are.
What
place? She asked. Her tears were heavy now, but silent,
dropping down to the desk unheeded. She wiped her eyes so that she
could see the screen, rubbing her tears away impatiently. She began
to feel scared that Jonny had gone. More agonising seconds passed,
and in her head she said, ‘please reply, please reply, please
reply.’ She began to give up hope. He was gone. He must have gone-
it was taking too long. She almost cried out in frustration, but
then suddenly there it was, clear as day. Four words. Four bizarre,
incomprehensible words. She stared at them for a long time, trying
to understand, trying to think over things he’d previously said.

They thought
it was just a video game, but it’s not. Someone is out there.
Watching.
Nick is
somebody who needs his life to change. Exhausted, broke, and
cracking under the pressure of trying to hold everything together,
it begins to seem like there is no end in sight. Until the video
game he’s spent two years developing alongside his best friend Dan
mysteriously disappears to be replaced with something new,
something better, something finished.
Initially
unsure whether to release the game, Nick makes a snap decision when
he learns of the impact his struggles finishing the game are having
on his wife, Lily, who has a history of depression. Before long,
positive reviews and sales come rolling in, but Nick finds himself
in a worse position than ever before. Because the game is not
content to simply be played. It wants to change, it wants to grow,
and most disturbing of all, it seems to want something from
them.
