Description

Harvey Johnson joined my game development crew at SeeminglyPointless.com and was to prove his talent by participating in the GameBoyJam. About halfway through the jam, he decided to take a break from games and do some urban exploration of an abandoned facility a few hours away from his apartment.

Harvey found a CD and a note addressed to him in one of the abandoned buildings. I know this because he later tweeted a picture of it at me accusing me of planting it as a joke: https://twitter.com/HarveyHJohnson/status/355525592726257666/photo/1

A day later, I heard he wasn't responding to people, so I went to see if he was doing alright. His apartment appeared untouched when I arrived, sans a glitched game screen and a sheet of paper saying "James upload this game." I didn't want to upload it, but I couldn't shake off the whispering I heard in the dark and the feeling that I was being watched. This went on for a full day until I finally caved in and uploaded it. I don't feel as afraid in the dark anymore, but I will never open this game.

I uploaded some footage I got from his phone, and a few relevant pictures here. I just want to make sure people know what they're getting into. I'm afraid that if I try to hide the game, the shadows will come back, and I don't want to end up like Harvey.
