Rami pressed a few of the buttons on the Gameboy, struggling to find the one that turns it on. After pressing the last button available, pixels moved on the screen, forming a strange logo. Then the game began, no starter screen, no introduction to the game, just a sprite walking around the forest.
Rami pressed a few more buttons, just to be sure what they do. A menu showed up at the right side of the screen

Rami highlighted the '...' before selecting it. It brought her to a different menu, showing her the sprite up close. A flipped cap, crimson red hoodie and yellow and black pants. The features on his face were pixelated, so it was hard to make out.
Rami then noticed small icons at the bottom of the screen.'They look like people' she thought. She counted eight of the faces before noticing how much time was spent on the game. 'Wow' she thought again before exiting out of the menu, highlighting and selecting the word 'Pokemon'.
It brought her to another menu, presenting strange figures in 6 boxes. Rami selected the first box, showing her a weird letter of some sort.

Rami then clicked onto the next one.

Rami looked at the letters again, realising that they spelt something out
"He died" she whispered to herself.
A faint shiver went up Rami's spine, a feeling of unease. She continued to play, a series of Pokemon battles, slowly losing limbs and creepy words being spelt out by newly discovered unowns.
Rami finished the game, her invisible sprite standing in a grave. A look of horror mixed with sadness invaded her face.
"I'm sorry......" She whispered to the sprite, not knowing that the ghost/glitch inside could hear her.
'It's okay'
