Cave Story/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

 

''[http://twitter.com/Lonebot Lonebot]'' and ''[http://twitter.com/curlehbrace curlehbrace]'', by [http://www.cavestory.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3097 Captain Fabulous]. (Note: Some implied [[Ecchi]] content, building off what was already there in the game.)

* ''Synopsis'': The twitter accounts of Quote and Curly Brace, respectively, providing updates as they experience those last crazy days on Mimiga Island--and in Quote's case, intermittent updates afterwards.

* ''Comments'': This sticks close to the game canon (specifically, the {{spoiler|good ending}}), with fanon to fill in some gaps. The characterization of Quote is rather humorous, as he clearly considers himself the [[Only Sane Man]] on Mimiga Island, and reacts to the bizarre NPCs, enemies, and ecosystem with a mix of incredulity and snark. I also like how he begins the story motivated primarily by selfishness and boredom, but develops more heroic motivations over the course of events.

* ''Synopsis'': The Three Laws of Robotics governs the way that a robot lives and serves humans. With Quote's memories fragmented, he is the only one able to disobey them. Curly Brace has a new mission now, to save him from the stranger inside himself.

* ''Comments'': An odd idea for a story, but brilliantly and very emotionally executed; if you don't at least tear up at the ending, you are not human. Quote and Curly are characterized well, and there are some nice touches, such as giving Quote a last name.

* ''Synopsis'': [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: [[Cave Story]] in the form of a novel.

* ''Comments'': A very interesting read. While it does alter the course of the story a bit, it only does it in situations where story is more important than the game's [[Attack! Attack! Attack!|nature]].

* ''Synopsis'': After a few months of relaxation, Curly, Quote and Balrog decide to visit the island again. But when they get there, Misery has a few surprises for them...

* ''Comments'': Absolutely hilarious. The characterizations are all very believable. I also liked how Jenka punished Misery's actions regarding the Demon Crown.

 

''[http://www.cavestory.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4257 Jenka's Nightmare]'' started by Mark "shmitz" Major, completed by LunarSoul

* ''Synopsis'': A fangame sequel to ''[[Cave Story]]'', created with the game's level editor. Quote, Curly, and Balrog are suddenly transported back to The Island by Jenka, with no explanation beyond "Help me". Quote must once again navigate the Island, but a lot has changed....

* ''Comments'': A very well-made sequel, characterization keeps well to the original story {{spoiler|and follows immediately from the ending of Sacred Grounds}}. Difficulty curve is high, as the creators assume the player has beaten Cave Story {{spoiler|including [[Bonus Level of Hell|Hell]],}} and made the challenge appropriately.
