It was a usual evening. You were bored and surfed the web looking for a pastime. Suddenly you ran into a game of your childhood that turns out to still exist online. Urged by a rush of nostalgia, you entered the server and started a new match. You were curious to experience all those teen emotions once again. But nobody entered the battle. You were all alone on the map. At first you wanted to quit, but something made you walk around and investigate the surroundings. Nothing special, just grass and hills with a few buildings. A standard multiplayer map. You made your way pretty far, looking into the ruins and walking the empty dark halls. Finally, you saw the enemy’s flag that wasn’t protected by anyone. You took it into your hands and that’s where creepy things began to happen.
Someone else joined the server! Someone named John typed you a message asking why you were still here. But before you could think of anything to answer, he added: Leave us alone! That was weird, since you had already been in the game for quite a lot of time and you still haven’t seen anyone. You tried to talk back to the mysterious guy, but he logged off. That was pretty baffling. Busy with your thoughts and suggestions as to what that all could mean, you didn’t notice at once that the weather had changed. It was now much darker and the whole scenery took a grim, threatening look. Imagining yourself going all the way back through those obscure halls and ruins, you felt a wave of fear. Somehow you calmed down, but once you started walking, you saw a huge eye in the sky!
You knew it! Someone is watching you. You’re not alone here and probably not safe. The instinct of preservation pushed the trigger with your finger and you started shooting at the disturbing vision. The eye didn’t react, but you heard a suspenseful music coming from somewhere. What does it all mean? Is this some kind of a system failure or things will only get worse? Will you be able to get out of the haunted game? You won’t find out until you play!
