Summary
Poe Polybius is a coder, a playtester, a self proclaimed gamer, and most importantly it's the most recent hire on Gamefuna's team to test out the up and coming Inscryption. It's clear that this isn't a normal game from the get go- what sort of floppy disk can hold this much information in it anyways?- but it's soon revealed that there's much more buried deep beneath the surface than anything it could fathom.

Summary
On a whim, Sayori decides to play a dating sim game that she found by accident. It was a silly idea, but she didn't have anything better to do with her life and she heard that videogames are good for escapism. A bit of a shame that the game's haunted and trying to kill her, but it all takes a very different turn from a life-threatening nightmare everyone expected.
(Partially inspired by SubspaceEntity's work though my approach is different)

Summary
During a rainy-night birthday party, a group of friends revives an old classic—Truth or Dare—expecting nothing more than a few awkward laughs and harmless secrets. But what begins as fun takes a strange turn when the truths they confess start unfolding in the real world. And the dares? Outrageous, unpredictable… and somehow impossible to avoid.
At first, it's thrilling. Texting crushes, stealing garden gnomes, jumping into pools—coincidences, surely. But as the dares grow riskier and the truths cut deeper, the group begins to suspect that something—or someone—is pulling the strings. The game knows what scares them. What they hide. What they really don’t want to say.
And once you play, there’s no way out. Unless you're willing to tell the ultimate truth… or face the final dare.
