The Phantom Game: Difference between revisions

It was a brisk, overcast Sunday in march. I was in the front yard. Yes, I was looking for 4-leaf clovers, when a spot of orange reflected off my silvery, faded, blond hair and caught my attention. It was a soft yet vivid luminescent color. I was drawn to it like a moth to light. That's where I picked up the game, after taking it inside I was going to look for the owner as keeping would be not a good idea, considering I don't official own the game. Before I could do so Mai, Yuka, and Yunna rapidly entered my house. I remembered that we were doing our usual Sunday morning gaming, we were going to play Polybius, or at least the alleged remake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They all agreed and we went to my room, again, as we usually do almost every Sunday. I was starting up my computer when Mai asked where my Play-station 2 was.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was a little creepy but I just shook it off because It wasn't anything really bad. I was whizzing through the game, I killed all zombies I found, every vortigaunt I saw, and all barnacles without taking any damage. I than came to the meat-locker area. I was toying with the meat, just smashing it with the crowbar until it broke into bouncy gibs spattering the old blood sprites on the ground.

After I broke all the meat and we all stopped laughing at the fact that the meat used human gibs I continued on, I encountered a bullsquid in the next room. I switched to the shotgun to kill it. I was about to shoot it but before I could press R2 to fire the bullsquid spat at me, the blobs of acid from the spit hit the screen. Mai falls over, her hands encasing her face as she screamed in agony.

 

 

 

After Mai stopped moving I removed her hands from her face. It was okay, Mai's face wasn't burned or wounded. She was fine. I was worried, I was going to stop playing but again Yuka did it again, I was compelled to play it. This still continued for a long time, and Mai felt a different pain for each different way I took damage. I'd get shot with a hornet gun in the stomach, Mai felt a stabbing pain in her stomach. I'd take fall damage, Mai felt as if her legs fracturing. Over and over again, Yuka kept me there, as far as I know you can't resist against doing what Yuka tells you to when she does her trick without a high emotional state. Yuka kept making me playing, It was almost as if she didn't care about Mai's pain. The thing that tore me away from Yuka's psychic grasp was when I made it to the gargantua boss fight, I dreaded it. Then the garg lit me on fire, Mai fell to the ground, screaming in agony and rolling around.

 

 

Yuka was trying to get me to continue, but knowing how much pain Mai would go through with about 3 hours of gameplay left I was able to resist. I felt the worm-like tapping of Yuka's disturbingly animate fingers on my shoulders, She usually does this to finalize her order. I immediately turned around, smacked Yuka's hands away, and clenched her shoulders tightly.

 

 

She just teared up as Yunna rushed over to comfort her. I knelt beside Mai, she stopped moving, her breathing was reduced to short spasms of her lungs. She'd let out a rapid gasp which would expel violently from her mouth, tossing her short midnight black hair. her eyes were tightly shut, mouth gaping open as she just rested there on her stomach. Exhausted from the pain.

Then my cousin Seiko violently burst in, nearly destroying the door.

 

 

 

I couldn't stand seeing Mai like this, the others kept trying to help her by telling her to calm down, to just rest her legs, and they even put ice on them, but I had an almost perfect understanding of why Mai was feeling this horrid pain at this point, it was something with the game, and I knew the only way I could help her. I shut off the PS2 and ejected the disk. I felt a sense of relief as I heard Mai's crying and screaming die down, reducing to less and less until she stopped.

 

Just get rid of that disk.
