I just want my old life back
When and where did theSteam demoforhorrorgameNew Lifefirst find its way to me?
“For who is madder?!”
I shout, in a normal and cool manner.
“The mice - so very mad for cheese - or the madmen who screams Mice!
in the middle of the cheese aisle?!”
And if I cant remember how it got here, how can I make it go away?
I no longer wish to play the demo for New Life, if indeed I ever did.
I find its description deeply unnerving in its unadorned simplicity.
“A creepy story about a guy,” it begins.
Immediately, I am beset by visions of Poe.
“What folly!”
“What utter madness!”.
For what is all horror if not, in some small way, a creepy story about a guy?
“Immerse yourself in the dark adventure of a guy who suffers from depression and feels guilty.
He never takes off his hood and always keeps his hands in his pockets,” it continues.
“Michael became disillusioned with life and decided to take a stab at start his life over.
But is it possible to escape from your past?”
Is it possible indeed?
Day after day, I set myself the task of clearing the clutter from my library.
A demo Ive played and do not wish to play again.
A demo that has tempted me to buy the full game.
And then, there is the demo for New Life.
Haunting me like all unfulfilled aspirations must eventually: relentlessly.
I move the cursor.
I right click and hover over the uninstall button.
But still, I cannot leave.
“What if?”
“What then?”.
(I will probs just leave it there tbf its a very small demo)
