You are standing by a tree
There are 3 paths.
One appears to go to a jungle,
one appears to go to a cave,
one appears to go to a beach,
you could try and climb the tree,
there is a nearby shop you could go in,
or you could do something else.
So what's its going to be?

You sit under the tree
You sit under the tree.
Suddenly...

See? Keep moving or you get tranked. That's how the game is played.
Your relaxing moment under the tree is rudely interrupted by an abrupt transformation. You are hit by a tranquilizer dart, which turns you into a person with a tranquilizer dart stuck in their neck. It's an easy change. Of course, your train of thought gets about as far as "Oh good heavens, a dart of some kind. I'd betteeerrgmphqq," at which point the dart takes effect, and you slump under the tree like a drugged-up rag doll. A half-hearted twitch is all the moving you do for quite some time. Eventually, you wake up. When you do, you are...

The Institute
Whatever was in the tranquilizer, it's not very eager to wear off. In the vague fog between awake and asleep, you learn that you are in a sitting position, in a mildly comfortable chair, and there is a nice-sounding voice welcoming you to the Transformational Institute.
Your mind clears. You are in what appears to be some sort of lobbey. The walls are covered with mirror tiles (probably one-way mirrors hiding cameras, you note), as are the ceiling and floor. There is also a plain white desk, with an attractive woman in a labcoat sitting behind it.
On the wall behind her you see an elevator, and a frightening-looking black double door marked "Main Lab." On the wall to your right, there is a far friendlier door with a smiley face on it and a large orange "Welcome" painted on it. The woman in the labcoat smiles at you.
"Just pick a door and you'll be on your way."
So, which door do you pick?

The Main Lab
Feeling brave, you pass through the imposing double doors and find yourself in a seemingly endless hallway. On either side are doors. The door behind you is locked, so your only option is to pick a new door. Where do you go from here?

This is Botany?
You go through the door marked "Botany Lab." Plants seem very non-creepy.
Unfortunately, you're greeted only by another long hallway. After a few twists and turns, you find more doors. Which one do you go through now?

Symbiotic Seeding? Sounds sublime!
You walk into "Symbiotic Seeding," and are greeted by a poorly lit room. There appears to be someone at some sort of a control panel near the back, but the figure is obscured by shadow. He, however, sees you, and calls out to you in an untrustworthy-sounding voice.
"Welcome, my new friend. You have been selected to participate in our human-plant symbiotic experiment.
Disrobe and step into the tub to your right." A spotlight comes on at that moment, illuminating a tub, to your right. You hesitate. The tub is an unusual tub.
It's deeper than an ordinary bathtub,and instead of one single faucet, the entire tub is dotted with tiny hoses. "I would advise you to cooperate," the voice tells you. The light shifts slightly, and you see why. The figure at the control panel is flanked by four, perhaps more, imposing silhouettes, each about twice as tall as the man at the control panel, and each one appears capable of snapping you like a twig.
Reluctantly, you step into the tub, which begins filling with odd, dark gray, syrupy fluid. You would almost call it mud, but it's too artificial-looking, and too sticky. The tub fills until you're completely covered, and then the liquid quickly drains out. You, however, are still completely covered in the goo. The tub then fills with what feels like water. You think the water will wash the goo off, but it doesn't. After a little while, the water drains out too. The man at the control panel instructs you to stand, and you do.
At that point, more lights come on near you, although you can't see the man. You can, however, see the mirror-covered walls, and you're shocked at what you see.
You're totally covered in the gray, sticky goo, which has hardened into a tough yet flexible shell. Covering this, though, are tiny flecks that must have been in the water. These start to burrow through the shell, and then into your skin! Your entire body suddenly erupts into a burning pain. You try to claw at the evil little specks, but the gray shell protects them. You can't even scream, your mouth is sealed shut by the ooze. All you can do is moan in agony as the scientist watches unmoved.
The shell, however, has started to cake and fall off. At first in little crumbs. Then, huge sheets of the terrible stuff roll of of you. This brings no relief to the pain, though--as the shell falls off of you, it tears away at your hair and some dead skin. Over your screams, the scientist shouts to get back in the tub. You oblige, hoping to end your suffering. This time, the tub is filled with a shimmering clear liquid that just might be water this time. Instantly, your pain is soothed. You linger in the water for a moment before you climb back out to see what, exactly, has been done to you.
The first thing you notice is that all of your hair is gone. Every last hair on you has been ripped from your body by the crumbling shell. Then you see your skin erupting with what look like green pimples. But they're not. They're something far worse than acne. The scientist explains: "The little flecks that burrowed into you were seeds, specially made to form a plant-based symbiotic with a human. They'll form a nice coat for you, and you'll benefit from their photosynthesis. They, in return, will absorb water and nutrients from your body. It's a beautiful relationship, and it's about to start, right...now!" On the word "now," slender blades of grass burst from your skin, covering every inch of you in what looks like green fur. You try to rip the plants out, but to no avail.
You've successfully completed the symbiotic seeding program. A door opens up nearby and you go through, awaiting whatever awaits a human-plant symbiotic.
