About Pon Para and the Unconquerable Scorpion
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 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!

[i]NOTE: you can find my review for the first game here – [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/futabatian/recommended/1074550?snr=1_5_9__402]Pon Para and the Great Southern Labyrinth[/url][/i] Would you look at that! 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. [h1]Pros[/h1] [list] [*][b]Word building and magic system[/b] I am no expert in literature, but I do like watching them talk on YouTube. One of my favorites is KrimsonRogue, who is quite good at explaining things and is actually connected with writing. According to him, a magic system has its place when all parts of it make sense, work well together and do not contradict their own basic principles. And I dare say that Kyle Marquis has yet again managed to achieve this. Pon Para features a completely un…25 found this helpful
I started the Pon Para series after enjoying the author Kyle Marquis's other games Night Road and Book of Hungry Names. While the other two are more aclaimed, I think the Pon Para series is his best, most memorable work so far! The world building and lore is excellent, and the book truly takes you on a journey of epic proportions. Bring on Pon Para III!1 found this helpful
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.1 found this helpful
continuity error when you are saving princess hiryani. if you choose to save her with the first check the game gives you a scene then acts as if that scene never happened and has the entire party end up saving her anyway.
Great game, the choices actually matter
