DEAD SERVER
The game starts with an image of a VHS tape, hovering on your desktop. Click on that, and the game begins with a sketchy MS-DOS-style menu. A multiplayer server list appears on the screen. They’re all empty. Click on one, and you enter a lonely CTF match of a Quake-era FPS, with blocky geometry and fuzzy textures. Return the flag once, and strange things start happening: Twin Peaks-esque music will blare from a record player that appears in one part of the map. A mysterious dark figure appears to be watching you, flickering away as you get closer.
The dark figure reappears. called ends. An empty multiplayer map, it turns out, is a fantastic setting for a horror game.
