A Letter to my Valentine

A Letter to my Valentine

I am a huge fan of indie games you tell me one ill probably play it in my spare time. I spend my days surfing the web looking for games that would interest me or at least keep me occupied while I try to pass the time. My favourite time is when indie speed run contest come around and many indie developers get to show what they can do behind a computer and create a game that would be prize worthy. I played all of the games but one really caught my eye. It was called A letter to my valentine. I wanted to play it but it required two players to play it. I wished I could play it but in order to do that I would have to wait until my friend comes back from his vacation. One day I created a profile name with a fake name called Jack and left my pc with the game left on. When I came back I saw another player has joined my game. The profile name was mangled almost like glitched so I was unable to read it. The first thing the man wrote was “Hi” so I also wrote Hi. He went silent for a couple of minutes and then he wrote. “Do you feel alone”. I was creeped out but I wrote no. Then the game froze and from the chat screen it went to the game. I played as a woman in a red dress and also the stalker was a man in a black sweater and with black hair. The objective was to run away from youre stalker. It looked simple so I naturally started running but things started to get weird. The woman I was playing as started yelling at me “RUN” and “HE CANT GET TO ME PLEASE RUN AND HIDE ME AWAY”. It was weird because I thought indie speed run games don’t have voice acting in them. But the stalker eventually caught up with me and the women screamed so loud I had to remove my headphones and the game went to the chat screen and the man’s profile name was now normal like nothing happened but it still was unreadable. He said to me “Im here to make you feel full again to make you feel less lonely”. I was scared and quit the game and shutdown my pc and went to sleep. I slept like a baby which was weird because after that play session I thought I would have nightmares for at least a week but I was wrong. After I got up I went and splashed cold water in my face, ate breakfast and turned on my PC. After everything loaded I was thinking what should I play next. So I went to my game folder to see nothing but A letter to my valentine. It was the only game in there and it looked like all my games were deleted it felt like when I was sleeping my computer got turned on and all my games were deleted like someone wanted me to play it. So I turned on the game and created the same profile with the same name and to my surprise the man who played with me was back in my chat screen. His screen name was still glitching, but now it looked more readable, it almost looked like it said Nightmare.I was awaiting what would the man say next but he was silent, but right as the game started he said “Im having so much fun with you. How about you.”.I was scared so much my hands started shaking but it was to late to quit the game. The game started the same way but now the streets were empty. No civilians no nothing only empty space. Not even the stalker was chasing me. Then the game froze and I was unable to move I was stuck. Then the stalker caught up with me and a deep voice yelled “FOUND YOU”. I was freaked out so I immiadetly turned the game off. I planned to show whats happening to my friend so I can make sure im not going insane. A few days later my friend Alex came back from his vacation and I told him to come over to my house as fast as possible. The day he returned he came over my house with his laptop and the game already on it so we can play it as soon as possible. We loaded up the game and we created two profile names I made the same profile name and my friend wanted to make a profile with his real name. I didn’t let him I said make a fake name and use it for youre profile. So he did the thing I told him and he made a profile named Chris. We were sent to the chat screen and the man’s profile name now looked normal and it did say Nightmare.When the man saw that I brought someone in the game with me he said “You ruined our play time now youre friend is going to pay”. My friend laughed and waited for the game to start. When the game started I was not playing, but my friend took my place and played as the woman. He was surrounded by the stalker. It looked like the game glitched. The woman was caught and the game ended. Me and my friend were scared and we both deleted the game. My friend went home and I went to sleep. I couldn’t sleep all night I was thinking about what has happened. When I was about to shut my eyes and go to sleep I got a phone call from my friends mom saying that my friend got murdered. I was shocked I couldn’t sleep I got out of my bed got dressed and went to see whats going on. I thought it was a sick joke and nothing has actually happened, but I was so wrong. I saw police lights all around his house, his mother crying and his dad talking to the police men. When I came along they said that the body was taken away and they caught the man that killed him. They said that theyre going to show this in the news tommarow. I went home and I couldn’t sleep so I turned on my pc to pass the time. I was surprised that the game was the only game in my pc so I clicked on the game and created the same profile. When I went to the chat screen I was the only one there, after that I turned off the game and deleted it. It was morning and they reported on what happened. What I saw next was so unbelievable I couldn’t think straight. The man that they brought in looked the same as the stalker in the game. He got sentenced to spend the rest of his life in a prison cell. The last of the report he turned to the camera and said “ Jack this is just the start and you know how it ends”, the man then started smiling at me. His smile pierced right through me, right into my soul.
