you The game's title flashes across my screen.
Unrequited.
An old-school loading bar pops up, a vein pumping blood to my heart.
The words, Start Game, hover over the beating heart.
I move the knife that is my mouse icon onto it and click, and the heart explodes.
A stock scream rings in my ears.
It's a ham-fisted mix of gore and cheese.
Baby, you broke my heart, so now I'm gonna stab yours.
Unrequited begins like 90% of horror games.
In a haunted room.
My goal is rendered in bloody letters at the top of the screen.
Explore the room.
Except...
The moment I swing my camera around to view a low-res boxy sofa, wallpaper, and pixelated furniture, my heart drops into my stomach.
No way, I think.
No friggin' way.
The room... is my living room.
Hold on, let me back up a second.
Unrequited isn't a game you'll find anywhere.
I'd never heard of this game before my friend Sarah sent me a link via messenger last week with a note about how it was right up my alley.
Today was the first day I clicked on that link, downloaded the game and ran it with no idea it was about to drop me into a pixelated version of my own goddamn living room.
I message Sarah.
What the hell is this game? Then, while waiting for her response, the rationalizations kick in.
Maybe it's a coincidence.
Every townhome on my street has the same cookie-cutter three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and garage.
