Nightmarish creatures lurk in the slimy depths of Scorpion Swamp!

You're no fool. All your life you've heard tales of Scorpion Swamp and how it is criss-crossed with treacherous paths leading to the haunts of its disgusting denizens. One step out of place spells a certain and lingering death. But now, the swamp holds out the lure of treasure and glory - and you cannot resist the challenge!

Unlike many other Fighting Fantasy adventures, Scorpion Swamp doesn’t force you onto a single quest - you choose your fate by picking one of three very different missions, each offered by a patron aligned with Good, Evil, or Neutral intentions.

Good — A benevolent wizard tasks you with retrieving a rare magical plant hidden deep in the swamp.
Evil — A sinister warlock demands you bring back powerful amulets from the swamp’s mighty “Masters” - if you dare.
Neutral — A shrewd trader needs a map of the swamp’s trade route to open trade caravans through its wild heart.

Each path offers a distinct experience, different challenges, and a unique perspective on the swamp’s dark secrets. Once inside, you are free to wander and return. Scorpion Swamp breaks away from purely linear progression. Players may roam, revisit previously explored areas, and chart their own course - testing wits, luck, and will!
