Oscar: "Maybe something's in his pants? (laughs) Just kidding. He doesn't wear pants." <video controls autoplay> <source src="Twine/Stories/movie/ImpPuzzle.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> What a display. After watching the Imp, you decide to head back to the [[ARENA]].

Hector: "Oh cool! Check out the magical ink! This stuff is really rare, you know." <img src="Twine/Stories/gifs/PAPERPUZZLEFINAL.gif" alt="a magical piece of paper" /> After inspecting the piece of paper, you decide to return to the [[ARENA]]

Hector: "We found him gorging on orc bones when he was just a youngster. After that, the Devil made me put him in a cage." <video controls autoplay> <source src="Twine/Stories/movie/HydraPuzzle.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> The Hydra sure looks dangerous. You decide you don't want to spend anymore time with the monster (caged or not) and make your way back to the [[ARENA]].

Hector: "The Devil likes to burn Bibles for fun. I personally hate it though, because the Bibles scream whenever they're set on fire." <img src="Twine/Stories/images/PixBible.png" alt="a Bible on fire! what an atrocity" /> Bible: "KEEP YOUR LIVES FREE FROM THE LOVE OF MONEY... AND BE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE... BECAUSE GOD HAS SAID... 'NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOUUUUUU; NEVER WILL I FORSAKE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!'" 'What kind of __odd__ twisted freak burns Bibles for fun?' you wonder to yourself. After watching the Bible burn and listening to it scream, you decide to return to the [[ARENA]].

<<audio suspense stop>> <video controls autoplay> <source src="Twine/Stories/movie/Hellfiretrailer.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> First time playing? Read me! >>> [[GAME INSTRUCTIONS]] Already know how to play? Start investigating the [[ARENA]]

<<if $tries > 0>> <<audio suspense play>> <img src="Twine/Stories/images/Arena.png" alt="Hellfire Arena" /> Oscar: "Welcome to Hell's most happening place: the arena! Why don't you take a moment to get settled in, then take a look around?" In the far right corner, there appears to be a [[Dancing Imp]]. That's strange. You don't hear any music. What could it be dancing too? In the far left corner lies the Devil's favorite pet, the [[Hydra]]. It's jailed behind bars. You can hear it hissing, even from thirty feet away. Should you check it out? You hear some crackling noises to your left. Something's on fire... a [[Bible]]? You see a piece of Paper with some text on the floor to your right. Oscar: "Do me a favor and pick that piece of [[Paper]] up, would cha?" - Reread [[GAME INSTRUCTIONS]]. - Watch [[TRAILER|YES]] again. - Feeling confident? Why don't you check your [[CODE]]? <<else>> <<audio suspense stop>> [[GAME OVER]] <</if>>

Oscar: "Welcome to Hell! My name is Oscar, the Devil's secretary." <img src="Twine/Stories/images/OSCARFACE.png" alt="smiling Oscar" /> "So you want to escape? OK, (hahaha), listen closely. When you enter the [[ARENA]], you will find four puzzles: the Imp, the Hydra, the magical paper and a burning Bible. ''The answer to each of the puzzles is a single digit number.'' Once you have solved all four puzzles and have a code, you can check your code by entering it in the telephone. If you are correct, you escape! Yay! If your code is wrong, you get to stay with me! Also yay! By the way, you only have 10 tries, so use them wisely. Oh - and because I'm a nice guy, I'll give you a free hint: you might want to watch that trailer one or two more times... Good luck!

<<if $code is "3734">> <<audio suspense stop>> <<audio win play>> Oscar: "No way dude. You actually opened the lock. (deep sigh) Unbelievable. No one in the history of hell has ever done that!" <img src="Twine/Stories/images/ESCAPE.png" alt="YOU WIN" /> ''CONGRATULATIONS. YOU WIN!''" *Please email kevin.zhen@yale.edu so he can update the welcome screen.* <<else>> <<remember $tries -= 1>> <<print "You have $tries tries remaining">> <img src="Twine/Stories/images/OSCARFACE.png" alt="too bad" /> Hector: "Aww, that's too bad. Looks like your code was rejected. Just absolutely tragic. I recommend you go back to the [[ARENA]] and take another peek around. Or if you really want, you can always check your [[CODE]] again." - Want some [[Hints]]? <</if>>

<<if $tries gt 3>> Oscar: "You must be really desperate to come to me. Sure, I'll give you a hint, but it'll cost you - three tries to be exact." 1. [[paper]] 2. [[hydra]] 3. [[imp]] 4. [[bible]] <<else>> Oscar: "Sorry kiddo. You need <strong>at least</strong> 4 tries to play. You should use the ones you have left wisely." - Return to the [[ARENA]] feeling sad <</if>> <<print "You have $tries tries remaining">>

<<remember $tries -= 3>> Oscar: "There's a really popular Jackson 5 song that might help you out... I forget the name though." - Return to [[Hints]] page - Head back to the [[ARENA]] with new knowledge. <<print "You have $tries tries remaining">>

<<remember $tries -= 3>> Oscar: "Sorry, bud. Can't offer much help on this one. None of the workers in Hell really what the Hydra's trying to say either - it's almost like the Hydra communicates in some sort of __code__." - Return to [[Hints]] page - Head back to the [[ARENA]] with new knowledge. <<print "You have $tries tries remaining">>

<<remember $tries -= 3>> "That dancing imp - he's doing something funky with his arms... I'd take a closer look at those steps too." - Return to [[Hints]] page - Head back to the [[ARENA]] with new knowledge. <<print "You have $tries tries remaining">>

<<remember $tries -= 3>> Oscar: "Out of all the quotes in the Bible, and it just chose to scream this one. I wonder what's so special about it - maybe try looking it up?" - Return to [[Hints]] page - Head back to the [[ARENA]] with new knowledge. <<print "You have $tries tries remaining">>

<<audio gameover play>> <img src="Twine/Stories/gifs/FIREFINAL.gif" alt="a magical piece of paper" /> It was a good effort. The telephone freezes up. Oscar reaches out and grabs you by the shoulder. Oscar: "Looks like you'll be spending next couple of eons with me. Hell's not so bad though. And I'll tell you what - if you behave, you can even make some puzzles with me! It's fun trapping young dumb souls like yourselves in eternal agony. It's my only entertainment, you know." GAME OVER

<<set $tries to "10">> Created by Kevin Zhen ES '16 <img src="Twine/Stories/images/Title.png" alt="Title" /> To date, 3 people have completed this game. Are you up for the challenge? [[YES]] *Notes from Kevin: "Don't use the back button! That's cheating!" "If you beat the game in under 30 minutes, email kevin.zhen@yale.edu and he'll treat you to dinner."
