Hello, plucky adventurer. I am The Narrator, your helpfully sassy guide through this dungeon-crawling gamebook. Together, we'll explore the Ancient Forest Temple, fighting monsters, solving puzzles, uncovering secrets, and whatever else your imagination can add to the experience. All you'll need is a pencil, an eraser, maybe a sheet of paper, and this book, and we'll have lots of fun together (Yes, I do get paid to be here and narrate this, but the fun is real. Promise. I won't find you annoying at all.)

*THIS BOOK CONTAINS LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE, AND SUGGESTIVE THEMES, AS WELL AS REFERENCES TO CHILD ABUSE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, SEXUAL SLAVERY, AND ALCOHOLISM* Alex Peterson, aka Scar, doesn't know many details about his past. He doesn't know why two aliens took his mother away, he doesn't know why two other aliens killed his father, and he doesn't know how he got the scar on his face-the one that occasionally turns him into a murderous monster. He lives on the streets of Neetro City with his partner Christine Summers, and together, they steal the things they need to survive. But life as usual is disrupted when Alex is taken by a man in a suit and brought to the Assassination Police Department, who gives him an ultimatum: Join them and help to eliminate the dangerous people who terrorize Neetro City, or die. But what they don't know is that sometimes Alex is one of those "dangerous people". How long will he be able to keep that a secret?

*THIS BOOK CONTAINS SUGGESTIVE THEMES AND REFERENCES TO DRUG USE* One hundred people from fifty eligible planets have been abducted and taken to the Planet of Shadows-a patchwork planet consisting of pieces from each of those fifty planets. All these people and all these creatures, plants, and habitats have been assembled for one reason: survival. Charles McCoy is the boy who was abducted from Earth, taken away from his regular life and tasked with surviving on an alien world. He is told that everyone is here for an experiment and that the last survivor will be rewarded with passage back to their own world. But they are discouraged from killing, they are all humanoid, their speech is being universally translated, they must deal with the mysterious Events, and everyone is beginning to think that perhaps they haven't been told everything about why they are really here.
