Super Lesbian Horse RPG -preemptive game of the year edition- (commonly referred to as "slur-pee-gee" or "slurp") is an RPG Maker game that was released by Ponett (Bobby Schroeder), and has been cited by Equestria Gaming as "the strangest RPG released yet."

Premise

The game is summed up by Ponett as

" so anyway... what is super lesbian horse rpg, you may be asking? well, it’s my very first video game! and a very personal one at that. more specifically, it’s a romantic horse comedy indie JRPG full of adventures and dialogue and cute stuff and very, very weird stuff. basically, fluttershy and rainbow dash want to do something fun on their day off, but their friends have other plans"

— Ponett, game creator

Development

The project was released six months later than expected, on Christmas Day. The game was created by Ponett, a Tumblr user. A download link remained on her Tumblr for a few years after release until being removed.

The game is currently serving as the predecessor to an original game being created by Bobby, under the name "Super Lesbian Animal RPG," that has been in various stages of production since 2015. Bobby no longer refers to SLHRPG as anything other than "the original game" or similar.

Gameplay/Features

The game features overworld traveling in the style that is reminiscent of the EarthBound style, and maintains this way of playing in combat. The first trailer of the game presents a basic rundown of the game's playing. Many enemies featured are characters that are well known (or comical imitations of) characters from other fandoms and memes.

Only four out of six mane cast are playable in this game: Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash as the protagonists, and then Twilight and Applejack as the "third wheel" and "fourth wheel", respectively. Meanwhile, Rarity remains an NPC and Pinkie Pie opens up an inn near the town of Ponett, working for Mr. and Mrs. Cake.

Other important cast from the original show include Spike, who acts as a bestiary, the Cutie Mark Crusaders who open up sundries to support the heroines with items and armory, Babs Seed who opens a gem trading store (an equivalence to Dragon Quest's Mini Medal trading), and Shining Armor, who appears briefly as an NPC.

Plot

Fluttershy wakes up one morning to visit her girlfriend Rainbow Dash in the town of Ponett. After exchanging a kiss, the lesbian horses decide to go a date. Unfortunately, the date is cut short by Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Ponett, who messes around with Rainbow Dash's basement and turns it into a dungeon for the sake of "friendship experience".

After the three mares reach the end of a long, overly-simplified corridor, they realize there is something wrong. The dungeon leads to someplace deeper than Twilight believes, with the surroundings falling apart as if reality itself is distorted, and powerful monsters lurk around the area. After the cast defeats the boss of Twilight's dungeon, a mysterious tape-face sorcerer calling himself "Javis" appears and greets them. After verbally shoving him off, the cast find themselves in the cave near Ponett.

The day after the incident, Twilight calls the couple to her house and expresses her worry about Javis. As the three are beginning their adventure to find out who Javis is, it appears that Applejack is missing, with evidence showing that she has gone to Ferus, a rather dangerous area to the east of Equus Island. The heroines travel across the region of Ferus and stumble on its desert as well as the Mysterious Ruin, where they find Applejack trapped inside.

The Mysterious Ruin, much like Rainbow Dash's Basement beforehand, is plagued with surreal environment and bizarre monsters. As the four wander to the innermost chamber, they confront Javis and realize his plan. Javis originally had come to the Equus Islands because he had noticed Twilight's dungeon, believing that the citizens of Equus built dungeons commonly and planning to fly under the radar with dungeons of his own, which housed three machines called scramblers. Scramblers were meant to break down a universe into its rawest form, in this case allowing Javis' master (Queen Verena) to conquer it easily upon arrival. Realizing Javis is truly evil, the heroines make a stand against him, but during the confrontation, Rainbow Dash, being too arrogant and overprotective toward Fluttershy, accidentally calls the latter a fragile weakling. She also casts all the blame of the crisis toward Twilight. Amidst of the team's bickering, Javis flees and leave his minions behind. After a boss fight, The team becomes scattered to the point Applejack, the only one who's not having any problem, forces herself into the leader position to get the team going. The heroines trash Javis' portal and travel to their next destination, the tallest mountain in Equus Island (Mt. Gay) where the final battle awaits them.

The heroines arrives at Mt. Gay to realize it's been turned into a bizarre world of Javis' creations. In what seems to be the final battle, Javis teleports the cast elsewhere, separating them. Rainbow reunites with Fluttershy shortly afterward and delivers a heartfelt speech explaining her love for Fluttershy. Fluttershy, realizing Rainbow's devotion, forgives her. The couple traces for Applejack and Twilight, preparing for the final battle with Javis. Javis is defeated, but has stalled long enough that his master materializes in front of everyone present. Queen Verena states her plans for universal domination, but is felled by the reunited ponies. Verena, not wanting to accept defeat, consumes the entirety of Mt. Gay and emerges as an all-powerful abomination. After the group escapes the mountain, almost everypony seems content to flee and pursue help, but Fluttershy, who has learned a lesson on getting over her cowardice, challenges Verena into a battle. With the power of love, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash transform into powerful, love-fueled creatures, and defeat Verena again with their powerful Love Cannon. After Verena's defeat, she gives up on conquering the Equus Islands (and, by extension, the universe) and retreats. Javis, however, is left behind, his cane (which grants him his magical abilities) stolen by Verena. He then gets placed under royal arrest by Twilight.

Peace finally returns to the ponies' world. Twilight finally realizes that she cannot force ponies into friendship experiences and bonding like she tried with her dungeons, while the main couple finally gets together again. Twilight and Applejack return to their lives, while Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash returns to the former's place, determined to finally spend some time together.
