I uh… well I made a third thing
Here it is: https://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/fnkl9rasak_b_owua4kf7q/a-nebutoris-tale
This game took… a long time to say the very least. Even with my understanding of coding to be a lot better than before I still wasn’t able to fully complete everything I wanted for this game. Sadly a combination of burnout, time constraints from real life, and sudden surprises render me unable to fully check everything in the game.
I will warn you this game may perhaps be large, one that may require saving for the time being as it does go through several areas and has a variety of things running so it will take some time to complete. Part of me really wanted to push Quest to its limits, so I tried doing just that. Do not worry, I will make an update to hopefully add a few items to move the player forward ahead in the game, just that I’m currently tired of looking through the different lines of code and trying to figure out what will work what won’t. Hopefully, there are no bugs, but then again I thought I removed every bug in my first game so I’m expecting quite a bit of clean-up to do.
Hopefully, everyone enjoys it and despite the trouble I had to make it, it was well worth it.
Ending Guide
Here are the endings to A Nebutori’s Tale, in which there are four main endings (one having many variations depending on what you did in the story). This will be a guide to getting each one, though each are just about at the end of the game, and with some spoilers, so be prepared.
Immobility Ending-
Requirements: Green Bracelet
The first of the endings that can be accessed immediately. It’s simple really, weigh over 965 pounds and take a shower. The easiest way to do this is by going to the mall and partaking in the jobs there for cash (while leaving you pretty full afterward). There is also a Bowl of Cookies in the kitchen, as well as picking the gluttony choices for each of the girls. This will take some time, as you have to go through the dream sequence each time you overstuffed yourself. To check on your progress, use the scales in your home, library, and mall to check how far you have gone. You’ll reach the ending when you break the bath seat.
Fattened Manami Endings-
Requirements:Pick the glutton choice for Manami
Early on you’ll have the choice to either save Manami or indulge with her. Indulging with her will lock her as a fatty, yet you still have to progress through the rest of the game (detailed in the Curse Broken Endings). Once you have beaten the curse find Manami in the kitchen, where the ending will play (depending on how heavy you are will lead to some detail differences, though you will still reach an ending.
Freedom Ending-
Requirements: Note, weigh over 600 pounds
This requires a bit of work, firstly you must weigh over 600 pounds (easy if you follow the steps partially in the Immobility Endings) but the other requires some effort. First, you must head to the mall and exit from the North Atrium until a Homeless Beggar will spawn. Give him some money and return the next day to repeat the process. When you give him more money (you need 10 dollars exactly) he will give you directions to a homeless camp where he lives (will also unlock the Forest Directions if you haven’t already).
Travel to the Forest Preserve and follow his directions until you reach the Worn Cement Structure. If you haven’t given the beggar money you will not be able to get inside, just warning you. Enter inside and head to the back of the structure to the Mayoral Suite, and speak to the Mayor. After speaking with her you’ll be given access to the Storage room (off to the left in the room) and read the Diary to receive the Note. Then once you have it and weigh over 600 pounds head to the dream world and head straight for the Wakingscape, and wait for a bit. After some time the Nebutori will appear, speak with her and you’ll be taken to the Dreamscape where a Contract will be located at. Once you read and sign the contract it will initiate the ending, where you’ll just have to speak with a girl after the scene to complete the ending.
Curse Broken Endings-
Requirements: The Name, Speak with the Green Haired Woman, choosing the other option for Manami.
This is a long one, requiring you to go through the entire game before you can finally reach it. After going through the first dream sequence you’ll have to find clues to the Nebutori (Yama) so firstly you must speak with your sister. After she rejects telling you then head to the mall and find the toy store (located on the second floor) and buy the General Grievous (5 dollars)and head back to the house. Speaking to her will give you the first clue to Yama while preventing her from falling into her gluttony (very important, if you choose the glutton route you will not get any of the endings here).
Next, you must find Grace’s location, head to the mall again, and head to the bar, where the bartender (Leaf) will give you a hint of the person who may know at a certain location (in this case the mall) look around the mall (second floor) and speak with the Dressed Woman, where she’ll give you the directions to Grace. Follow them and you finally meet with Grace, though like Manami she has her own weight problem. You can either go the glutton route or get her the new Fire Emblem game at the mall to get the next clue. If you pick the game route you will have to head to the mall and find the game store on the second floor, where you can either buy it (very expensive) or find the employee’s phone and bring it back to him (the phone is in the fountain but is waterlogged, so you must first head home and find the rice bag in the kitchen to help dry it before you can back and give it to him) where he’ll give you the game for free. Head back to Grace and give her the game.
Becky is next and like before seek out Leaf and try to find the Hockey Jersey Jock (Carl) and speak with him. Before he can grant you Becky’s location you will have to find his watch in the Forest Preserve. He’ll give you the directions (as well as revealing the Forest Directions) and you’ll head to the Forest Preserve. Follow the directions and look through the Litter at the River Side Beach to find the Watch. Take and bring it back to Carl and he’ll give you directions to Becky. Follow them and you’ll reach the hotel, and find the Occupied Door. After knocking on it, head to the Hotel Courtyard and listen through the Covered WIndow and once again head to the mall and go to the Lingerie Store on the second floor. After picking delivery head back to the hotel and knock on the Occupied door again, finally giving you access to Becky. After learning her clue you have the choice to either get in bed with her or not, no matter you will leave the hotel all the same.
Lastly is Kylie, once again speak with Leaf and this time head to the Library (if you haven’t yet, speak with the Green Haired Woman, you will need to in order to find where to end the curse) to find an Old Lady there. Speak with her to learn Kylie’s location and head to Wicker Street. After getting accosted by Kylie’s mother head to the mall and buy the Weight Gain Powder (20 dollars) and head back to Kylie’s home. Speak to Kylie’s mother and you’ll be given access to Kylie, where after learning what she knows you can either indulge with her or leave her be with her mother, and now you have all the clues.
Leaf will give you the next hint, though next you will head to the Library and buy the Languages of the World book (15 dollars) and read it at the Solitary Desk. Once you have obtained the Name (as well as speaking the Green Haired Woman) head to the Forest Preserve and follow the directions to the landmark, where a short climb to the summit will lead you to the apex. Pick up the obsidian stone and enter the cave. After Reaching the ritual room begin the ritual and you will then be sent home. Once you regain control find Manami in the house (either the living room or Large living room) and you will then be sent to the mall, where you will meet up with Manami in the bar, and after you leave you’ll reach the ending of the game.
Depending on your choices Grace, Becky, and Kylie will either be present as well or will not be there. There is also some minor content if you find someone else in the mall but it’s not fully done yet.
I hope I detailed everything properly, a bit hectic while writing this. Hopefully, this makes things easier for you in hunting endings.
