Unyielding Fury
by Michael Pruitt

In this short introduction to a horror game, you play as a 13-year-old boy dreaming of running in the dark forest. You feel you belong there. You find a glowing stone, and soon afterwards, a huge werewolf.

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

SPOILERS AHEAD. Reading a walkthrough prematurely can sometimes diminish one's enjoyment of a work of interactive fiction. Please make an honest effort to play the work before reading this walkthrough.

Map

Sometimes going north from Dark Forest leads to the Darkness location, but sometimes you just get the "You're starting to truly feel lost!" message instead. Therefore, I believe there are multiple locations in the forest, but without trash items to map with, it's impossible for me to make a truly accurate map.

Walkthrough

It's the end of your 13th birthday. Missing your father, under the light of a full moon, you dream of running in the forest.

Dark Forest

All directions are not alike.

> e. e. e. e. (You're missing something?)

> look. (There's a glowing stone here.)

> x stone. take it.

> n.

Darkness

With the stone's light, you see this is a dead end.

> s. (The way out is blocked by a werewolf.)

> x werewolf.

> ask werewolf about werewolf.

> show stone to werewolf.

> throw stone at werewolf —or— hit werewolf.

It attacks you and tears you apart. You black out and awaken in...

Front Lawn

> x me. i. x body.

You wait for the police to arrive.

*** This ending is but the beginning. ***

Extras

Characters

You are the 13-year-old boy protagonist.
A werewolf, seven feet tall and with the blackest fur, blocks your way back out of the darkness.

Found dead:

The body of your mother is on the front lawn, clearly the victim of a vicious animal attack.

Mentioned:

Friends were at your birthday party.
Your father is absent. It's not said whether he left or died.
Other animals are in the forest.
The police sirens are approaching at the end.

Inventory

a glowing stone. After running for four turns east in the dark forest, find it by just looking. If it's not there, go east again.

Just hold onto it. It's what let's you find the werewolf in the Darkness location.
You may throw the stone at the werewolf, but you can just hit the beast instead.
I'd call the stone a moonstone, but the game doesn't recognize that word.
