(Senica Thing) Power Turtle

During summer vacations we went to the seaside. The sea was very warm. There were many animals in it. One day I went swimming. [[Check water surface->surface]] [[Check under water->under]]

When I looked under the water, I saw a little turtle. She was trapped in a net. I took it out of the water. It was scared. To save it, I wanted to take it home but I also needed to find its mother. [[Take it to vet->vet]] [[Bring it home->home]]

I took it to the vet. They put it out of the net. It fell asleep. [[Next day...->vet2]]

I took it home. I put it in my pool and gave it some food. It refused to eat it. [[Use medicine!->med]] [[Play music!->music]]

Next day they gave me candies for the turtle. This was its medicine. She eat it all. [[Was it poison...->poison]] [[..or something strange?->strange]]

Medicine was poisoned. The turtle started to become pink. I took it to a really good vet. [[Continue...->newvet]]

Next day the turtle became bigger than me. [[Continue...->strange2]]

There was a gold fish called Sara at the vet's office. They started to talk. [[Friends?->friend]] [[Fish looks delicious...->food]]

The fish and the turtle became besties. The vet adopted the turtle and both, the turtle and the goldfish, lived happily ever after. The end. [[Start again->Power Turtle]]

The turtle was really hungry now. She ate Sara the goldfish. The vet was little angry. [[Continue...->tosea]]

I checkced the water surface and saw a small turtle in the net without its mother. It was scared. To save it, I wanted to take it home but I also needed to find its mother. [[Take home!->home]] [[Find mother!->find]]

I saved it from the net and gave her some medicine. The medicine was a bit out-of-date. [[Continue...->poison]]

I put it in the car and turned on some music. She started dancing. She danced very well. [[Go to aquarium->aqua]] [[Go to friend->show]]

She needed to be examined by a good vet. [[Continue...->newvet]]

The turtle got some medicine and became healthy. We took it back to the sea. The end. [[Start again->Power Turtle]]

I took it to the aquarium. She was happy there because she saw its mother. [[Release them!->release]] [[Continue...->sleep]]

I took it to my friend's house.He was a professional for turtles. He told me that this turtle was the best danceer in the world. [[Continue...->sleep]]

It got some food and fell asleep. [[Continue...->love]]

I took both of them back to the sea. The end. [[Start again->Power Turtle]]

My friend fell in love with it. He wanted to keep it. [[Keep it!->keep]] [[Release it!->release1]]

He kept it and they lived happily ever after. The end. [[Start again->Power Turtle]]

A better place for the turtle was the sea. We returned it to its natural environment. The end. [[Start again->Power Turtle]]

I called my friend. He had a mask and snorkle. I hoped he could find the turtle's mother. The end. [[Start again!->Start]]

''POWER TURTLE'' /by 3N/ (3x13, Slovenia) [[Credits]] [[About]] [[Play->Start]] [[Guild Master´s Note (Warning-spoilers!)->Note]]

This antology of interactive games was designed as an answer to the "Clean Banks" Micro Gamebook Challenge which champions responsibility for our oceans, lakes and rivers. In this challenge the authors were asked to design a non-linear story around "an object found on the riverbank/or a sea shore". /The games were written by students from Senica (Slovakia), from Bohinjska Bistrica (Slovenia) and by a new "grown-up" guild member from Italy as a joint entry to the Back Garden at the Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction 2025./ [[Back->Power Turtle]]

''Guildmaster´s note'' This gamebook author is a Novice. They are ready to accept constructive feed-back to learn and grow. //(This year the SIF Guild decided to offer "local only" public appearance to unfinished games designed by authors who already have had the honor of receiving feedback from Spring Thing reviewers and need some more time now for it to sink in. These games can reach their reader (link:"here.")[(gotoURL:"https://sif-gamebook.webnode.sk/senica-thing")])// The 3N´s game was slightly re-designed by the tester - for the player: so that the logical links between the actions were better visible - and for the author: to enjoy the first-timer´s privilege of pleading for some Spring Thing reviews even though their debut lacks some necessary polish. At one place (at home) a note "It refused to eat" was added, new ending was added ("escape") and in the "check surface" passage the information about mother was added to make the choices equally informative.
