"if you feel as if the game is literally messing with your mind, SHUT THE DAMN THING OFF."

Whole hundred-chapter story is derailed by that one line.

It astounds me how terrible, contrived, and nonsensical this pasta is, almost as much as it astounds me how popular it is. There's no reason for the player not to shut the damn game off and burn it in the backyard at the first sign of weirdness: every time he continues to play, he has no valid reason for it. It's just the author stepping in and forcing a broken story to continue against all logic and reason. Most of the "scary" elements are, like with Slenderman, completely arbitrary nonsense.

I can guarantee that the only reason it's a success is because of all the screenshots, which aren't even that good to begin with because of the constant shift in palette and resolution. If they retained an nes palette and resolution throughout, they would have been much more effective, but still wouldn't change the fact that the author should have just made an indie horror game and hosted it on Gamejolt, instead of a shitty "horror" story to terrify retarded twelve-year-olds. Some of the sprites are fantastic, especially in the Zenith chapter. Blows my mind that he wasted them on this pile of shit instead of using them in a cool spooky game.

Like most "classic" creepypastas, this story is a fucking joke. I can't imagine it'll stay on the wiki much longer purely for historical purposes. If this is the best pasta you've ever read, then you must've only read two others. And I can guess what those two others are.
