My muse finally decided to hit me on the very last day of the year. Tis’ a New Year miracle, no less. Or the girl is just as capricious as my mood these days. So, Pon Para…I wrote a proper full review for the first game way back in 2019. I guess my desire to create long texts was more convincing than my general laziness at that time, huh? Now, with the release of Unconquerable Scorpion, it is high time to talk about the story once again, and I am only happy to oblige.

About This Game
Pon Para and the Unconquerable Scorpion is a 742,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Kyle Marquis, and the sequel to Pon Para and the Great Southern Labyrinth. Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
The philosopher witch Teijia has unleashed a new weapon: a scorpion-god whose venom poisons the very foundations of reality! As the edges of the world disintegrate, the nomadic Stormraiders make one final, desperate push to defeat the Three Nations and carve out their own kingdom.
This time you'll need more than the sign of your god and a few friends: to end the war and save the world from destruction, you'll need an army! Establish yourself as a warlord, crime boss, or divine leader and cross oceans and deserts to find a weapon that can stop the Unconquerable Scorpion!
Old Friends and Enemies Return. Once again find friendship, enmity, or romance with Melaxu the nymph philosopher and Tamur the Desert Empire spy. But beware: the Stormraiders Galimar and Gisla are back too. And what will your own rulers, King Hyras and the Desert Empress, demand of you this time?
New Heroes, New Threats. Recruit Col the satyr general and his young ward Clannath, a crow-woman cursed by the God of Rage. Claim territory across two nations and scheme to protect your followers. But beware the ambitions of the dark priests…and of the priests of Heaven, who still consider you a heretic and enemy of the gods!
The End of Philosophy? Even as King Hyras and Lord Vankred square off to end the Stormraider War, the witch Teijia unleashes her ultimate weapon: the Emissary Beast Magdala, the Unconquerable Scorpion, whose venom can destroy the engines that maintain the World That Remains. What can stop a creature forged by the gods to be unstoppable?
Return to the World That Remains. Make yourself at home!

User Reviews
Frenetic from start to finish. This game never lets up, it keeps putting you in new and wild scenarios, while adamantly refusing to resort to old fantasy tropes. Marquis has written a real winner with this book and series.
its pretty good
Definitely an improvement from the last Pon para. This one feels better paced, has more romance options for those looking (Hyranni ftw), and I quite like the variety of situations it puts you through--more fun compared to the last game. I'll also say that I like the approach to romance, it never intrudes on the story (which makes sense here since you are in constant crisis), feels natural, and due to its moments being written as short & sweet it leaves you wanting for more. So far I'd say its slowburn romance done nicely, but I do think the next installment should have more substantial moments of romance as some well-deserved pay off, for a job well done. With that said as hyped I am the next sequel, I know that good things take time and with that I'll see you in the next installment of Pon Para. Thank you, Kyle Marquis.
Great game, the choices actually matter
+1
I like the story it's very entertaining, I'm having fun. Be careful with the decisions you make...some are not as effective as others, trust me. If you want to romance a character...I'm not sure how that one goes. I haven't gotten the opportunity to do so. Let me know if you did.
a fun game
