Lunar Park was once a beloved family amusement park, where locals could experience a little bit of wonder in their own backyard. After years of abandonment, the park has become a dilapidated shadow of its former self. Tonight, five young men will wander into Lunar Park for the sake of urban exploration… Blissfully unaware they’re about to become contestants in a twisted game, hunted down by a horror movie slasher with a penchant for turning men into helpless blimps.
Pop Me is a choose-your-own-adventure style story with 10 different endings to discover, including a true ending that will take some deduction. Completing any ending will unlock tools to make finding the rest easier. The story also includes a furry version, which is toggled from the start menu.
The story focuses on male inflation, bursting and horror themes. Other content warnings include brainwashing and explicit sexual scenes.

Gave it a go. Pretty solid writing, inflation stuff in particular but nothing else was really lacking, kept me going most of the way through - though I admit I may be stupid, because I can’t solve the mystery, even with all the hints I’d unlocked and being pretty confident in the ‘who’ part of it. Only missing ending A and B (B I assume being worse A, because none of the escapes I could find led to it unlocking)
If you think you know the ‘who’, pay attention to them in particular and see what they do that only makes sense if they’re the culprit. For a more explicit half-solution; “clothes” is always a correct choice. There’s a second option that’s always correct. The third option changes depending on your route.
Ending B and Ending A are substantially different. Ending B and Ending C are very similar… By comparison, Ending B just requires someone telling you some information that would be helpful in an investigation.
This was pretty good! I like how it kept the horror vibes during the entire story. Found all endings eventually, and there is good variety in all the different paths. The format definitely works well with the story, and finding the answer to the mystery made me feel like a smartypants (though it took me a while to figure out the other thing I had to do for the good ending). Though the hint system definitely helped for other endings.
All in all I hope you do more of this stuff. Even if it’s these smaller vignettes of different inflation (or whatever expansion related content) happening to different groups or characters.
Happy to hear you enjoyed, and happy that it sounds as though the mystery element landed well in terms of difficulty!
I also included the furry version because that’s the kind of space I normally socialise in, yet none of the writing I’ve done really caters to furries. Figured this was a good opportunity to branch out!
This is a great game and I had fun finding all the endings. the hints definitely helped me a lot lol
I did notice in passage end210, when you are at the front gate and everyone else has been inflated, Patrick’s name is included twice and Travis’s name is missing.
Ahh, good catch, I’ll have to fix that up. The end game is very knotty in terms of writing because there’s 6 different combinations of survivors who can make it to the finish line.
