[You are on a path in the woods, trying to get home before nightfall.
It's not safe to be in the woods at night.
You come to a fork in the road.
Do you go [[left]] or [[right]]?](bg: #014421)
[The left path winds through a thicket of trees and undergrowth. Vines snag your feet.
As you walk through a particularly large section of undergrowth, you hear a wolf howling nearby. You know you don’t have long before it approaches.
Do you [[run for it]], or go [[carefully]]?]
(bg: #014421)
[The right path leads through a large, bubbling swamp. The stench is overwhelming, and clouds of flies buzz over it.
Do you go [[through the swamp]], or take the [[long way around]]?](bg: #014421)
[You run for it, hoping to put some distance between you and the wolf. Thorns tear through your clothes and [[skin]].](bg: #014421)
[You tread carefully through the undergrowth, mindful of the wolf getting closer but not wanting to risk falling.
Slowly, carefully, you make your way through the thicket, clothes torn but unharmed.
Behind you, you hear the wolf getting closer. Do you [[bargain]] with the wolf, or [[climb a tree]]?]
(bg: #014421)
[This is not a fairytale and wolves cannot be bargained with.
The wolf eats you.
Return to [[beginning]].]
(bg: #014421)
[You scramble up the nearest tree, jaws snapping at your heels, pulling yourself up to a branch high enough and sturdy enough to keep you safe.
Below, the wolf circles the tree, growling, eyes locked on you.
The sun sets. The wolf stays. Patient. [[Waiting.]]](bg: #014421)
[You might be safe from the wolf but you’re not safe from the woods, and the dark now surrounds you.
The woods envelop you, and you die.
Return to [[beginning]].](bg: #014421)
[You wade into the swamp, the mud coming up to your knees. Movement is slow, arduous.
Soon, the mud is up to your thighs, then to your waist. Before long it’s at your chest and still rising. You’re not even halfway across.
The swamp swallows you.
Return to [[beginning]].](bg: #014421)
[You take the detour, hoping it won’t be too far.
Soon you come to a clearing. Snuffling about in the undergrowth is an enormous pig. It doesn’t seem aggressive yet, but it’s moving back and forth across the path in front of you.
Do you [[wait]] for the pig to leave, or [[walk past it]]?](bg: #014421)
[You wait, hoping the pig will leave of its own accord.
It doesn’t.
It continues snuffling around, taking no notice of you.
[[You wait.]]](bg: #014421)
[You stride towards the pig. Hearing you approach, it looks up, fixing its gaze on you. Then, with a squeal, it charges.
[[Run.]]](bg: #014421)
[The sun sets. The sky darkens.
The woods claim you.
Return to [[beginning]].](bg: #014421)
[You run. Surely you can outpace a pig?
But the pig is fast, barrelling into you and knocking you off your feet.
The pig eats you.
Return to [[beginning]].](bg: #014421)
[Suddenly, your feet catch in a root and you tumble to the ground. You try to stand but vines wrap around your limbs.
The plants devour you.
