The Shock of My Life

WARNING: IF YOU REALLY HATE HORROR MOVIES OR GAMES, OR YOU'RE PRONE TO HEART ATTACKS, DO NOT READ THIS POST. Well, maybe reading it is fine but don't dare go to Google for it. Please continue.

I've never been so incredibly terrified by anything since childhood until last night (Midnight, 31st May 2012). That night, I was randomly looking around a certain forum section and found a certain post regarding the scariest games people have encountered or played so far (Now that I think about it, why the hell did I go there at night lol). After posting my own thought, I've read through the topic page-by-page to see the others' opinion on their own decisions on what's scary (Some were joking of course.).

There is one specific reply that introduced me to a Japanese freeware called "Irusu Syndrome" (DON'T SEARCH IT ANYWHERE JUST YET. Read this message first for your sanity.). This game involves a bunny girl named Irusu Kyouko. Don't judge the book by it's cover, literally. She actually has a mental instability that will kill her friends if she's angry because of her incredibly gory past. To temporary calm her down, you must click "Start" (the first option in the title screen) and play the puzzle game.

As far as I know (I haven't played the game yet, I only read about it through several sites.) you must clear the present blocks in the screen by activating the "inactive" ones that drop down slowly from the top of the screen. The activated blocks must then touch the present blocks of equal color at the bottom to make them disappear and have you earn points and fills a little to your health gauge. You have to think quick though because the health gauge decreases gradually. It also decreases if the activated blocks hit and match the present blocks of the wrong color (usually the cause of losing). Once the game ends (health is depleted entirely) the music changes (to a short sadistic one) and the character behind (Kyouko) will become completely visible to the screen. The way Kyouko will be shown depends on the situation. If you lose multiple times, you will see her cry. After you reach a score of 40,000, it will show her "instable" pics (even her transparent image in the BG during gameplay still creepy as hell). Also while you're still under 40,000, you can instantly and temporarily see it too just by pressing Alt + Tab or making your game window inactive. DON'T DO IT.

There are also like a few endings to see here in this game. The first is by having to lose six times consecutively while those scores are under 20,000. While doing so, notice that the photo.png in the directory changes as well as you do so, depending on how the story goes (this is restored after a single 40,000-score game or after you've seen the ending). The first ending shows that each of the three friends of Kyouko goes missing after every two game losses with a score under 20,000, along with a news broadcast to top it up. At this point, your photo.png is completely scribbled off. Restart the game to restore it back to normal.

The second ending can be seen when you score = or > 20,000 and > 40,000. This one is way creepier, despite the fact that it's called a "Good Ending". In this one, you watch the scene behind one of Kyouko's friends, who is taking a look at the photos and notes that were on the ground in a cabin. While she is looking at them and wondering what was their purpose, Kyouko sneaks up behind her from LITERALLY OUTSIDE YOUR GAME WINDOW AND FROM THE LEFT-EDGE OF YOUR DESKTOP in her mentally-instable state and while holding a baseball bat with nails on it. After that, the scene ends with Kyouko hitting her friend with it while showing two creepy pics of her. Then the game closes itself. I'm not kidding, it really does that. However if you open the game again, you actually get to continue this ending's scenes instead of heading to the title screen. In this scene, all four characters involved in the game are friendly to each other. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" The end! (photo.png is restored at this point and you return to the title screen. The scene before that is probably a hoax, but no one actually knows what really happened.)

There's yet another ending after a score over 100,000, but you need to be a hardcore gamer to get that far. When you do, you will receive another image file that shows a drawing by one of Kyouko's friend (and it contains hardcore gore lol). This will add on to the story on what has happened in their pasts, although I won't go into detail about it.

Other easter eggs include having the BG in the title screen to instantly change if you wait for a while there without doing anything. The BG changes to the text recorded in Kyouko's diary, but you can't read much since the title, the menu options, and the character portrait are in the way. There are also ASCII arts and probably messages in .txt files it gives out as you play further into the game, helping you understand the story of this game.

Hmm, what else is there to mention? Well, nothing else except DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. If you dare do so, I recommend you to at least play it in day time or while you're with two or more friends. I also hope that you enjoyed reading all I've described about it above. The gameplay is very simple, but mess up and you're going into a world of mental pain. Also don't forget to try to get the English translation patch while you're at it.

If you like to see someone else play it instead, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRzVPZkGBdQ

Now if you excuse me, I have some GM business in AngelJam to do.
