Introduction

• [A close up of GingerBrave's face in The Witch's Oven is shown. He sweats a lot.]
• [He is revealed to be on a tray with other GingerBrave-like Cookies that appear to be dead.]
• [GingerBrave is seen from an overhead view, and he talks to the camera.]
• GingerBrave: I can't be eaten alive like this! Help me escape this hot oven!
• [GingerBrave is seen from an overhead view, and three options appear, "Bake & Eat", "BREAK OUT", and "Google Play Login" (on Android)]
• [If no buttons are pressed, GingerBrave will cycle through the following quotes.]
  • It's getting hot in here!
  • No! I wanna get out of here!
  • I'm not even that tasty...
  • I refuse to be eaten alive!
  • Where is this? Inside the oven?
• [If the "Bake & Eat" button is pressed, nothing will happen, except GingerBrave will say one of the following quotes.]
  • You... can't be serious?
  • Even Cookies have lives!
  • Give it a rest!
  • Don't you pity me?
  • You're going to let me die?
  • Such cruelty...
  • How... how dare you!

  • Tell me, WHY?
  • Where did I go wrong?
  • Baking is bad!
  • It's kind hot in here
  • Ouch! I think I just burnt a little!
  • That's evil!
  • Stop it already!
  • I beg you!
  • Stop baking me!
  • I had hopes... Dreams...
  • Think I'm going to give up?
  • No! You HAVE to save me!
  • Are you for real?
  • But why...
  • Really...?
    • Sigh* Will I be able to escape from here one day?
  • You're a stubborn one, aren't you?
  • Last chance to change your mind!

[Once "BREAK OUT" is selected, the loading screen will pop up and after it, gameplay will begin.]
