![The top comic panel glows. You see, upon a dark green background, "Press [Enter] To Start!" With an icon symbolizing pressing a key. Though it's hard to make out, text floats in front of and behind it. You need not wonder what it says.
"You boot up the game. The slight hum of your computer, the dim light of the screen, the familiarity of your implements, they all give you comfort. You are familiar with all of this, you have been for years. Even the game isn’t new, and yet... after so long it feels different. Regardless, nostalgia is comfort. You feel safe, for now."
The second panel, a later point of the experience, depicts a monochrome setting, save for two Blue eyes. A messy-haired man walks through the street, passing homes and mailboxes.
A text box reads:
"Elliot wonders why he has come here. He doesn't go out much."
Elliot, the Blue haired man, seems disgruntled, strolling with hands in pockets and a grimace.
A text box reads:
"It's out of character for him, yet, he feels drawn..."

The first panel depicts a crudely drawn map. Markers denote landmarks you may stop at. A Schoolhouse, a Library, a Neighborhood, a Forest, an Arcade, a Mall, a ______ ___, a Mall, a Graveyard At The Edge Of Town, and an Apartment Building. The Marker is lit, and blue text comes off of it.
"Finally, home."
In the top right, an icon describes the time as day with a symbol of the time, indicating night is in sight.
The second panel depicts a short woman glaring up at Point Of View in front of a door labeled 114. She asks:
"What the hell do you want?"
Three answers, the first highlighted blue, say:
Sorry...
What's your problem?
I was just saying hi.
Don't go to bed?
Yes No
A bed sits in the greening void.
It is Nght.
Elliot stares into the black glass.
"Elliot cannot be seen in the mirror."
"Only You can."
Elliot turns away, disturbed by a view he cannot possibly have seen.
"Ellio doesn't want to think about what he saw."
So
Do
You
@eyepatchwolf.bsky.social Thanks a lot for making ANOTHER video on fake games to get hyperfixated on. I am blighted with visions of fake videogames now, and we are but slaves to the notion. This weird Scratch/Flash inspired style we made shall follow us for years to come.
