"Dad...DAD!!" Maddy's heart began to rush at the thought of her Dad being in danger.
"What do I do!"
"....I have to help him..."
Maddy grabs her backpack and flashlight from off her desk.
[[Call Dad]] or [[Search for Items]]The call goes straight to voicemail.
For a second, all is quiet.... the only sound Maddy could hear was the beating of her heart.
[[A loud noise is heard coming from outside.]]Maddy runs outside and sees that an unknown ship has just crashed into the lighthouse.
[[Explore the Crash Site]]

"What is going on..." Maddy's eyes widened as she saw a torn flag, lightly fluttering with the cold night breeze. On it, was a symbol of a cross. Was this the reason why Dad never came back?
"I really wish Dad was with me right now"
[[Explore the Crashed Ship]] or [[Go to the lighthouse]]

As Maddy gets closer to the lighthouse she notices that the steel door has been broken off.
Someone can be heard screaming from the inside of lighthouse.

Maddy goes running into the lighthouse. She slowly climbs the spiraling staircase, barely able to see through THICC darkness.
"DAD! Are you in here? Can you hear me?"

You turn around and shine your flashlight to see what was making the noise.

(set: $Ending2 to true)As Maddy walked inside, she found a small room, with nothing but a golden cage... a cage surrounded by seemingly hundreds of small crosses melded onto it. There seemed to be some words inscribed on the outside of the cage.

You stop for a second.... [[grunting noises]] seem to be coming from the direction of the lights.......
Fear.... That was all Maddy felt at that moment Maddy realized that the text was written in Latin, and pulled out her phone to [[translate the text]].The cage stated "Cum arca haec aperta est, sit vobis inferos", which translated to "If this box is ever opened, Hell is upon us"
Reading this puts you into a state of panic...
"Father was trying to keep me safe.... wanting me as far away from whatever was inside this cage"
[[Continue Seaching for Clues]] or [[Leave the Ship]] You decide to pick up a gold cross, which had most likely fallen of the cage. The cross almost resembled a dagger, having an edge sharp enough to cut yourself if you wern't careful.
