Now I don't fault the creator of the game, it's just that for some reason, he wanted to base his game around Sonic.EXE, which by reading the story, sounds like a boring game that the kid is over dramatizing, so not much the source material gives you. I bet you this creator can possibly make a better game without the restriction of having it be a recreation of a snore fest, but I digress.

(9:10) Fun Fact: Dark Purple and black combined are ominous because colors are connected to our brains, and creates an ominous effect. I figured that out myself a few days after getting paranoid when looking at a picture with the same color combo. That’s why the color combination is often tied to Halloween.

[@mackenziewoloschuk7375]

Depends on the color tone as well. Dark purple in a lighter tone isn't scary at all when combined with black, it actually looks quite charming. But dull the color a bit, make its tone a bit more dead looking, and that helps with the creepiness lol

[@dkjcb3993]

New Horizons pulled it off perfectly. Why? Because of the letter, you see. At the beginning of the game, you learn that you have applied for a special opportunity trip, and are currently booking in for your flight. The reason why the letter brings the video home is not just because of it's authenticity, which it totally has, but because of the lesson it teaches. If you go back and read the letter, you will notice the header: *"Your application for the Desert Island Getaway Package has been denied."* Now you may be thinking "yeah, what about it, why is that so special? And what do you mean by 'lesson'?" We all know that Nintendo markets for kids and families, so it would be no surprise if they wove in some well-meaning moral type stories or lessons. This rejection letter serves not just as an error message, but as a reminder and warning that quote-unquote *"Video game piracy is a serious crime and violation of the law."* and that people with a criminal record can have major restrictions in life, even if the crime is as petty as simple video game piracy. People won't want to hire a dishonest thief. People won't want to welcome a convicted criminal into their home country. People won't want to associate their kids with a bad influence. People won't want you, and people won't tolerate you. The message subtly drills into you or your child that criminals are slighted in life, no matter the severity of their actions. This is precisely something that Nintendo would do. Of course, this is like 98% likely not to be the case in terms of actual meaning, as the original creator was most likely thinking along the lines of "Yeah, this is simple and authentic. Just a classic ol' 'nope you can't play' screen while still keeping true to the game and it's plot" I am literally just here, in this comment section, right now, because I heavily overthink things and like to be incredibly dramatic! Anyway, I'm off to pirate some music - anyone want anything?
