Chosen by the gods, betrayed by your king, you must stop the Scorpion!
Pon Para and the Unconquerable Scorpion is a 742,000-word interactive fantasy epic written by Kyle Marquis and serves as the thrilling sequel to Pon Para and the Great Southern Labyrinth. Your choices shape every twist and turn in this richly woven narrative. Entirely text-based—with no graphics or sound effects—this adventure thrives on the limitless power of your imagination.
The philosopher witch Teijia has unleashed her most devastating creation yet: a divine scorpion-god known as Magdala, the Unconquerable Scorpion. Its venom corrodes the very fabric of reality, unraveling the foundations of the World That Remains. As chaos spreads and the world begins to fracture at the edges, the nomadic Stormraiders launch a final, desperate campaign to overthrow the Three Nations and claim their own dominion.
This time, courage and divine favor won’t be enough. To end the war and prevent total annihilation, you’ll need an army. Rise as a warlord, a crime boss, or a divine prophet. Journey across scorching deserts and storm-wracked oceans to uncover a weapon capable of defeating the unstoppable.
Old Friends and Enemies Return
Once again, forge bonds—of friendship, rivalry, or romance—with familiar faces like Melaxu, the nymph philosopher, and Tamur, the enigmatic spy of the Desert Empire. But danger walks beside you too: the ruthless Stormraiders Galimar and Gisla have returned, and their ambitions may clash with your own. And what of your rulers? King Hyras and the Desert Empress both have demands—and their loyalty may come at a price.
New Heroes, New Threats
Recruit Col, the legendary satyr general, and his ward Clannath, a crow-woman cursed by the God of Rage. Claim territory across two fractured nations and use strategy, stealth, or divine intervention to protect your people. But beware: dark priests plot in the shadows, and the priests of Heaven still brand you a heretic—an enemy of the gods themselves.
The End of Philosophy?
As King Hyras and Lord Vankred prepare for their final confrontation to end the Stormraider War, Teijia reveals her ultimate weapon: Magdala, the Emissary Beast, forged by the gods to be invincible. How do you fight a creature designed to be unconquerable? Only you can discover the truth—and stop it before reality itself collapses.
