You chose to play the game.

“After all, it is just a harmless game on the computer.” You reasoned. “I mean the worse it can do is give me a virus…” You click the play button.

“Thank you for showing courage to play the game imscared. Please wait for a couple of minutes so the game can set up”

“Well now I have to wait…Damn it…I forgot the possibility of a hacker trying to gain access to my computer.” You facepalm. “Well it is too late for that.”

You sit in your chair impatiently to wait for the game to set up. You decide to pass the time by just staring at your computer screen doing nothing because…let’s face it…that is the most interesting thing to do at the moment. So spin around in your chair to help pass the time but it just made you dizzy.

After several gruesome minutes filled with boredom, the game was done with setup. The game home title appears on your screen. You click the play button and your computer turns off.

“Did I kick the plug again?” You wonder. The screen was black. You check to see if that was the case but it wasn’t that. The plug was in. “Well then I don’t…” A bright light interrupts you and blinds you. You get dizzy again and proceed to faint.

“Ug…my head” You moan. You can’t see a thing with your eyes being blinded before. You try to run them to clear your view. When your vision cleared, you noticed that you aren’t at you house. In fact, you are outside in the middle of the dirt road in foggy weather. You can’t see anything except for three feet in front of you due to the thick fog.

“Where am I and how did I get here?” You look around the area. You notice a certain sign to catch your eye. You walk towards it to get a better view. Once you are close enough you can see that the sign is falling apart and piece of it were chipped away or had sharp claw marks in it. You can barely make out the letters but it said Ponyville on it.

“Well I guess I am at ponyville but I don’t know how I got here.” You ponder to yourself. “I need to find a way back…OW!’ While talking to yourself, something seemed to fall on your head and landed right at your feet. You look around to see what could have caused and found out that it was a rolled up piece of paper. You pick it up and unfold it. In doing so, a compass fell down onto the ground.

“Hun? A compass.” You question why you need a compass. You look at the paper and realize that the piece of paper was a map of the area. “Well that explains the compass.” You examine the map closely. You see six X’s on the map at different locations. Each seemingly to be in the area of this Ponyville.

“Well, this is convenient. I know the area better since I can’t see through this dense fog.” You turn the map over to see a note written on it. “A note?”

Welcome player to the game of Imscared. The object of the game is to go to these locations and find six ponies there. However there are…other complications that you must do and might run into but that is for you to figure out and I am sure that your small pea size brain can understand this. Remember you cannot leave the game until it is finish. There are no rules except survive.

“Survive? Can’t run? What the Hell is going on!” You exclaim. “I arrive in the middle of nowhere and expect to play a game!” You start to walk away from the sign towards the other side of the road. “I think I am dreaming…I really am if I wake up in the middle of a place and I…WHOA!” You were flinged away from where you were and landed right back to the front of the town sign. You landed in the most ungraceful way by landing face first into the soft dirt.

“Ow…” You mumble into the dirt. You try to get up but you just sit down on your but while getting the dirt out of your hair. “That hurt…Oh no! I felt pain which…which means…I AM NOT DREAMING!” You panic. Everything starts to flood to you at once. Then you start to freak out. “This is real, I am in a sick twisted place, to play a game, with God knows what and I have to survive!”

By now you were in a fetal position rocking back and forth trying to understand the situation. You thought really hard for a good 20 minutes and came to the only conclusion. “I have to play a simple game of Hide and seek with the people here…no problem” You say to calm yourself but it came out a little bit shaky. “I always wanted to be in a horror game.”

You find the items that were giving to you, a map and a compass, and try to orient the map at where to go. Since the map had symbol of the sign, it was easy to find out which way to head to. “Well first is the cottage in the middle of the forest.” You gluped at the thought of entering a dark forest, “No problem. “ You head north to the cottage of number six.
