Death in the Dark

In the early 2000's, the Pony's Investigation Group of the Supernatural (PIGOTS) has been getting calls of a certain game. This game was a text adventure game which was a genre quickly decreasing in popularity. It is rumored to have started on a 5GB floppy belonging to Princess Celestia herself. She had it stored away for personal reasons only.
It is also rumored that one guard who was protecting the floppy switched it with a decoy and shared it online. Even more rumors say that it was a game created by Princess Luna or some twisted, crazy guard, or someone who was in the castle. Regardless, they're only rumors.
PIGOTS installed the floppy software containing the game. It was titled "Death in the Dark". Whoever created the title couldn't think up a good name apparently. The title screen only had a black background with a bolded New Times Roman font in white that covered the screen.
The first screen said, "It is a dark, quiet room. You only have a torch, a wet match, a shovel, and 100 bits. There is a door that goes east and another that goes south. The room is cold, and if you do not exit soon, you will freeze to death. Command?"
Many ponies were playing at once in PIGOTS. A lot picked one of the two most obvious choices which were taking one of the doors. If you took the door south, it said, "You disobeyed the princesses. Go back or be slaughtered. Command?" If you took the door east, it said, "Continue down this path and die in a fiery pit. Command?"
Many ponies grew aggravated by the overwhelming nonsense. You would die if you did anything. One pony did the opposite of what was expected which was to use the shovel. Death in the Dark then said, "Congratulations! You have dug a tunnel toward north. Survive for now."
The PIGOTS agent continued on with Death in the Dark. The next scene was described as Death in the Dark said, "You are now surrounded in a forested dark area. You lost your bits and shovel. Your wet match is useless. You have twigs and dead leaves. You have found a loaded pistol. And you hear a rustling in the trees. Command?"
The common sense thing would be to shoot the thing moving about. The PIGOTS agent decided to create a fire. Death in the Dark said, "You have a torch and a loaded pistol still available for use. Command?" The PIGOTS agent chose to light the torch and move westward.
Death in the Dark said, "You are on the side of the river. Your torch has gotten soaked and useless. You hear hoofsteps and a faint heartbeat. You have loaded pistol. Command?" At this rate, the only option was to use the pistol, so the PIGOTS agent used it. Then Death in the Dark said, "You shot a bullet and the rustling stopped. You can check to see what you have killed or stay here. Command?"
At this time, Death in the Dark showed two options but only allowed you to pick on checking to see what you killed. Then a quick flash of Princess Luna came up. She was shot in the head. Blood and brain tissue was spread across the snow.
Death in the Dark then forced you to flee eastward. Then it said, "You have now become blind. You lost your pistol. You only have your bare hooves to use. You are in the castle in Canterlot. A guard is coming. Command?" The options were to kill him or run. The game only allowed you to kill him. It showed a picture of a blind pony strangling a royal guard with his bare hooves.
The PIGOTS agent wrote down every single thing he had done in Death in the Dark. Then the game asked, "You have now murdered two ponies. Everyone now will hate you. How does this make you feel?" The game then crashed as another PIGOTS agent turned on the TV to the news. "Breaking news from Canterlot!" the news reporter began, "It appears that there was a break-in in the castle. Two ponies were found dead including a royal guard and Princess Luna. Princess Celestia had sworn a death penalty for whoever is guilty. More details coming shortly."
Then, without warning, the game was back up. It said, "You killed them. How does that make you feel? You put great corruption in Canterlot. Princess Celestia is filled with great ill-will and intensions. Command?" At this time, the agent kept playing. The options were go into Princess Celestia's chambers, go to the dining hall, or dispose of the body. The agent clicked on going in the princess's chambers. It only said, "She's not here." Then going to the dining room and it said, "Not time yet." And all the agent could do was dispose of the body.
Death in the Dark said, "Night has come but there is no moon. You found a baseball bat and have regained your vision. You realize you are bloody. You can wash up. Command?" The PIGOTS agent chose to wash up but the game said, "no where around to do this task." Then the agent picked pick up the base ball bat.
The game said, "You have a baseball bat. You can go into Princess Celestia's chambers, murder more guards, or leave. Command?" The agent picked leave, but the game said, "Not yet." Then he picked murder more guards, and the game said, "Not now." The only option you had was to go into Princess Celestia's chambers.
The game said, "You have located the princess's bed. She is sound asleep. The room is dark. You have the bat. You can take the bits, swing the bat, or leave. Command?" The PIGOTS agent chose to leave, but the game wouldn't allow it. So instead of swinging the bat, he chose to take the bits.
Death in the dark said, "You have become rich by robbing Princess Celestia. You have escaped the castle. You are blood and need to wash up. There is a cabin close by. You can use a bribe or murder them. Command?" The PIGOTS agent chose the bribe.
Death in the Dark said, "Bad choice! Before you could wash up, the police were called. Princess Celestia pulls you back from the shower. You try to violently beat her. She shot you in the head. Good bye Dusk Magic." Dusk Magic was the PIGOTS agent's name. Soon Princess Celestia showed up at the door.
Everypony was now confused. Dusk Magic naturally tries to strike the princess on impulse. He was shot before he could reach her. And then, Death in the Dark said its last words before destroying itself, "Sleep well Dusk Magic, and rot in hell Princess Celestia."
