The sound of dripping water wakes you up. <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/d0476158d9de6f08fe9d2351002157a9/131aa2116371bf72-f2/s2048x3072/56c5aa7adb39edf8d0d63bc58333fe889b450cea.jpg"> [[Stand up]]

You notice a hole in the wall. It´s not very dark, there is a hint of light at the end of the passage. <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/df4325d1f0538909e180152d811d626c/3195fe6a2116fe25-54/s2048x3072/426379cffaa44579ab4854da48badf0ffe29209c.jpg"> [[Go through->Central room 1]]

You entered a big round room. There are three doorways in front of you. From the entrance on the left, you can hear a muffled sound of painful cries. The middle one is completely dark, you can only see a couple of inches of cold stone walls. The arc above is covered with ancient symbols. The one on the right is not so dark as light shines through the damaged ceiling. You decide to go... <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/ec508df87fa74e6521c47ce77ef23090/502a5946ca1bbff8-6e/s2048x3072/88cf95b9861ecfb58633b8479d2a736928712bcc.jpg"> [[Left->Moaning room Death]] [[Straight->Dark passage Death]] [[Right->Sword passage 1]]

As you enter the room behind the passage you catch unwanted attention of a group of demonic beasts. As you have bare hands running away is your only option. But beasts are faster and rip and tear you apart... <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/5e017e031c81633284db8c04ed52a54b/897dd312137177f8-78/s2048x3072/6ee7984b80b68ad1f30e197a5fc24e30b93f68a7.jpg"> [[Try again->Intro]] [[Credits->Credits]]

You stepped into the darkness. You are trying to hold on the wall but after a while, it ends. Just a couple of steps and you are slipping from the edge and falling. The sound of your broken neck is carried through the cave as you land... <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/5e017e031c81633284db8c04ed52a54b/897dd312137177f8-78/s2048x3072/6ee7984b80b68ad1f30e197a5fc24e30b93f68a7.jpg"> [[Try again->Intro]] [[Credits->Credits]]

You are in another round room. It is not so big this time. Walls are covered by an enormous number of blind windows reminiscent of the lost souls. In the centre of the room, you can see a large sword. You are slowly approaching it. <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/b40267592677e5a964eaf5ac1fbd07a8/e639e6fd6fd75187-b5/s2048x3072/107801ccdf53b9544f6b0600cbbb52138d25dec0.jpg"> [[Grab the sword->Central room 2]]

You returned to the previous room with the sword in your hand. It is heavy but in a very good condition. You can´t still see anything in the middle entrance. The weird sounds are still coming from the left one too. You decide to... <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/8fafb82292e1c7cbb3d5e94e4a41e298/67b01ad760e6f59d-76/s2048x3072/c9acc13455b5e49ff2f203e92dc8a2571a903749.jpg"> [[Take the left one->Moaning room 1]] [[Go straight->Dark passage Death]]

As you enter the room behind the passage the attention of a group of demonic beasts is on you. They are growling and preparing for the attack. Luckily, equipped with a sword, you are ready to kill. You can step down directly to the centre or use the elevated spot on the side of the room... <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/f06ba291b74f3f12bb8e11045ef58cb0/6ec6e1cb448c0e01-a8/s2048x3072/493d97b7e3c93f32766a1cbdfcf3a07021ff3e75.jpg"> [[Step down stairs->MR Death 2]] [[Take high ground->MR Fight]]

As you are approaching the centre of the room, you realize that the beasts are starting to surround you. You are trying to fight, but attacks from all directions are just too much to handle. They rip and tear you apart quickly... <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/5e017e031c81633284db8c04ed52a54b/897dd312137177f8-78/s2048x3072/6ee7984b80b68ad1f30e197a5fc24e30b93f68a7.jpg"> [[Try again->Intro]] [[Credits->Credits]]

As beasts can attack you only from two directions you fight them back successfully. It certainly wasn´t easy, but it looks like you've got them all. You can safely pass to the next room... <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/6cd904a6d40d5f068f4cabb50e35b49a/64aedbf6122c8151-54/s2048x3072/36e79bd806f790d750208b4c5e406327f54c8893.jpg"> [[Walk in->Gold Room Choose]]

The room you have entered is full of gold. Coins, necklaces, rings - all lighted by a bright lamp. What do you do? <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/15d43484038a414ac9740f3df7f54e37/11a141c4936cd5e7-82/s2048x3072/86eee52fa3966f995236dd1af191fb45875bde86.jpg"> [[Take the gold->GR Death]] [[Take the lamp and gold->GR Death]] [[Take the lamp->Central room 3]]

You returned to the previous room. As you are crossing it, lonely beast sneaks out of shadows. Thanks to the lamp you notice it soon enough and kill it. The sun dipped below the horizon as you found your way back to the main room. The ancient symbols above the last passage started to glow in sinister red... <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/f24c09909aa44f728b7ebeaf551d14eb/051c3d070cc4afad-48/s2048x3072/907c34fcfa8245b9043a722469ba87de9ffa9835.jpg"> [[Walk in->Bridge]]

After a while, you reach a room with a deep abyss in the middle. The only way to the other side is to walk over the dangerously narrow bridge... <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/16b8b53474343cb6f806df5eec7d9351/db56dd5a53097b33-f1/s2048x3072/34774d20eac43d5aa03a2ce3591bf0ce22269fbf.jpg"> [[Carefully cross the bridge->Boss Room 1]]

A big wave of light gushed out of its eye. The creature is falling down with ear tearing scream. As you land safely on its body, it starts to turn into ash. After a while, only a little pile of ash remains after the whole creature... <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/9704d765f7dd7c81e4d1c5e42751387b/6daeddea586c4c0f-13/s2048x3072/61fbc93bb8808eedf122f58da3ab843fbfbc798e.jpg"> [[Examine the pile->Crystal]]

As you grab the crystal from the ashes, it sends chills through your whole body. You feel a painful grow in your bones. Your body doesn´t belong to you anymore.
