Lost Hope

The Resting

I was finally told the name of the PizzaPlex. Someone said it was called "Annie's Play-Place." Great. Now, I need to memorize this entire attraction and the hiding spots as well. Father told me that the animatronics would watch over me if he wasn't around... Creepy... But he's just trying to protect me. He's protecting me too much, however. Animatronics? Really? First the stuffed animals, then the camera in my own bedroom, and now... This? Bummer, I can't have one moment by myself anymore. None of this had to do with me either, right? The 1979 incident had nothing to do with me. That child didn't even have a confirmed name. That child is the reason I'm trapped. It's that child's fault, but they didn't know... I don't have the time to think about that though.

I need to find the animatronics first.

I looked around the PizzaPlex and stumbled upon the arcade room. I reached my hand out to play the "Prince Quest" game. It was of yellow colouration, beautiful glowing lanterns surrounding the machine. "Light up the night and find the keys to the hidden doors in order to save the princess!" I put my hand on the controller, and pulled it back after a paper was seen with bold letters "OUT OF ORDER." Ugh... It looked so cool. I shouldn't be distracting myself like this though.

Annie... God where are these bots... Wait, there were supposed to be three right? Annie, uh, I think Sammy, and Will! Strange, they sound familiar. Ah, I'm getting off-track again. Okay, we have the Daycare, Fizzy-Frenzy, Perfect Pizza Maker, MiniFoods, and... There! Animatronic Showcase. Right when I walked into that room, they all looked from the children they were busy entertaining to me. I guess since I looked visibly uncomfortable they stopped. Their eyelids lowered and they continued to entertain the children as they were before. I left that room to think about what to do next. I decide to look through the PizzaPlex and see what more there can be here. I run back to the arcade room and search for that game. It was out of place unlike everything else. Looking at the back and the wiring of the machine made me realize... This isn't a game that's supposed to be here. The wiring was fake. It was battery propelled and seemed a lot smaller than the other arcade machine. Ha, very funny, but who would do this? Why? Despite being weak, both at heart and physically, I grab the machine and run to the maintenance room with it on my back. 

After putting the game back down, I turn it on.

"Prince Quest" You are trapped in the Shadow Monster's dungeon. Escape and save your beloved Princess before time runs out!

...

I've gotten two of three endings so far, but I don't have enough motivation to complete it. That game was rather... Symbolic? The Prince was looking for his Princess and during the process had to fight these strange shadow creatures, perhaps the Shadow Monster's servants? Oh right, the two endings. 

Ending one was where the Prince ends up going through the purple door and witnesses the Princess being taken by the Shadow Monster.

Ending two was where the Prince ends up saving the Princess, but the Shadow Monster is still waiting to catch her. 

Hm... I need to find more, but I don't want to play the game right now. I look for any clues or weird symbols on the machine itself. I even take it as far as looking under it.

Then I find it.

"Not every story has a happy ending -- 1979"

I found it. I know what this game means.
