You found the game, bought it and installed it. You had enough space in your memory that you didn't hesitate to pick up the game. Even though it wasn't in your cart before, it appeared upon the system's suggestions. As usual, you watched a few gameplay videos, looked at a few screenshots from the game, and it was enough to lead you astray. As someone who sits and plays games for hours, and has done so for most of his life, you expected the game to install, which took several hours. Hours passed, in the meantime you drank 3 coffees and ate some snacks. Just as you were about to forget the little incident that happened on your street, the installation ended. You opened the console and waited with excitement, curiosity and anxiety to see what you would encounter.
There was nothing surprising on the first screen of the game, as always, it was just the logo and music of a familiar production company that you knew very well. After a short update period passed, the game's starting screen opened. First, you chose a player name for yourself, and as always, you chose a name that would make you look like someone else. While the game was processing this information into its own data, it thought for a while, tried to guess who you were, and eventually found you among the data of other games.
It decided to respond to this little joke you played on it. On the next screen it did something that won't surprise you but will surprise previous players; It has created a special difficulty level for you under a name that will attract your attention. In order to do this in seconds, a special code was placed inside by the creators of the game. And yes, you chose that difficulty level without being surprised and unaware of anything. You started playing, you played without getting bored. For days and weeks, you struggled without leaving your home in the trap that was set for you. You struggled through many riddles you couldn't solve, many enemies you couldn't kill, and many levels you couldn't pass.
