Signs of What's to Come

Last night I found a package on my doorstep containing a strange Nintendo 64 Cartridge. It's titled "Signs of What's to Come". I tried looking it up online, but I couldn't find anything about it, so I thought I would try it, and document what it's like. It's probably some bootleg cartridge, but maybe it'll get some interest online at least. I'll be booting it up for the first time tonight, and writing down what I find as I go.

The game starts with a simple title screen, with the name of the game on it, and just a black background. Not very creative. Starting the game, it seems like a standard bright, and colourful 3D platformer, character looks nice. Kinda like me. Gameplay is pretty standard fair, running around grabbing collectibles, but the level is impressively huge. Like one big open world. The only directions are these weird messages. "Get out of the house" to leave the starting house, "Danger is ahead" for the first enemies, things like that. The name is accurate, I guess.

I've been playing for a while now, and things are getting weird. Those messages have kept up, but they don't seem to relate to anything anymore. I saw a message saying "He'll be there soon" but nothing ever came of it. Some of them mentioned the character's name too, "Sam" like me. Makes it all that much more apparent that the character looks like me. Maybe someone hacked me into the game or something, I don't know. I'll keep playing.

This is just fucked up. I stumbled on this area in the game which looks like my house. Like... Exactly like my house. Not just the rooms either, all of my stuff is here. My N64 is on the table exactly where it's sitting right now, all my snacks are out on the table where they are in real life too. There are more of those freaky messages too. "Run away while you can", "He's coming for you", "Don't let him catch you", like there's someone coming to my house. It's starting to freak me out. Now the character just went, and sat on the bed, just started writing into MY notebook on its own while I was writing. I'm done with this game for tonight, there's no way I'm dealing with this in the middle of the night. I'll keep going in the... Morning. My character just laid down, and just... What the fuck. Some fucked up looking guy in a black coat, with claws for hands just came in, and
