Among the sleep inspiration?

This is a game that is 100% lost and if you say it isn't real I can't blame you but I've seen this game before. The game starts you off in a house kinda like they do in tattle tail with the objective of surviving. You are put in a dark house with a blue auora everywhere in 3rd person with a teddy bear (not a Alive one this game is NOT among the sleep) you walk around a big house trying to out maneuver the monster the tell that the monster is near by Is its glowing yellow eyes that stare at you from the darkness waiting to pounce waiting in the dark blue to kill you. The house had like 2 kitchens each unique one being a open air kitchen and another with a window (pointing into the living room) aswell with other less notable rooms. The game was hard (or the person who was playing it was bad) so much so it was dubbed a bad game for how hard it actually was. While a few walk throughs on YouTube I don't ever think I saw the ending to the game. But those yellow eyes man. They stuck with me and I can never get that image in my mind go...

Something really weird just happened to me with the Hamtaro gba game

I had this hamtaro cartridge that had been lying around for a long time. So I decided to launch it on my gba. I already had a part on it that I hadn't finished before creating a new part. I decide to take a look in the sticker journal and I see that there are some slightly buggy images. I continue to look at it. the game gives me a black screen but there is still happy music in the background and there is this thing after that I turn off my console and turn it back on and it puts a message saying that my data will be deleted following a problem. And since then the game is working without problem for the moment. If anyone has any explanation I'm all ears. ps: I am French so excuse me for my English level Google translation

Found this weird Petscop inspired early 2000s styled 3D platformer that is deeper than it seems [Free Demo]

Demo for "Happy! the Hippo" has been out for a while on steam and it is a new unfiction arg project themed much like petscop and shipwrecked 64. There are a few people right now on the games discord digging through and finding new things every day. Genuinely just think this needs more eyes on it:

Does anyone know where I can find this game?

I can't seem to find any leads other than reverse image searching the portraits shown in game, which are famous criminals in japan known for cruelty against animals and children and such, I assume this game is to condemn them and their actions but I am curious of the origins regardless.

This is the only gameplay link I found (which was posted quite recently):

Found this weird memory card game...

It's a little glitchy but it starts off as a simple memory game though from screenshots and when I got a little further ... Some weird options came up. Not that good a game but pretty strange.

bear in the snow (handmade surreal game)

Hi everyone!
I made this game over the course of four years. I had never made a game before, which you will probably be able to tell, but I think it is worth playing all the way through to the end (about 20 minutes). There's also a whole extensive secret path that nobody has found the end of thus far.

This game was mostly a bunch of images that popped into my head to music I was making, which were mostly inspired by experiences in the woods and on mountains in northeastern United States.

It's currently free to download.

Hope you enjoy!!

Batman stalking the player in Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League and The Batman Experience..

So, if anyone here has played Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League, you know about the Batman experience.

If you don’t know, basically, while you’re exploring the museum, the whole place is dark with the exception of red lights, which in turn make the place look creepy, and the fact that Batman is in the rafters walking around is god damn chilling, you can see him walk around corners, and the scene where he beats up the Flash is creepy due to the lack of light.

Another creepy thing is how when you explore metropolis, you can see Batman stalking you from the top of rooftops and other places, it’s such a creepy sight due to the fact that he doesn’t pounce or anything, he just stands there watching you, it’s so creepy..

What's the creepiest/unnerving song you ever heard in a non-horror game?

I've seen posts here about people talking about the creepiest non-horror games, but I've never seen any posts talking about the creepiest song of a non-horror game, so I'll go first: The World of Nothing from Super Paper Mario still creeps me out to this day, so It's probably that, if you know about the context of the song and the area it plays in, then you'll understand why.

So either that or US Boss Theme from Sonic CD, which creeped the absolute shit out of me when I was younger, but it doesn't really now

Minecraft world haunted by demonic entity

It's about this weird YouTube channel called Old Minecraft Reuploads , the channel uploaded 9 videos which are pretty eerie and seem to tell the story of 2 friends, Anthony and Mario, who have their Minecraft world haunted by a malevolent entity. It's an old story I've come across recently through this video:

https://youtu.be/vjKwaLwX8Yo?si=jXTZaiIbfSe_Cjjh

I recommend you watch it to understand things better before reading my own perspective, also watch the original 9 videos on the channel if you want.

  While researching the story I saw this reddit post made here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/creepygaming/s/aVngruVjfG

  So I said I'll post my own opinion of it, maybe you guys are more open minded and won't get triggered because it's gonna get very religious, you can't explain the demonic without it and I'm very certain the demonic was the inspiration for it

  Let's begin the analysis, throw common reason out of the way because we won't be using it here. I will be applying a biblical approach to this story and I'm not trying to push any religious idea on anyone or whatever, I know that to many people religion is like sunlight to vampires, just the mere mention makes them burn. I'm merely stating the possible inspiration for these videos, I hope we can keep a respectful atmosphere and throw our own theories in, here's mine:

  These anomalies can be linked to demonic activity and appear to be because of what Anthony may have done, a sin.

  Before I explain the demonic manifestations in the videos and why I think it's a demon, you need to understand how the demonic operates and how it applies to this situation

Here's a general summary:   

  There are as many ways to get demons involved in your life as there are sins because that's what demons need to gain rights over you, sins, being a bad person. Once you've committed a sin or even worse, try to directly establish connection with a demon, the demon gains rights of ownership over your property and over you..... Those rights of ownership are of spiritual nature, committing sins means rejecting God and through that you also reject God's protection which is what allows demons to mess with you, God will not abandon you and will keep the demon at bay from messing too badly with you but if you further commit sins and don't repent the torment will increase as the demon gains more rights

  It's weird, logically speaking sinners are devil's property anyway, he doesn't need to exercise power over them so why would demons even want to directly manifest in a person's life? Makes people aware of their existence and seems impractical but there must be a benefit to it, perhaps it gives them a break from being in hell all the time, perhaps just amusement. Moving on, I can go on too much about it.

After the rights are established the demon will choose a place of dwelling, this can be your property ( objects, house, land, anything that you own) which is called demonic infestation, or you (your body) which is called demonic possession, they might also choose to just stick close and follow you around, dwell within your space, a demonic haunting. It can be one or any combination of those things.

  I'd like to also state that from a biblical perspective it's impossible for the entity haunting their Minecraft world to be a ghost because there are no ghosts roaming the earth, you either go to heaven or go to hell. Ghosts are an idea demons use to seek permissions and rights from mortals, also a good excuse to play around without the mischief being traced to their presence

  Now that you have a general idea of how the demonic works let's analyze what exactly happened in this story, it is a very interesting concept as I've always wondered if demons could directly manifest in programming. It's pretty clear that Anthony is the source of all these attacks and whatever he did could be connected to Minecraft, not necessarily but the fact that the demon still haunted the world after being downloaded by Mario, a different person in a different location, makes it very likely. Could be that Mario is negatively connected to what Anthony did as well

  In the video "other" I find their conversation very significant, there seems to be illness plaguing Anthony, physical or psychological, maybe both, it could be a result of guilt over what he did. There already are anomalies happening which I consider demonic manifestations captured within the recording itself, the weird glitches and cut at the end. Most intriguing is the word "hope" being unaffected by those glitches every time it's written, "hope" is a word demons hate a LOT because there is no hope in hell, just eternal torment and separation from God.

The other videos just show simple manifestations to frighten the person, there is no message or tidbit I can gather except one video...."other 2". In that video Anthony is mining and the screen suddenly goes dark, he finds himself within a huge structure boxing him in, he walks forward and takes him a bit to find the end where there is a gate like structure made of an arrangement of fences blocking the way, then the screen goes black again and a coded message is shown directed to Anthony, decoding it makes it this: "You never really were the nicest person Anthony", "Quit lying to yourself".

Demons like to mock humans, tell us how stupid and ignorant we are because we fall for their business schemes, sins are the merchandise they trade with us in limited existence and for it we pay with our souls, fueling hell in eternity, that's why they laugh.

The construction in which Anthony was transported seems to be a representation of hell, even the gates which are supposed to be huge are there, if there was something that represented a lock on them I'd be 100% sold. Through the construction and coded message the demon meant to show Anthony where he belongs because of the choices he made

  It's unfortunate I can't gather more from these short videos to prove demonic was the inspiration. There is just one other thing I noticed, every time an anomaly happens with the gameplay it happens when the player enters caves underground.

Bible verse : 2 Peter 2:4 (NCV) When angels sinned, God did not let them go free without punishment. He sent them to hell and put them in caves of darkness where they are being held for judgement

An exception is in the "castle construction" video where Anthony can't see his character in the inventory screen but still looks at the hole going underground because he knows that's where weird things happen. The other exception is in the last video posted "mob grinder" when Anthony sees that all mobs on the surface were killed....after exiting a cave (I don't know if he was actually transported there, it was a weird cut in the video)

That's all I have to say about this channel and it's uploads, if this was a project made by 2 dudes and this was their inspiration then 2 thumbs up bro, it's nice and cultured, they've done their research and implemented it well in subtle ways. What's your opinion on this story? Don't say Herobrine
