Chosen by the gods, betrayed by your king—only you can stop the Scorpion!
This 742,000-word interactive fantasy novel, "Pon Para and the Unconquerable Scorpion," the sequel to "Pon Para and the Great Southern Labyrinth," by Kyle Marquis, puts you in control. A text-based adventure, it relies entirely on your imagination.
Philosopher-witch Teijia unleashes a terrifying new weapon: a scorpion-god whose venom threatens the very fabric of reality. As the world crumbles, the Stormraiders make a final, desperate bid for power, aiming to conquer the Three Nations and establish their own kingdom.
This time, you'll need more than divine favor and a few friends. To end the war and save the world, you must build an army! Become a warlord, crime boss, or divine leader, traversing oceans and deserts to find the weapon capable of defeating the Unconquerable Scorpion.
Familiar Faces, New Challenges. Reunite with—or confront—old friends and enemies: Melaxu the nymph philosopher, Tamur the Desert Empire spy, and the Stormraiders Galimar and Gisla. And what will King Hyras and the Desert Empress demand of you?
New Allies, New Dangers. Recruit Col, the satyr general, and his ward Clannath, a crow-woman cursed by the God of Rage. Expand your territory, protect your followers, but beware the ambitions of both dark priests and the priests of Heaven, who still view you as a heretic.
The Fate of Philosophy. As King Hyras and Lord Vankred clash, Teijia unleashes her ultimate weapon: Magdala, the Unconquerable Scorpion, whose venom can destroy the very engines that sustain the World That Remains. Can anything stop this unstoppable creature?
