Key & Compass presents:
Because you're mine
by Owlor

Because you're mine is a Glulx interactive fiction game written with Inform 7 and is © 2016 by Owlor. It was an entry in La Petite Mort division of Ectocomp 2016 where it took 7th place.

You play as a Horse, the dominant species on this planet. Your lover was unfaithful, so you plan to use a Rootwork ritual to ensnare him to you forever. Most of the ingredients you'll need are in the swamp north of Creola.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
