Hello everyone!
I know that this month has been making everyone pretty anxious with everything that's going on.
This is really the first time I'm experiencing the brunt of all of this, so it's been a... let's say, learning experience!
I've been trying to think of a way to get my mind off of all of this, so can I ask a favor of you?

Can you please tell me some of your favorite scary stories? I want to hear your best! （*/∇＼*）

Yeah... Perfect for those creepy movies too where it's all bleak and suddenly, a flash of white! Then red I guess.

Oh! There was this cult-classic horror game where you're trying to avoid a ghost girl in a white, but bloodied dress. She wanders around while you do other things to progress, but if she touches you, game over instantly.

Oh?

Is that one of those games where you can't defend yourself like in other games?
You can't use weapons or anything.
I've heard they've been getting more popular.

Something like that! Your weapon is a magical flashlight and it starts off really weak...

I guess that's scarier than being able to shoot down everything spooky.

Being able to just shoot down anything that attacks you does seem a lot easier than having to rely on something else.

Well, most horror games with guns put a limit on bullets for some tension or to raise the difficulty.

But having a normal weapon makes you feel a little more in-control.

Back to the ghost in the game, she apparently has a sad backstory? You collect her notes and stuff from when she was alive.

Is there any way to get a happy ending for the ghost in the game?

Or can you only save yourself?

I think the best ending has you help her find peace! Of course, that's the harder one to get, and she's still dead.

There are also a few bad endings, but those happen if you're selfish. Sympathy for the dead is probably the message here.

I wonder which is the ending that most people get...
