ZampanioSim is a fanwork of the the Creepypasta game Zampanio created by a Blank faced nightmare, Author Avatar JR.
It is styled as a series of increasingly esoteric Maze like elements.
It's hard to find any information about the original Zampanio game, if anyone finds anything, please contact the team, so they can make the simulation better.
Wastes are encouraged to engage with its content.
Tropes:
- Department of Redundancy Department: ThisIsAGame can sometimes be this, repeating the same descriptor for a room multiple times.
- Face Stealer : You can find Shambling Horrors with Your Face.
- The Maze : The end is never the end
- Multiple Endings : Based on the initial settings, choices you make and side quests you accept, you can end up as the high priest of your chosen god, the counselor of the Goblin King, the mayor of the city you saved, infamous pirate, leader of the victorious rebellion or the heir of the Fae-Forest Wizard. (The list might be incomplete.)
- Big Labyrinthine Building : The Eyedol HQ has it's own rules.
- MegaCorp : Eyedol games. They bought up everything.
- Fictional Sport : If the player wants to get second- or higher tier weapons from the smith, they have to challenge him in Belrennid. Similar to arm-wrestling, but with both hands, and it has complicated, card-based betting system.
- Office Romance : The story of the Player and Naga is heartwarming example of this.
- Living Shadow : You can encounter them in the Mirror World.
- Deliberately Monochrome : The Murder Basement.
- Skull for a Head : The Keeper of Keys has this.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot : Peewee Cassan is a possessed, time-looping bug-alien-troll-tree-snake-viking-cyborg-gamer-demon-god (and an irresponsible father) who wants to end the universe.
- Crystal Dragon Jesus : The son of Wouhe
- Goth Spirals : Or Goth NotSpirals. But nevertheless, they are central motifs of the game.
- Ability Required to Proceed : You can't encounter the Dandelion Monster until you learn to play the Mourning Pipe.
- Alternate Universe : The Mirror World
- Attack Its Weak Point : The only way to defeat the Pond Which is to cut down her tooth-bracelet. (But it doesn't help. Even if you defeat her, the Pond will bond your soul, so actually this is a no-win situation.)
- Solitary Sorceress : The Pond Witch
- Beast in the Maze : Minotaurs. Minotaurs everywhere.
- Black Magic : You can fight it or you can learn it.
- Blackout Basement : You don't want to be here.
- Scenery Porn : Yes, this is possible in text-based games too.
- Silver Bullet : If you want to clean Moonlight town from the lycanthropes, you have to use a silver arrow. Or you can help the leader wolf, and collect all the silver you can find, and destroy it. (In the latter case you will turn into a lycanthrope too, so you have to be cautious not to get silver-poisoning.)
- Not What It Looks Like : ThisIsNotAGame. Unless you force it to be one. But it won't like it.
- Unstoppable Mailman : If you accept the quest to take the letters of the Swarm Queen to the allied hives, you have to come over insanely hard obstructions.
- Just Eat Him : The Anchor Worm will drag you to the it's crystal cave and bind you upside down to the celling for hours, and only then it absorbs the consciousness of the player. Except if you have squirrel meat. In this case it will simply eat you.
- Meta Fiction : Simulations of simulations of simulations of simulations...
- Despair Event Horizon : Have I convinced you that this is a good game? Have I brought you enough tropes fot it? Will you believe me at last? Zampanio is a very good game, and you should play it. Zampanio is a very good game, you should play it.
