn't worked this time. "Hey, no one ever knows. There was the 50% of probability that was a real trap! I was unlucky this time." You press the indicated switch, and the spikes go down. The way to the next room is now clear. "Splendid!" says Toriel. "I am proud of you, little one." "Oh, I'm glad you noticed my great switch-presser skills." you reply.
Yeah, if it weren't that you do not have great switch-presser skills. Actually, you have no skills in particular.
"Hey, who's speaking?"

What will you do? Go talk to Toriel or go to the dummy?
[[Go to the dummy]]
[[Go to Toriel]]
Toriel says: "Do you need some ideas for conversation topics? Well, i often start with a simple 'how do you do...'. You could ask them about their favourite books... jokes can be useful for breaking the ice. Listen to this one... what did the skeleton tile his roof with?... SHIN-gles!... well, i thought it was amusing." You reply: "If here in the Underground you use amusing instead of shabby, yeah, that was pretty amusing."
[[Talk again]]
You go to the Dummy. You have three options:
[[Attack the dummy]]
[[Interact with the dummy]]
[[Show mercy with the dummy]]
Toriel says: "Practice talking to the dummy. You can say anything... the dummy will not be bothered."
[[Go to the dummy]]
With an extremely precise attack, you attack the Dummy.
YOU WON!
You earned 0 xp and 0 gold.
Toriel seems worried. "Ahh, the dummies are not for fighting! They are for talking!" says her, with a scolding tone. "In my place, it's the exact opposite" you say. "We do not want to hurt anybody, do we...? Come now", then she goes to the next room. You follow her. "There is another puzzle in this room... I wonder if you can solve it?" You continue to follow her to the next path of the room, when all of a sudden an enemy attacks you. His name is "Froggit", and his shape remembers a frog. What will you do?
[[Attack the Froggit]]
[[Interact with the Froggit]]
[[Be merciful]]
You have two options:
[[Check the dummy]]
[[Talk with the dummy]]
You have two options:
[[Spare the dummy]]
[[Flee from the dummy]]
DUMMY - ATK 0 DEF 0
A cotton heart and and a button eye
You are the apple of my eye
"Yeah yeah, whatever that means" you say.
[[Attack the dummy]]
[[Interact with the dummy]]
[[Show mercy with the dummy]]
You talk to the dummy. "Uhh... hi. How's going?"
The dummy stands here, stationary and silent. "Oh come on! Don't do that DUM face! Eheheheheh...eheh...eh."
... it doesn't seem much for conversation.
TORIEL seems happy with you.
YOU WON!
You earned 0 XP and 0 gold.
You came back to Toriel, which seems proud and happy. "Ah, very good! You are very good" she says, then she goes to the next room. You follow her. "There is another puzzle in this room... I wonder if you can solve it?" You continue to follow her to the next path of the room, when all of a sudden an enemy attacks you. His name is "Froggit", and its shape remembers a frog. What will you do?
[[Attack the Froggit]]
[[Interact with the Froggit]]
[[Be merciful]]
The sign says: "The western room is the eastern room's blueprint".
Dummy looks like it's going to fall over.
[[Spare again]]
[[Flee from the dummy]]
You fled form the Dummy, saying: "I really do have to talk to a dummy? Oh come on! I've got better to do, like TRY TO GO AWAY FROM THIS PLACE."
Toriel is speechless. "...you ran away... Truthfully, that was not a poor choice. It is better to avoid conflict whenever possible. That... however, is only a dummy. It cannot harm you. It is made of cotton. It has no desire for revenge...nevermind. Stay close to me and I will keep you safe", then she goes to the next room. You follow her. "There is another puzzle in this room... I wonder if you can solve it?" You continue to follow her to the next path of the room, when all of a sudden an enemy attacks you. His name is "Froggit", and its shape remembers a frog. What will you do?
[[Attack the Froggit]]
[[Interact with the Froggit]]
[[Be merciful]]
Dummy stands around absentmindedly. "Probably i can't spare it" you think. "I think i have to do something else."
[[Attack the dummy]]
[[Interact with the dummy]]
[[Show mercy with the dummy]]
Before you can do anything else, Toriel glances a threatening look to the Froggit, sending him away.
YOU WON!

YOU WON!
You earned 0 XP and 0 gold.
You notice that there is a sign on the wall. Read it?
[[Yes]]
[[No, and keep following Toriel]]
"Uhmm... I like your blue eyes." Only now you recognize that his eyes are green. "Uh, whatever, FROGGIT about it! Hahahahahah... maybe it's a good thing if nobody can hear me." Froggit didn't understand what you said, but was flattered anyway. Before you can do anything else, Toriel glances a threatening look to the Froggit, sending him away.
YOU WON!
You earned 0 XP and 0 gold.
You notice that there is a sign on the wall. Read it?
[[Yes]]
[[No, and keep following Toriel]]

[[Yes]]
[[No, and keep following Toriel]]
You escape from the Froggit. You notice that there is a sign on the wall. Read it?
[[Yes]]
[[No, and keep following Toriel]]
You keep following Toriel to a bridge full of spikes. It seems impossible to cross. Toriel says: "This is the puzzle, but... here, take my hand for a moment". You take Toriel's hand and she crosses the bridge. Where she walks, the spikes go down. You are now at the other side of the bridge. "Puzzles seem a little too dangerous for now" says Toriel. "Yeah, that bridge full of spikes that no one knows how have you could cross that was just a little dangerous." you reply. Toriel leaves to the next corridor, and you follow her. "You have done excellently thus far, my child" says Toriel. "However... I have a difficult request to ask of you. I would like you to walk to the end of the room by yourself. Forgive me for this." Toriel now starts to run. She is too fast and you can't get to her. You are now alone in this long, desolated corridor. You start walking to get to the end. Seems that an enemy could appear out of nowhere from everywhere in every moment. You keep walking. The corridor seems endless.
You are now at the end of the corridor, when you see a pillar. Check it?
[[Check the pillar]]
[[Go to the next door]]
You are now in front of the pillar. You check the back and, surprisingly, you see Toriel, pretending you are not there. "I can see you, dummy" you think.
[[Keep checking the pillar]]
You are about to leave the room, when Toriel cames out from behind the pillar. "Greetings, my child. Do not worry, I did not leave you" says Toriel. "I was merely behind this pillar the whole time. Thank you for trusting me."
"Wow. You left a child alone in an almost infinite corridor that could be full of monsters. *sound of slow ironic applauses*."
However, there was an important reason for this exercise... to test your indipendence. I must attend to some business, and you must stay alone for a while. Please remain here. It's dangerous to explore by yourself. I have an idea. I will give you a CELL PHONE." "And here I thought she would give me a sword..." you think.
No, kid. That's another game.
"Hmm, ok. It's better if she give me a Nokia 3310 so that I will be invincible." Toriel continues speaking: "If you have a need for anything, just call. Be good, alright?". After saying that, she leaves. You now go to the next room. You see a Froggit, like the one you saw first. Maybe he IS the one you saw first. Talk to him?
[[Talk to the Froggit]]
[[Keep going]]
She continues hiding from you. "It's pointless to keep checking" you think.
Before you could talk to the Froggit, your cellphone rings. "Hello? This is TORIEL. You have not left the room, have you?" Before you could respond, she begin to talk again. "There are a few puzzles ahead that i have yet to explain. It would be dangerous to try to solve them yourself. Be good, alright?". You close the phone. You now go to talk to the Froggit. He says: "Ribbit, ribbit. (Excuse me, human. I have some advice for you about battling monsters. If you ACT a certain way or FIGHT until you almost defeat them... they might not want to battle you anymore. If a monster does not want to fight you, please... use some MERCY, human.) Ribbit". There is another room, on the north side fo the big room. Go there? Or go to the room at your left?
[[Go to the room at your left]]
[[Go to the end of the room]]
Before you could go anywhere, your cellphone rings. "Hello? This is TORIEL. You have not left the room, have you? There are a few puzzles ahead that i have yet to explain. It would be dangerous to try to solve them yourself. Be good, alright?". You close the call. There are now two rooms: one left and one at the end of this room. Where do you want to go?
[[Go to the room at your left]]
[[Go to the end of the room]]
You go to the upper room. You see a pile of candies on a pillar. It says "take one". Take a piece of candy?
[[Take a candy]]
[[Go to the end of the room]]
You go to the end of the room. Next corridor has a strange floor and two big rectangular holes. You are about to go to the next room when all of a sudden a hole appears on the floor, and you fell in. You are now in a room with two doors. Go to the left door? Or to the right door?
[[Go to the left door]]
[[Go to the right door]]
"Oh, finally something to eat!" You took a piece of candy.
[[Take more candy]]
"Uhm... it wouldn't be a bad thing if I take another one..." You took more candy. How disgusting...
"Hey! What do you want? I haven't eat nothing since this morning."
[[Take another piece of candy]]
"Hmmm... this candies sure are good..." You take another piece. "Uh, I can't control myself." You feel like the scum of the earth... "Ok, this is the last one" you say. You were too precipitous, and the candies fell down. "Damn it!" you think. "It's better if I keep going."
You go to the end of the room. Next corridor has a strange floor and two big rectangular holes. You are about to go to the next room when all of a sudden a hole appears on the floor, and you fell in. You are now in a room with two doors. Go to the left door or to the right door?
[[Go to the left door]]
[[Go to the right door]]
You go to the left door. Seems that was a poor choice, because now you are at the beginning of the corridor again, and you have to fall in the trap again to go to the next room. You go to the right door. You go back to the end of the corridor, and you go to the next room. Right after entering it, your phone rings. "Hello? This is TORIEL. For no reason in particular... which one do you prefer? Cinnamon or butterscotch?"
[[Cinnamon]]
[[Butterscotch]]
You go to the right door. You go back to the corridor, and you go to the next room. Right after entering it, your phone rings. "Hello? This is TORIEL. For no reason in particular... which one do you prefer? Cinnamon or butterscotch?"
[[Cinnamon]]
[[Butterscotch]]
"I prefer cinnamon" you reply. "Oh, i see. Thank you very much!" Toriel hangs up the phone.
After a second, she calls again. "Hello? This is Toriel. You do not DISLIKE butterscotch, do you? I know what your preference is, but... would you turn up your nose if you find it on your plate?"
"I am so hungry that I could eat the whole plate. By the way no, I like butterscotch too."
"Right, right, i understand. Thank you for being patient, by the way". Toriel closes the phone. You now proceed in the room. You see a rock and a paper sign. What would you like to see first?
[[Check the rock]]
[[See the paper sign]]
"I prefer butterscotch" you reply. "Oh, i see. Thank you very much!" Toriel hangs up the phone.
After a second, she calls again. "Hello? This is Toriel. You do not DISLIKE cinnamon, do you? I know what your preference is, but... would you turn up your nose if you find it on your plate?"
"I am so hungry that I could eat the whole plate. By the way no, I like cinnamon too."
"Right, right, i understand. Thank you for being patient, by the way". Toriel closes the phone. You now proceed in the room. You see a rock and a paper sign. What would you like to see first?
[[Check the rock]]
[[See the paper sign]]
You go near the rock, and you see a button on the floor. "There's no need for a genius to understand that I have to push the rock on the button to turn off the spikes." After you did that, you go to the next room. You are now in a very large room, and the floor is the same of the trap corridor you saw first. You are really careful to not fell down, in vain. In this trap room, there are a lot of leaves on the floor, a door that conduces you back to the room, and a paper sign. What would you do?
[[Go back to the room]]
[[Carefully study the layout of the leaves]]
[[Read the paper sign]]
"Uh... player? Wanna hear a tip? You should let me go to study the layout of the leaves. I mean, I can't go blind o this puzzle, maybe if I check the leaves I will be able to go to the next room."
On the sign there's written: "Three out of four grey rocks recommend you push them".
"So, you don't want to let me check the leaves? Oh, maybe you have another plan! Yes! You want to solve this in the hard way, huh? Ok, ok, I trust you. Just... don't take too much time, ok? This place is driving me crazy."
You go back to the room, trying to solve the puzzle again. It's impossible for you to proceed, because you don't where to go, and you fell down again. You see that the layout of the leaves looks like the layout of the room. What do you want to do?
[[Carefully study the layout of the leaves]]
[[Go try to solve the puzzle by yourself again]]
You try to study carefully the layout of the leaves, and you understand that the leaves represent the traps. Following the layout of the leaves, you now finally get to the end of the puzzle room.
[[Go right to the next room]]
On the paper sign there's written: "Please don't step on the leaves".
You try to solve the puzzle by yourself again, but without results. It's useless to go on like this.
"Oh come on! Didn't you read the last line of the previous page? It says that the layout of the leaves looks like the layout of the room. The developer has basically told you what to do! Perhaps he realized that you're an idiot. Or... yes, exactly! Why did not I think of that before? You do not want me to get out of the Ruins! Yes! You want me to stay here, trapped in this puzzle. Then, listen to me. If you let me go from this place, I'll give you a cake. Yes, a cake! A beautiful chocolate cake. Do not you like the idea? A cake in exchange for my life. Yes, it seems reasonable. After all, my life is worth less than a cake, right?"
Enticed by the idea of the cake, you now try to study carefully the layout of the leaves, and you understand that the leaves represent the traps. Following the layout of the leaves, you now finally get to the end of the puzzle room.
[[Go right to the next room]]
In this room, there are three rocks and three buttons on the floor. There are some spikes on a bridge that lead to the other side of the room. You move the first and the second without problems, but when you try to push the third rock, she, unexpectedly, says: "WHOA there, pardner! Who said you could push me around?"
"A talking rock? Well, now I saw everything. Pardon, sir. Can you please move to that button?"
"HMM? So you're ASKIN' me to move over? Okay, just for you, pumpkin". The rock moves one centimeter. You go near her.
"Hmm, sir, maybe you didn't understand. Can you PLEASE go to that button?"
"HMM? You want me to move some more? Alrighty, how's this?". The rock moves one centimeter again, but in the wrong direction.
"Oh, give me a break. MOVE. TO. THE. BUTTON."
"HMM? That was the wrong direction? Okay, think I got it". Finally, the rock moves on the button. You are now about to cross the bridge, when the third rock moves back from the button. You go back to her.
"Rock, listen. There is a bridge, ok? That bridge is full of spikes. The only way to cross that bridge is to move you on the button. I have to cross that bridge. So please, while i'm crossing the bridge, stay on the button, ok?"
"HMM? You wanted me to STAY there? You're giving me a real workout." says the rock, and she moves back to the button.
"I am giving YOU a workout? This place is giving me a workout! Between monsters, psycho flowers, apprehensive goats, puzzles and stubborn rocks this place is driving me crazy. So do me a favor and do not complain if you have to stay on that button, ok? You don't have to stay there forever! As soon as I leave, you can go back to everyday life. Goodbye!"
You go to the next corridor. There is a piece of cheese on a table and a little hole on the wall. What do you want to do?
[[Exit the corridor and go to the next door]]
[[Try to eat the cheese]]
[[Check the hole]]
Since you are starving, you go to the table and check the cheese. "Well, nobody will mind if I take this..." You try to take the cheese, but it's stuck to the table. To console yourself, you think: "Hmph! Probably it's even bad..."
You go near the hole. You hear a squeak but you don't see the mice. Strange...
In this new room, the exit is blocked by a ghost lying on a pile of leaves. He says "z" out loud repeatedly, pretending to sleep. What will you do?
[[Move it with force]]
[[Don't move it ]]
The ghost stands up. His name is Napstablook.
[[Attack Napstablook]]
[[Interact with Napstablook]]
[[Spare Napstablook]]
You decide to don't move it, but you can't go through. Guess you have to use force.
"Napstablook? More like Napsta-DORK!" You attack Napstablook. "I am gonna punch you so hard that you will die! For the second time!" you say. Napstablook now starts to cry strange wiggly tears that, after going on the wall, fall down on you. What will you do now?
[[Keep attacking Napstablook]]
[[Interact with Napstablook]]
[[Spare Napstablook]]
You have four possibilities:
[[Check Napstablook]]
[[Threat Napstablook]]
[[Flirt with Napstablook]]
[[Cheer Napstablook]]
Napstablook says: "i'm fine, thanks". Seems that you can't spare it.
NAPSTABLOOK - ATK 10 DEF 10
This monster doesn't seem to have a sense of humor...
You give Napstablook a cruel look. He says: "go ahead, do it".
You try to flirt with Napstablook. "You know, I always had a thing for shy ghosts..." you say. Napstablook replies: "i'd just weight you down". Seems that flirting was a poor choice.
You try to cheer Napstablook giving him a patient smile. "heh...", he says. Napstablook looks just a bit better.
[[Cheer Napstablook again]]
[[Attack Napstablook]]
[[Interact with Napstablook]]
[[Spare Napstablook]]
You told Napstablook a little joke. "Two mice cheweing on a film roll. One of them goes: I think the book was better." Napstablook says: "heh heh...". Cheering seems to have improved Napstablook's mood again. He wants to show you something. "let me try..." says Napstablook. He now starts to crying, but his tears, instead of falling, move upward, on its head, forming a hat. "i call it 'dapper blook' do you like it...". Napstablook eagerly awaits your response.
[[Flirt with him]]
[[Cheer him]]
"oh no..." says Napstablook. You are now back to the Ruins. "i usually come to the RUINS beacuse there's nobody around... but today i met some body nice... oh, i'm rambling again
i'll get out of your way". Napstablook disappears, and now you are free to keep going. Now you can go in two rooms: the one in front of you, and the one at your left. Where do you want to go?
[[Go in the room in front of you]]
[[Go in the room at your left]]
"oh gee..." says Napstablook. "i usually come to the Ruins beacuse there's nobody around... but today i met some body nice... oh, i'm rambling again"
"i'll get out of your way". Napstablook disappears, and now you are free to keep going. Now you can go in two rooms: the one in front of you, and the one at your left. Where do you want to go?
[[Go in the room in front of you]]
[[Go in the room at your left]]
You go in the room in front of you. You see a sign and two spiderwebs, one small, and one big. On the sign there's written: "Spider Bake Sale. All proceeds go to real spiders." A small cake costs 7g, a big one 18, but (un)fortunately, you don't have gold. You say: "Spider cakes? Ugh... I regret brussels sprouts..."
The room at your left it's a big corridor, long meters and meters. You keep walking to get to the end of the corridor, when your phone rings. It's Toriel. "Hello? I just realized that it has been a while since I have cleaned up. I was not expecting to have company so soon. There are probably a lot of things lying about here and there. You can pick them up, but do not carry more than you need. Someday you might see something you really like. You will want to leave room in your pockets for that." Click... the phone call ends, and you keep going by your way. You are now in another large room. There are six hidden holes on the floor, and the exit of the corridor is locked by some spikes. "There must be a switch or something to lower the spikes" you think, "and this something will probably hide in some hole here. I think i have to fall down the to search the switch". In which hole do you want to fall?
[[Fall in the first hole]]
[[Fall in the second hole]]
[[Fall in the third hole]]
[[Fall in the fourth hole]]
[[Fall in the fifth hole]]
[[Fall in the sixth hole]]
You go down in the first hole. You ended up in a small room with a pile of leaves, a door that conduces yo back to the corridor, and something that looks like a carrot stuck in the floor. What will you do?
[[Go back to the corridor]]
[[Try to pick up the carrot]]
You decide to fall in the second hole. Luckily, you already found the switch. You press that and you heard a clicking sound. The spikes go down, and you are free to go to the next room.
Next room has three pillars, a sign and a hole on the wall, and three switches of three different colors: green, red and blue. "I'm so tired of these puzzles" you think. "Thor, it's better if this is the last puzzle."
Oh, don't worry, kid. The developer has already decided that this puzzle is the last one.
"Oh, fantastic!"
But it's the most difficult.
"Crap."
The entrance for the next room is locked by some spikes. The sign says "The far door is not an exit. It simply marks a rotation in perspective". You press the buttons, but nothing happens. You go to the next room. There is a sign on the wall which says: "If you can read this, press the blue switch". The switches are hidden by three pillars, and to see them you must go behind them. Behind which pillar you want to go?
[[Go behind the first column]
[[Go behind the second pillar]]
[[Go behind the third pillar]]
You decide to fall in the third hole. You find nothing. You go back to the big corridor. In which hole do you want to fall now?
[[Fall in the first hole]]
[[Fall in the second hole]]
[[Fall in the third hole]]
[[Fall in the fourth hole]]
[[Fall in the fifth hole]]
[[Fall in the sixth hole]]
You decide to fall in the fourth hole. You find a faded ribbon. "What am I suppose to do with that?" You leave the ribbon where is. You go back to the big corridor. In which hole do you want to fall now?
[[Fall in the first hole]]
[[Fall in the second hole]]
[[Fall in the third hole]]
[[Fall in the fourth hole]]
[[Fall in the fifth hole]]
[[Fall in the sixth hole]]
You decide to fall in the fifth hole. You find Napstablook lying on the floor. You go near to him, and he says: "i fell down a hole... now i can't get up... go on without me... wait, ghosts can fly, can't they... oh well...". Napstablook disappears. You go back to the big corridor. In which hole do you want to fall now?
[[Fall in the first hole]]
[[Fall in the second hole]]
[[Fall in the third hole]]
[[Fall in the fourth hole]]
[[Fall in the fifth hole]]
[[Fall in the sixth hole]]
You fall down the sixth hole. You found another Vegetoid.
Vegetoid came out of the Earth! What will you do?
[[Attack Vegetoid]]
[[Interact with Vegetoid]]
[[Show mercy]]
You attack Napstablook again. You keep fighting him but, when you think that he is about to die, he says: "umm... you do know you cant kill ghosts, right? we're sorta incorporeal and all"
"I was just lowering my HP because I didnt want to be rude"
"sorry... I just made this more awkward...pretend you to beat me... oooooooo". Napstablook disappears.
YOU WON!
You lost 1 experience point.
Now you are free to keep going. Now you can go in two rooms: the one in front of you, and the one at your left. Where do you want to go?
[[Go in the room in front of you]]
[[Go in the room at your left]]
You decide to ignore the carrot and go back to the corridor. "I always hated vegetables" you think. In which hole you want to fall?
[[Fall in the first hole]]
[[Fall in the second hole]]
[[Fall in the third hole]]
[[Fall in the fourth hole]]
[[Fall in the fifth hole]]
[[Fall in the sixth hole]]
"I hate vegetables but hey, is this or the spider cakes." You approach the carrot to pick it up, but she attacks you.

[[Attack Vegetoid]]
[[Interact with Vegetoid]]

"Of course here even vegetables try to kill you! Now i'm gonna b-EAT you! Eheheheheh... stop talking. More fighting!" You attack Vegetoid. He now starts to attack pulling you white vegetables. What will you do now?

[[Interact with Vegetoid]]

"I would like some carrot pie now..." You pat your stomach. Vegetoid offers you a healthy meal. He now starts to attack pulling you white vegetables. He also pulls one green vegetable. You pick that, and your HP is now restored to max. Seem that you can finally spare Vegetoid. What will you do?

You go behind the first column, and you find the blue switch. You press it, then you hear a clicking sound. The spikes go down and you are free to go to the next room. In this new room, there is a sign who says: "If you can read this, press the red switch". Behind which pillar you want to go?
[[The first column]]
[[The second column]]
[[The third column]]
There isn't the blue switch.
[[Go behind the first pillar]]
[[Go behind the second pillar]]

You try to press the switch, but before you could do anything, a hole opens under you, and you fell down in another room. You go back to the room you were before. Which switch you want to press?
[[Go behind the first pillar]]
[[Go behind the second pillar]]
[[Go behind the third pillar]]
You press the red switch. You hear a clicking sound. The spikes go down and you are free to go to the next room. In this new room there is a sign who says: "If you can hear this, press the green switch". Now two columns cover two switches, green and red.
Which switch you want to press?

[[The one behind the right column]]
There isn't the red switch.
[[Go behind the first pillar]]

You press the switch behind the left column. You hear a clicking sound. The spikes went down, and you are now free to go to the next room. Now you are at a crossroad: you can choose to go to the door on the left or the door in front of you. Where do you want to go?
[[Go to the room at your left]]
[[Go to the room in front of you]]
There isn't the green switch.
You press the switch behind the left column. You hear a clicking sound. The spikes went down, and you are now free to go to the next room. Now you are at a crossroad: you can choose to go to the door on the left or the door in front of you. Where do you want to go?
[[Go into the room at your left]]
[[Go to the room in front of you]]
In this room there is a Froggit and a door that conduces to an other room. Talk to the Froggit or go to the next room?
[[Go into the room]]
[[Talk to Froggit]]
You go into the room. From there, you have a beautiful view of a castle. You go back to the crossroad, and this time you go to the room at your left. You see a big, old, black tree. Every time this old tree grows any leaves, they fall right off. "Oh dear, that took longer than i thought it would". You hear Toriel's voice. "How did you get here, my child? Are you hurt? Not a scratch... impressive! But still... I should not have left you alone for so long."
"Aaaaaaand, the prize for best mother of 201X goes toooooo...TORIEL!!! For: leaving a hungry child alone in this place full of monsters. And puzzles. And passive-aggressive flowers that wants to kill everything that breathes. Congrats, Toriel, this time I am proud of you. Seriously, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?"
"It was irresponsible to try to surprise you like this. Err... well, I suppos I cannot hide it any longer. Come, small one!". Toriel goes away, and you follow her to her house. "Do you smell that?" says Toriel. "Surprise! It is a butterscotch-cinnamon pie. I thought we might celebrate your arrival. I want you to have a nice time living here. So i will hold off on snail pie for tonight. Here, I have another surprise for you". Toriel goes in the right corridor. You can go to her, or you could check the other rooms of her house. You can go downstairs, or to the living room. Where do you want to go?
[[Follow Toriel to the corridor]]
[[Go downstairs]]
[[Go to the living room]]
The Froggit says: "Ribbit, ribbit. (Just between you and me... I saw Toriel come out of here just a little while ago. She was carrying some groceries. I didn't ask what they were for... We're all too intimidated to talk to her.) Ribbit."
"Hmmm... I wonder what's down here. From a person like Toriel, I could expect everything." You decide to go downstairs. You found a long corridor that lend to somewhere, but before you could walk to the end of it, Toriel stops you. "Hey, do not go down here. I have somerhing to show you upstairs". She takes you back to the room you were before. Where do you want to go now?
[[Follow Toriel to the corridor]]
[[Go to the living room]]
You go to the living room. There is a big table, an armchair, the chimney, and a shelf full of books. There is a room that lends to the kitchen. You want to go check the shelf or go to the kitchen?
[[Go check the shelf]]
[[Go to the kitchen]]
You follow Toriel to the corridor. "This is it..." she says, then she takes your hand and brings you to a room. "A room of your own. I hope you like it!". Toriel pats your head. "Is something burning...? Um, make yourself at home!". She runs to the kitchen. You are free to see the corridor or see your room. What do you want to do?
[[See your room]]
[[See the corridor]]
You go check the shelf. You found a history book. Here's a random page... "Trapped behind the barrier and fearful of further human attacks, we retreated. Far, far into the earth we walked, until we reached the cavern's end. This was our new home, which we named..."Home". As great as our king is, he is pretty lousy at names".
[[Follow Toriel to the corridor]]
[[Go to the kitchen]]
You go to the kitchen searching for something to eat. For some reason, there is a brand-name chocolate bar in the fridge. You eat that, but you are still hungry. There is some white fur stuck in the drain. Inside the cup board are cookie cutters for gingerbread monsters. There is a butterscotch-cinnamon pie. What a nice smell... to hot to eat, though. The stovetop is very clean. Toriel must use fire magic instead.
[[Go to the living room]]
[[Go check the shelf]]
[[Follow Toriel to the corridor]]
You enter in your room. It's quite big. There is a box of kids' shoes in a disparity of sizes, a really dusty empty photo frame, and a toy box. Look at these cool toys! They don't interest you at all. Wanna sleep in your bed?
[[Go to sleep]]
[[Don't go to sleep]]
You decide to see the corridor. You see a plant. You have seen this type of plant before but do not know its name. There is door. Stay in the corridor or go in the room?
[[Go in the room]]
[[Stay in the corridor]]
You go in the room. You find out that is Toriel's room. There is a shelf, a drawer, a desk and a cactus. On the desk there is a book, and seems that something is circled. What will you do?
[[Check the book on the desk]]
[[Check the bed]]
[[Check the shelf]]
[[Check the cactus]]
[[Check the drawer]]
[[Exit the room]]
You continue to walk down the corridor. You see a drawer, and inside it there are flower seeds and some broken crayons. You see a room with a cartel on the door which says: "Room under renovations." There is a mirror. You could see your reflection.
It's Toriel's diary. Read the circled passage?
[[Read Toriel's diary]]
It's definitely bigger than a twin-sized bed. "I would have chosen BEDder sheets!"
"...maybe I should stay here in the Ruins, so that nobody will hear my terrible puns."
You see an encyclopedia of subterranean plants. You open to the middle...
"Typha" - A group of wetland flowering plants with brown, oblong seedpods. Known more commonly as "water sausages."
Ah, the cactus. Truly the most tsundere of plants.
"Hey Thor, wanna hear a joke?"
Sure, kid. Go on.
"If there is the cactUS, there is also the cactTHEM?"
...that was terrible.
"I'm glad you liked it."
You peek inside... scandalous!
It's Toriel's sock drawer.
You exit the room and continue to walk down the corridor. You see a drawer, and inside it there are flower seeds and some broken crayons. You see a room with a cartel on the door which says: "Room under renovations." There is a mirror. You could see your reflection.
You read the passage...
"Why did the skeleton want a friend? Because she was feeling BONELY..."
The rest of the page is filled with a ton of jokes of a similar caliber.
A SKELE-ton.
"Damn it Thor!"
Hey, what's wrong? You didn't like the joke?
"I hated it."
Ok, ok...
"After all I've been through, I deserve a nap." You go to sleep. When you wake up, you find a butterscotch-cinnamon pie slice on a plate on the floor. Finally, you're replete. You walk out the door and go in the living room. You see Toriel on the armchair reading a book. "Up already, I see?" she says. "Um, I want you to know how glad I am to have someone else here. There are so many old books I want to share. I want to show you my favourite bug-hunting spot. I've also prepared a curriculum for your education. This may come as a surprise to you... but I have always wanted to be a teacher... actually, perhaps that isn't very surprising. STILL. I am glad to have you living here. Oh, did you want something? What is it?" What do you want to ask?
[[When can I go home?]]
You decide to don't sleep. You walk out the door and go in the living room. You see Toriel on the armchair reading a book. "Hello there, little one!" she says. "The pie has not cooled down yet. Perhaps you should take a nap."
"I don't want to sleep, I want to go home!"
"What? This... this IS your home now. Um... would you like to hear about this book I am reading? It's called 72 Uses for Snails. How about it?"
[[Ask how to exit the RUINS]]
"I don't care about your snails facts. I only want to go home."
"Um... how about an exciting snail fact? Did you know that snails... sometimes flip their digestive systems as they mature? Interesting."
[[Ask how to exit the RUINS again]]
"Don't shilly-shally, Toriel. Why are you keeping me here? Is there something you're hiding from me?"
"... I have to do something. Stay here." Toriel runs away from the living room, and you follow her. Probably she went downstairs, so you decide to go there. In fact, just go down the stairs, you can find Toriel front of you, blocking the road. You go near to her. "You wish to know how to return home, do you not? Ahead of us lies the end of the RUINS. A one-way exit to the rest of the underground. I am going to destroit it. No one will ever be able to leave again. Now be a good child and go upstairs."
"Are you serious? You want to trap me under here? Forever?" Toriel goes to the other side of the corridor, and you make the good choice of following her. "Every human that falls down here meets the same fate. I have seen it again and again. They come. They leave. They die. You naive child... If you leave the RUINS... they... ASGORE... will kill you. I am only protecting you, do you understand?... go to your room."
"The only place i'm going right now is my home. My REAL home." Toriel keeps going to the end of the Ruins. "Do not try to stop me." says her with a menacious tone. "This is your final warning." You follow her to the end of the corridor. Toriel's now in front of a big door, probably it's the exit from the Ruins. "You want to leave so badly?" says her. "Hmph. You are just like the others. There is only one solution to this. Prove yourself... prove to me you are strong enough to survive." What do you want to do?
[[Attack Toriel]]
[[Interact with Toriel]]
[[Spare Toriel]]
"You shall not prevent me from leaving. I will go from here, whatever the cost!" You attack Toriel. They appeared two pair of paws in the sky, forming two arches of fireballs that come towards you. What will you do?
[[Attack Toriel again]]
[[Interact with Toriel]]
You have two choices:
[[Check Toriel]]
[[Try to talk with Toriel]]
TORIEL - ATK 80 DEF 80
Knows best for you.
They appeared two pair of paws in the sky, forming two arches of fireballs that come towards you. What will you do?
[[Attack Toriel]]
[[Interact with Toriel]]
You couldn't think of any converstaion topics. Now Toriel starts attacking sending you fireballs. What will you do now?
[[Attack Toriel]]
[[Interact with Toriel]]
"Toriel, stop it. I don't want to fight you."
Toriel says nothing. What will you do?
[[Attack Toriel]]
[[Interact with Toriel]]
[[Spare Toriel again]]
"Toriel, listen! Stop attacking me! I don't want to fight you!"
Toriel is still silent. Now Toriel starts attacking sending you fireballs. What will you do now?
[[Attack Toriel]]
[[Interact with Toriel]]
[[Keep sparing Toriel]]
"TORIEL STOP FIGHTING DAMN YOU!"
You decide to continue sparing Toriel. At first she keeps not talking to you, but after a bit, she begins to talk to you. "...? What are you doing? Attack or run away! What are you proving this way?" Now she stopped attacking you. What will you do?
[[Spare Toriel for the last time]]
[[Attack her]]
Just when she least expects it, you give one, powerful attack to Toriel. She is now about to die. "You... ...at my most vulnerable moment... to think I was worried you wouldn't fit out there... eheheheh!!!"
"Sorry ma'am, but as I learned, here in the Ruins, is KILL or BE KILLED."
"You are no different than them! Ha... ha..."
Toriel is dead.
You are now free to leave the Ruins. After walking for a long corridor, you get to the exit but, surprisingly, you see Flowey. "I hope you like your choice. After all, it's not as if you can go back and change fate. In this world, it's kill or be killed."
"She learned it... at her own price."
"That old hag thought she could break the rules. She tried so hard to save you humans. But when it came down to it... hee hee... SHE COULDN'T EVEN SAVE HERSELF. WHAT AN IDIOT!!" Flowey now goes away. You cross the arch to the exit, and you get surrounded by a white light...
The child entered the Ruins as an innocent child, but it came out with his hands covered in blood. After accepting that in that world, "or you killed or you were killed", he betrayed the only one person who had tried, in vain, to be kind to him.
And that's your fault.
The child had begged him not to kill anybody you, but you did not give him a straight. You forced him to backstab the only good-hearted person in that world. Yet you have not thought of, right? You thought "but this is just a game."
Toriel did not deserve to make that end.
The child did not deserve to make that end.
I hope you like what you've done.
You evil monster.

"Fight me or leave! Stop it. Stop looking me that way."
"There's no need for fighting. We can talk as civil people."
"I know you want to go go home, but... but please... go upstairs now. I promise I will take good care of you here. I know we do not have much, but... we can have a good life here. Why are you making this so difficult? Please, go upstairs."
"But Toriel... this is not my place. I have to go back to my home, to my parents, to my friends. They are probably worried right know.
"Ha ha... pathetic, is it not? I cannot save even a single child. No, I understand. You would just be unhappy trapped down there. The Ruins are very small once you get used to them. It would not be right for you to grow up in a place like this. My expectations... my loneliness... my fear... for you, my child... i will put them aside."
"If you truly wish to leave the Ruins... I will not stop you. However, when you leave... please do not come back. I hope you understand." Before giving you her last salute, Toriel hugs you. "Goodbye, my child."
"Goodbye, Toriel. Sorry if I misbehaved with you. I'll never forget you." Toriel goes back to her house, and you are now free to leave the Ruins. After walking for a long corridor, you get to the exit but, surprisingly, you see Flowey. "Clever. Verrrryyy clever. You think you're really smart, don't you? In this world, it's kill or be killed. So you were able to play by your own rules."
"That's not real. I came here without killing anybody, but simply talking. Some people choose to fight beacuse is more simple than talking."
"Hee hee hee... I bet you feel really great. But what will you do if you meet a relentless killer? You'll die and you'll die and you'll die. Until you tire of trying. What will you do then? Will you kill out of frustation? Or will you give up entirely on this world... and let ME inherit the power to control it?"
"I don't know what i'll do, but I will sure try to talk before fighting."
"I am the prince of this world's future. Don't worry, my little monarch, my plan isn't regicide. This is SO much more interesting." Flowey now goes away. You cross the arch to the exit, and you get surrounded by a white light...
The child who entered the Ruins did not give up the vile rule of "kill or be killed." Indeed, he spared each person he met on his way, teaching the inhabitants of the Ruins to use before the brain, and then the hands.
And this thanks to you.
You had pity on the little innocent child who begged you to let him live, and not to let him become a monster. It's only thanks to you who managed to come out unscathed from the ruins.
Although this is just a game, you have thought what would be the right thing to do, and you've decided wisely.
Thank you.

"Oh come on! Is that all you've got? Then kill you will going to be easy!" You attack Toriel again. They appeared two pair of paws in the sky, forming two arches of fireballs that come towards you. What will you do?
[[Keep attacking Toriel]]
[[Interact with Toriel]]
You keep attacking Toriel, until she is about to die. "Urgh... you are stronger than i thought..."
"Sorry ma'am, but as I learned, here in the Ruins, is KILL or BE KILLED."
"Listen to me, small one... if you go beyond this door, keep walking as far as you can. Eventually you will reach an exit."
... ....
"Asgore... do not let Asgore take your soul. His plan cannot be allowed to succeed."
......
"Be good, won't you?"
"My child."
Toriel is dead.
You are now free to leave the Ruins. After walking for a long corridor, you get to the exit but, surprisingly, you see Flowey. "I hope you like your choice. After all, it's not as if you can go back and change fate. In this world, it's kill or be killed."
"She learned it... at her own price."
"That old hag thought she could break the rules. She tried so hard to save you humans. But when it came down to it... hee hee... SHE COULDN'T EVEN SAVE HERSELF. WHAT AN IDIOT!!" Flowey now goes away. You cross the arch to the exit, and you get surrounded by a white light...
The child entered the Ruins as an innocent child, but it came out with his hands covered in blood. After accepting that in that world, "or you killed or you were killed", he killed the one person who had tried, in vain, to be kind to him.
And that's your fault.
The child had begged him not to kill anybody you, but you did not give him a straight. You did to kill a poor old goat, the only good-hearted person in that world. Yet you have not thought of, right? You thought "but this is just a game."
Toriel did not deserve to make that end.
The child did not deserve to make that end.
I hope you like what you've done.
You monster.

You see a big, old, black tree. Every time this old tree grows any leaves, they fall right off. "Oh dear, that took longer than i thought it would". You hear Toriel's voice. "How did you get here, my child? Are you hurt? Not a scratch... impressive! But still... I should not have left you alone for so long. It was irresponsible to try to surprise you like this. Err... well, I suppos I cannot hide it any longer. Come, small one!". Toriel goes away, and you follow her to her house. "Do you smell that?" says Toriel. "Surprise! It is a butterscotch-cinnamon pie. I thought we might celebrate your arrival. I want you to have a nice time living here. So i will hold off on snail pie for tonight. Here, I have another surprise for you". Toriel goes in the right corridor. You can go to her, or you could check the other rooms of her house. You can go downstairs, or to the living room. Where do you want to go?
[[Follow Toriel to the corridor]]
[[Go downstairs]]
[[Go to the living room]]
