Not my president.
Given its position as a work of horror, Ever Play This Game is rife with material for this page.
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.
- The ninth unread message. The abstract wording Mr. Maxilla uses to describe his body is unsettling to say the least.
- After all messages have been opened and you're prompted to open an image, the next post features this charming sight.
- Made worse by the fact that the following post just says "Happy Birthday."
- The final drawings Ranvier finds. After Shlubby comics and political cartoons and the President's gambling dog OC, the art takes a sharp turn, seemingly lining up with the timeline of the President's disappearance and Maxilla's assault.Ranvier: THOSE AREN'T FUNNY
- Pupil's dream at the hotel. Of course, it doesn't fully grasp what it saw, but it grasps enough to know that it was evil.Pupil: IT WAS - IT WAS SMILING. BUT NOT THE GOOD KIND OF SMILE.
- Also not helped by the fact that Maxilla recognizes what it saw, and is horrified.
- Doubles as a Tear Jerker and even as heartwarming once Mr. Maxilla starts reminiscing about the President. Unfortunately, it can't last.
- The entire Christmas Eve update / Cerebelle's dream.The only signs of life in this small space are the sounds of crying coming from a locked bathroom door.
- The ending line of the dream is "You are not alone in your laughter". When you remember one of the lines from the unread messages was "we’ll have such a laugh about this, Dear President"...
- The New Years update.
- The first sign that things will go south happens when the VOID OBJECT encompasses the entire Birthday Troop, seemingly deleting them from reality. Not helped by the fact that Axon is implied to have intervened, and when the color green shows up, it's never a sign of anything good.
- BANKRUPTCY. Good God, BANKRUPTCY. It's by far the most distorted track on the OST, and it's horrifying to listen to.
- This is the first time we get a good look at the False President. Most notably, there's a set of eyes inside its mouth.
- These are never explained, by the way! Are they Axon's eyes? Another entity controlling it? One of the people it ate?
- The way Gambling Man responds to asks: completely ignoring them and going off on an unrelated tangent when they come too close to breaking the illusion. It's not anything overt, but it is unsettling, especially before the truth about him comes out.Anonymous asked: gambling man? how much of this is real?GAMBLING MAN: Sooooooo 2 ‘er three weeks ago, Steffie brought this truck, right? This big honkin’ thing, ‘s what I hear. Not like I was there. Apparently she took the gang out for a spin, in this brand new high-roller, and next thing I know she crashed the whole thing into a streetlamp with the 4 of ‘em in it. I reckon some other sap was involved too. But there she were. Crashed a brand new truck - must’er cost her millions! She had to get one of ‘em to call Triple to get the thing back on the road, but how wild is that? Comes around, goes around.
- Gambling Man in general can be sort of unsettling, just for how out of place he is. Even before the reveal, it’s obvious there’s something up about him.
- Some of the art that was revealed outside of the ARG itself fits here, including the false President concept art (pictured at the top of this page).
