The ROBLOX VR Experience

Introduction
So, you may not know that ROBLOX has a VR option for games that support it, I'll quickly go over it so you don't get lost, you may skip this if you already know or just don't care.

Now back in around 2017 with the hype for the VR Headsets and HTC Vive, ROBLOX's developers wanted to get on the trend and created a blog post in the official website that you can find here:

ROBLOX's VR wasn't that complex, all body movements you made with your ROBLOX avatar were local except Dances, Movement, Chatting and of course Emotes. A few games were made for VR but otherwise it didn't receive much attention as it was pretty limited and probably will always be, a few prototypes of Phantom Forces (a popular ROBLOX shooting game, class based) were made although.

Beginning
Recently I got a VR Headset as a Birthday present from my best friends, they had saved up all month for it, I thanked them so much I couldn't even remember later on, after the party finished up and everything was cleaned I walked home, I proceeded to toggle the VR headset on a random testing server to make sure everything was working, while searching for VR specific games I found a quite strange one classified "Psychological Horror". I made sure to favorite the game as it was pretty late and I was tired.

Ch. 1 "First Day"
After waking up from the 9 hour sleep and getting a beverage to keep me up, I proceeded to open the page on the game, I felt like something was off about the game's creator. but I digress and clicked the play button..

After loading in I was introduced to a regular Roblox avatar acting as some form of tutorial NPC, it seemed like the creator worked on a custom dynamic system for VR users, I recall it being pretty awesome to mess around with the physics.

Eventually, the tutorial NPC led me to a room with one dagger and a all-white avatar named "Test Dummy", the tutorial character's chat bubble appeared as followed: "Of course, with our dynamic and advanced interaction system it wouldn't be fun without gears, try it out on one of the test dummies!" I reached over to the gear and grabbed it, walking in front of the dummy. I stabbed the dummy through the gut and the advanced euphoria-styled reaction system was frankly quite sinister to me, as after struggling out of the blade the dummy proceeded to roll on the ground clutching the wound and twitching, with a realistic depiction of its blood spilling around in drops.

The tutorial character then proceeded to teach me in use of various other weaponry (ranged,magical,explosive etc) and even environmental hazards that could be picked up (such as rocks,barrels or crates) could be used as weapons. I was frankly amazed by this. Although when I finished the tutorial the avatar's dialogue began to mildly glitch out, leading me to another place..

I found the game by it's ID and Name, I favorited it as the introduction was quite.. interesting. I decided I would play it tomorrow and investigate it.

(The introduction spawned me in what seemed to be an apartment room, with a pistol that had tomorrow's date marked into it and a knife stuffed into what seemed to be my character's backpack.)

Ch. 2 "Strange Happenings"
(time skip) While cycling home, I saw a police vehicle and ambulance speed by towards my friends house, I was confused but I decided to keep going home as the last thing I'd want today is be incriminated. I got home and checked my mail for newspapers, I found one and decided to stop to read it as I had spare time.

"MAN FOUND DEAD IN HIS HOUSE"

Intrigued, I proceeded to read the rest.

"(...) Several screams were heard today in (My Street's Name) Avenue, one of the neighbors is said to have called the local police department (...)"

"(...) Recent investigations concluded that the murder was orchestrated by an unknown individual, the victim had been shot to death five times by a nine-millimeter bullet."

I proceeded to walk and peek around the street, seeing my friends house under a police perimeter, I proceeded to walk back home, I mourned my friends death.

Wanting to forget the incidents today and get them out of my head, I proceed to turn my computer on and get on the game's page, I clicked the play button and put on my VR headset, firmly gripping the controllers.

As I loaded in, I proceeded to the examine the room, when I came back to the backpack a figure dressed in all dark, translucent in humanoid form was leaning crossing their arms. I examined both weapons, the knife was still normal, although the pistol (A Glock-17, using pretty much the same bullet found in the murder scene.) The mark was gone and there was a few blood marks on the tip of the barrel, it was obvious on the grip that someone had used it, five bullets were missing from the magazine too.

I turned on the flashlight taped to the pistol and firmly held my knife on the other hand, then proceeded to open the door out of the room.

I saw humanoid figures on the other side of the hallway leaning on the wall, they were wearing casual clothes, their faces though were disfigured and the clothing was stained in a red mist.

As I fully opened the creaky door, the two figures saw me and began stumbling at me making groaning-like noises, I proceeded to shoot them both with the pistol, ending up unloading the magazine into one of them, I left the other one that was rolling on the ground clutching the wounds, going through the hall door.

On the other side, out of the dark fog another of the creatures jumped me attempting to subdue me, I managed to overpower it and stab it in the gut with my knife, twisting the knife and tossing the thing aside, getting back up.

I saved the game as I felt a chill go down my spine after staring at the dark fog at the end of the hallway, then I proceeded to leave the game, unbeknownst to what is gonna happen.

Ch. 3 "Terror is Reality"
I got barely any sleep, I had horrible dreams, I went for a soda at the fridge to cope with it all while browsing youtube on my phone, after a while of watching videos, I heard a few dozen loud, popping sounds coming from the apartment next road, I quickly quit off of youtube and called the police about the sounds, feeling quite startled I try to keep my composure and put my phone aside, I walk to the road of the apartment, there was already two police cars in a perimeter around it, and I could hear more coming.

I worked up the courage to ask one of the police officers "What happened?" to which he replied about two people that were murdered, one was murdered on the spot by a weapon that couldn't be found on the crime scene, another person was shot three times, the person was left alive by the attacker, the last one was stabbed in the gut by a military grade combat knife. It all snapped to me, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt about it all being a coincidence, of course I didn't disclose it to the police officer as I didn't want to seem guilty.

TO BE CONTINUED.
