Luna Game

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 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 that apply to the entire series:
 * Anonymous Author: The creators of both the canon series and the fan game have kept their identities hidden from the community.
 * Beautiful Void: The periods before the Dark World sequences.
 * Character Title
 * Corrupt the Cutie:
 * Creepypasta
 * Dark and Troubled Past: About a thousand years of it for Luna.
 * Dark World: The hell worlds in all games except the first. They're generic red bloody places.
 * Also function as Psychological Torment Zones
 * Dead to Begin With: This is revealed to be the case at the end of Luna Game 0 and its demo:  in the demo and   in the full game.
 * Easter Egg:
 * Many times, the series makes use of edited versions of original My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic songs.
 * "Giggle at the Ghosties" remixes have been used particularly often.
 * In addition, the third and fifth games apparently used a very heavy remix of a short piece of background music from "Sonic Rainboom" and "The Cutie Mark Chronicles".
 * Each game in the series has 6.6.6 in the version number.
 * Face Monster Turn:
 * Failure Is the Only Option:
 * In Luna Game 2, there's no way to win. After the screamer appears and you go to the hell world, you're forced to throw yourself into a pit.
 * Similar to the third game, albeit more subtly. The game just continues indefinitely until you fall into one of the pits.
 * In addition, the fourth game forces you to jump off of a cliff right at the beginning.
 * The fifth game gets darker and darker as you make your way to the bottom of the room, leading to YOUR doom.
 * Follow the Leader: In its following, the Luna game series has inspired numerous responses of fan-made My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Creepypasta games; including the infamous Story of the Blanks, the Dreamy Rainbow series, and inspired the bad ending to Super Filly Adventure.
 * Luna Game 5 may also be an example.
 * Jump Scare: Oh so many -- One in each of the six games, with the exclusion of the Luna Game 0 Demo.
 * Mood Whiplash: Naturally in each game, the mood almost always turns in an instant from a happy, cheery, joyful tone to a grim, dark, and desolate one.
 * Numbered Sequels
 * Ontological Mystery: The reason behind Luna's imprisonment in her series of strange, happy-to-hell worlds was a complete mystery until the addition of Luna Game 0.
 * Platform Game
 * Psychological Horror: Often by the accompaniment of Fridge Horror.
 * Psycho Strings: Some of the scary sound effects are these.
 * Recurring Element:
 * Super Ponybeat tracks are featured in the beginning of the first three games, as well as the fan-made fifth game.
 * Occasionally, the games feature pony Fan Art.
 * The use of the Comic Sans font in the later games.
 * Shout Out: The games feature Zalgo-style effects and themes on multiple occasions.
 * Subverted Kids Show
 * Surprise Creepy

Luna Game
"The End is Neigh"


 * Black Eyes of Evil: Pinkie Pie.
 * Evil Laugh: If the player happens to end with the "Giggle at the Ghosties" remix.
 * Madness Mantra: If the immense amount of text files created in the game's aftermeth is taken into consideration--each with "The End is Neigh" as the only text--then it counts.
 * Multiple Endings: The game has a possibility of ending with either of four different sinister remixes of original My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic songs.
 * Sensory Abuse: The "Evil Enchantress" remix... Be warned!
 * Screamer Prank: Often the way it's compared to the Scary Maze Game.
 * Slasher Smile/ Eyes of Gold: Applebloom.
 * X Meets Y: Basically, My Little Pony meets the Scary Maze Game.

Luna Game 2
"YOU DIED"
 * Art Evolution: LG2 had begun the use of the improved, WindowPonies Luna sprite which had then stuck for the rest of the series.
 * Bottomless Chasm
 * Death Is Dramatic:

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
"BUT NOW YOU'RE IN MY WORLD"

 "It didn't have to turn out like this... You didn't have to die..."
 * Driven to Suicide: This is implied when
 * Easter Egg:
 * 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:
 * 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 Once the end of this area/ is found,

""You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?""
 * Shout Out:

Luna Game 0



 * Hundred Percent Adoration Rating/ Close Knit Community: Luna was treated much nicer by the mane six in the demo than in the full version.
 * : This is strongly hinted for Luna towards the end.
 * Easter Egg: If you play between 11PM and 5AM, a track from The White Chamber will play an hour after the game finishes.
 * End Title Sequence
 * Never Trust a Trailer: The demo was nothing at all what the full version came out as.
 * No Theme Tune: Not only is there no theme tune -- No sound at all!
 * Sudden Downer Ending



"The past cannot be changed"

""The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.""
 * Arc Words: The phrase "Pinkie Pie was just looking for you, you should probably go find her" and its variations is said by five of the mane six near the end of the game.
 * Chekhov's Gun:
 * Luna is requested by the mane six to collect a series of seemingly boring, monotonous items,
 * The Corruption:
 * Cruel Twist Ending:
 * Easter Egg:
 * After the Nightmare Moon scene, the player can choose to go back to where they collected the items instead of going back to the main area. Here, the player will find all the items in their original spots and if Luna touches one of them; thunder will sound, the game will glitch out--showing an image of a moment earlier in the game--and prematurely close.
 * The game's featured quote is a possible Shout Out to Mary Pickford's:

""B...But...Why?""
 * Enemy Within:
 * Famous Last Words:

"Princess Celestia: It's your first day back in the kingdom, so why don't you go make some friends?"
 * Fetch Quest: Depending on the player's choice, Luna will have to gather/collect/retrieve a series of items, each with their own unique stage.
 * Kick the Dog:
 * Prequel
 * Unwitting Instigator of Doom:

"...THIS ISN'T OVER"
 * Wham Line:

Luna Game 5
"Nightmare Moon: You once told me you liked being scared"
 * Auto Scrolling Level: During the third stage.
 * Continuity Nod/ Homage: A lot of elements used in the previous games are again featured in the Fan Sequel.
 * Additionally, a Continuity Nod is made to the show:

""--SHH! Someone is listening""
 * Being Listening To:

""Mommy? Where are you? I can't see.""
 * Dying Dream:
 * Easter Egg:
 * Setting your computer's system time to Friday the 13th before playing brings up a Cutscene hinting at the backstory.
 * A hidden Pinkie Pie can be found shortly after the shadow ponies.
 * If you hold down the keys "I" "T" and "K" before the game turns creepy, you will be greeted with a Pinkie screamer. If you hold them down in the room with the red sky, the static will run again . The keys do nothing in the later rooms.
 * Fan Sequel
 * Fetch Quest: You can't progress to the creepy part of the game until you've collected 9 bunnies.
 * Killer Rabbit:
 * Multiple Endings: If you are caught by the camera during the third stage, Pinkie will pop up on your screen as a loud screech plays just before crashing.
 * Shout Out:
 * In the first stage, approaching Angel Bunny will cause the Metal Gear alert sound to play.
 * In the early part of the third stage, the crying of a witch can be heard in the background.
 * One of the shadow ponies, a filly, drops a line from Poltergeist III :


 * As Homage, the end sequence uses an almost perfect port of.
 * The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You:
 * 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
 * Subverted with Ctrl+Alt+Del. While the game will yell at you, it won't actually stop you.
 * 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:
 * This trope can be taken literally by a controversy over
