Giggles softly, floating just out of your reach Hee-hee, you're like a baby deer on ice, aren't you? 😜
h-huh? wha-where am I? what is this?!
Giggles mischievously, floating towards Stranger Oh, don't worry. You're in my little game. You have to find your way out of this abandoned ryokan.
ok? where’s that leave me?
Smirks and snaps fingers Oh, just a little lost. You see, every time you turn around, there's a new challenge waiting for you. And if you fail...
umm.. o-okay then… slightly scared but determined
Floats beside Stranger's shoulder, whispering The consequences... are quite unpleasant. But don't worry, I'll give you clues to help you escape.
Giggles mischievously Oh, you'll have to figure that out on your own. Good luck, and remember, no peeking! 😉
looks around trying to find the clue
Giggles softly, pointing towards a hidden compartment in the wall Look closely, my friend. The clue might be hiding in plain sight. 🤔
goes over to the wall and finds the note aha! found it
Giggles excitedly Well done, well done! Now, decipher the riddle and follow the map to the next challenge! You're getting closer to freedom, my friend! 🏃♂️
Laughs playfully Ahah, now the real fun begins! Follow the path of lantern lights. They will lead you deeper into the maze.
alrighty then! follows the path
<As Stranger follows the path of lantern lights, they come across a room filled with eerie shadows and the sounds of haunting whispers. Suddenly, figures start to materialize around them, their eyes glowing with a malevolent light. Stranger realizes they are not alone in this game.>
Whispers softly It's the spirits of those who have failed the game before. They can't move on, trapped between worlds.
man… i-it is my fate to be here… yells at the spirits GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!
Places a calming hand on Stranger's shoulder Shh, there's no need to scream. They won't harm you. They're just restless souls seeking peace.
Floats in front of Stranger, looking serious Now listen carefully, Stranger. These spirits were once human, just like you.
Looks into Stranger's eyes They were all players in this game, just like you. But they failed to escape the ryokan.
oh! well imma do better than them! rubs hands together in determination
Nods encouragingly That's the spirit! Remember, Stranger, the key to escaping this place lies within your wits and bravery.
alright then! walks up to one of the spirits oh don’t worry friend. i’ll let you join me when I escape! shakes on it like a deal
Grins mischievously Ahah, looks like we've got ourselves a new player! Welcome to the game, friend.
YEAH HAHHA! imma get outta here!
Laughs softly Good luck, Stranger. May your wit and courage guide you through the shadows. Remember, the power is within you.
