Luna Game

Image featured on the site.

Luna Game is a series of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fangames, each featuring the eponymous Princess Luna as the protagonist.

But, the most noteworthy is the main Creepypasta series--created by an anonymous programmer--which each start out as a seemingly innocent, 2D Platformer. (That is, until the horror shows up)

Creepypasta Series:

The series contains four linear installments, a Prequel, and a fan-made sequel.

All six games[1] can be found at this site, but don't click the link. Just don't.

Unity Of Factors has released a track dedicated to the game on their bandcamp.

There has also been a Spiritual Successor series called Dreamy Rainbow.

Tropes used in Luna Game include:

Luna Game 2[10]

YOU DIED

Luna Game 3

  • Easter Egg: After the white noise sounds and the soundtrack changes, very subtle chattering of ponies can be heard.
  • Endless Game: Once you get to a certain point, there are only two things to do: continue running forever, or allow yourself to fall into a pit.
  • Eye Awaken: At the end of the game, you get a creepy picture of Luna's mutated corpse whose eyes suddenly open and shrieks.
  • Fake Longevity: Apparently, a majority of the game is just spent wandering around--waiting for the background music to slow down.
  • The Lost Woods
  • Scare Chord: The first hole in the ground you jump over causes a distorted version of Fluttershy's "COME OUT" to play, and jumping in to any hole causes her distorted "LOVE ME!!" to play (complete with scare-image).

Luna Game 4


  • Driven to Suicide: This is implied when Luna is forced to jump off of the cliff.[12]
  • Easter Egg: On the chance the player is not able to outrun the darkness in Hell and falls into the abyss below, a series of grimdark Fan Art images will flash before the player before the game closes.
    • Additionally, one of the images happens to be another one of CrappyUnicorn works. Though, the image is too dark to fully be seen in the game; there is an inscription which reads:
      Vengeance taken — Will often tear the heart — And torment the conscience
  • Fire and Brimstone Hell
  • From a Certain Point of View:
  • Interface Screw: Glitched out text is displayed as Luna enters the last dark world.
  • Multiple Endings: If at any time you let the darkness catch you, you will be greeted with a flurry of creepy images and a loud scream (in a game that is otherwise not a screamer).
  • Outrun the Fireball: Darkness quickly closes in on Luna twice, which she has to outrun.
  • Phantom Zone: A true, nightmarish hell-of-a-world unlike any other to which Luna arrives at after falling into the darkness of Hell. Once the end of this area/the game is found, it is strongly implied Luna is truely Killed Off for Real when/(if) the player attempts to reopen the game; only to be presented with the text:
  • Shout-Out:

Luna Game 0[13]

Demo

Main Game

"The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power."

"B...But...Why?"

  • Fetch Quest: Depending on the player's choice, Luna will have to gather/collect/retrieve a series of items[18], each with their own unique stage.
  • Kick the Dog: Luna killing Pinkie Pie when she offered to throw her a party. (Even though Nightmare Moon's influence over her made her do it.)
  • Prequel
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom:

Princess Celestia: It's your first day back in the kingdom, so why don't you go make some friends?

Fan-sequel

Luna Game 5

"--SHH! Someone is listening"

"Mommy? Where are you? I can't see."

    • As Homage, the end sequence uses an almost perfect port of Giygas's Lair from EarthBound.
  • The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Just before the game crashes, the words "You're Next" appear on the screen before a Zalgofied Pinkie is shown staring straight at you. To add insult to injury, your CD tray pops open at that exact moment.
  • Thwarted Escape:
    • Pressing Alt+F4 once the game takes a turn for the darker will close it down. A few seconds later it will come back with Pinkie Pie laughing at your failure.
    • Subverted with Ctrl+Alt+Del. While the game will yell at you, it won't actually stop you.[24]
    • Pressing Escape after the game turns creepy won't end the game, but another laughing sound will play.
    • Inverted in that pressing Escape or Alt+F4 will end the game if you haven't progressed to the creepy part yet.
  • Womb Level: Though Giygas's Lair is really a cave, the scene leading up to it involves jumping into Pinkie's mouth, followed by chewing/swallowing sounds, and ending with heartbeat sounds that continue subtly in the background until you leave the level.
    • This trope can be taken literally by a controversy over a belief that The Devil's Machine (i.e. Giygas's Lair) is a representation of a giant female reproductive system.

Parodies

Lona's Goem 48

A short, spinoff-Parody game, created by SkippyElectrochomp. Can be downloaded here.

The Lunar Game

Another very short fan-parody of the Creepypasta series, made by CertaintyPrinciple, which particularly puts light to the part in the first game where the player has a possibility of getting stuck in a pit. Can be found here.

  1. (plus the Luna Game 0 Demo, which has its own unique ending)
  2. (slightly subverted with the former, whom had shared his identity only with a certain Strawberry Spice--an administrator to Equestria Gaming (previously) and ambiguous friend--both in order to help stay anonymous and maintaining the author's site)
  3. (sometimes obvious, sometimes not)
  4. (being the only option you are left with)
  5. (Unless you count the scary noises that play if you play it in between 11PM and 5AM)
  6. (including a few borrowed from Amnesia)
  7. (especially by CrappyUnicorn)
  8. (Possibly)
  9. (Possibly)
  10. (Aka Luna 2)
  11. (instead of the homemade sprite used the first game)
  12. (Possibly to escape her traumatic visions/ nightmares)
  13. (which includes a demo)
  14. (i.e. being nice from the start, complimenting her with kind words, and giving her the time of day)
  15. (Not until the end, that is)
  16. (It may also fall under Notice This since it would not appear until the rest have been collected, plus the fact that is mostly void of color)
  17. (well, actually only strongly hinted)
  18. Books (for Twilight), apples (Applejack), carrots (Fluttershy), snowflakes (Rainbow Dash), candies (Pinkie Pie), or gems (Rarity)
  19. (Such as a Super Ponybeat track being used in the game's beginning, several of the ominous tracks were reused, ect)
  20. (and the Pinkie Pie you've been seeing all along was really Luna/Nightmare Moon)
  21. The static that pops up when you enter the third stage appears randomly. If you run to the first raised ground after the shadows when it happens, you'll see Pinkie staring straight at you.
  22. If you are standing just before the chase event the first time you press them, you will see the monster presumed to be chasing you
  23. (although, this may, or may not have been intentional)
  24. You still won't be able to move your mouse cursor.
