Never Play Again

I'm sorry if my writing seems terrible, but I need to tell someone, even after five years of therapy it still haunts my every waking moment and my deepest sleep,this game called Never Play Again. Please hear my story, at least knowing someone might be reading this might keep me sane if only a little while more.

The game started showing me a pixel of what appeared to be Ness from Earthbound, the background was 32- bit and depicted a bright and cheery meadow with bunnies hopping back and fourth and a bright yellow sun and a rainbow.
