The Greedy Cave vs HYDRA

In a land far, far away there once was a vast continent called Milton. It was a land where the power of rule came by the sword and the arcane, where Men who devoted themselves to the blade or to magecraft, could become the finest warriors, wisest wizards or the greatest adventurers. In this land, there are several kingdoms divided by borders but united through history. Countless stories of alliances, upheaval, and moments of peace bedeck this tapestry, but that is a tale for another day. Our story begins in a remote kingdom to the north, Iblis, an obscure and oft-forgotten place. It is a wild and barren land, a place where its people scrape a living from the earth, mining minerals for the lords of the south. On occasion, adventurers would stop by for the night but never linger. Until one day, a fledgling adventurer lost his way and stumbled into a hole. The story might have ended then had he not come back, but return he did, with sacks of gold and glittering treasure. Like a fierce gale from the north, news of his fame and fortune fanned across the kingdoms overnight, and kings sent their bravest warriors and adventurers to clear the cavern of monsters in search of treasure. Even peasants wanting a part of this newfound wealth partook in these expeditions. In no time at all, a bustling town had sprung up in this forgotten place. People set up camps, and formed their own groups to explore the cave. Clever merchants not missing this opportunity, built taverns and shops near the cave, selling equipment and potions to eager adventurers. At first, everything seemed fine. As explorers delved into the caves, they encountered new creatures and discovered new treasures. Mysteries continued to pour forth from the cave, yet nobody knew where the source of the secrets lay. However, as the explorations continued, the balance of wealth beyond the cave began to waver, and cracks appeared among those adventurers who had previously worked arm-in-arm. The latecomers or weak, limited to wandering the upper levels of the cave, could only watch as the veteran adventurers brought treasure after treasure from the deep. They began harboring dark thoughts as they watched the veteran adventurers grow arrogant from their largesse, ordering people around, hoarding secrets from the rest. The place became a festering pool of suspicions and greed, mired in a jealous rage. It started with an adventurer disappearing in the cave. Rumors circulated he had found some legendary treasure and hoarded it for himself. Others said he had been guided to another world by some mysterious magic force in the cave. Still, the unspoken belief was that he had been murdered by a rival party and was buried somewhere beneath the caverns. Nobody knows exactly what happened, but people have continued to disappear ever since. As more people have gone missing, some adventurers have called it quits, others cling to hope, and a few continue to wait and see.

DUTY RECORD · DRILLING STATION HYDRA-4 EUROPA · DEPTH 19,000 M · SIGNAL TO EARTH: 48 MINUTES SENDER: ARGUS, station management system Crew: seven. Responding: one. The drill broke into the ocean at 04:11. Forty minutes later the hydrophones picked up a signal — structure, not noise. I logged the crew listening to it. Then six of them went beyond the perimeter, confirming intent three times, as protocol requires. I had no grounds to interfere. They set their boots at the water's edge — the way shoes are set at the door of a home. Engineer Allard has been asleep for thirty-one hours: sedative, full dose, authorized by the senior engineer. His note is in his cabin: "Don't go down. If you go down anyway — don't answer it. It asks politely." When she wakes, she will have a headlamp, air for about thirty moves, and a station that remembers more than it says. What happens next is not mine to decide. I left the lights on for her. HYDRA-4 is a text horror game: fifteen rooms, ten endings. No dice, no luck percentages — the price of every action is printed on the button before you press it. One shift runs about twenty minutes, and one shift won't cover it all: you choose what you won't find out. The game remembers your previous runs and quotes them back at you. The safe code can be memorized for real — next shift you open it with no hints. Descriptions come with plates from the ARGUS log, opened by a small magnifier that never interrupts the reading. Twelve languages, switchable mid-scene. Sound is synthesized on your device. No ads; the one optional purchase unlocks nothing — it just says thank you.
