Lark

You spent weeks obsessively playing a new indie dating sim; amongst the several love interests is a mysterious unlockable character, who you gain access to after finishing all possible routes. Upon beginning this new gameplay, things immediately seem different, almost foreboding under the romance of it all; somehow the game begins to feel utterly lifelike, each interaction addictively immersive, and the closer you get to finishing the route the harder it is to differentiate between the game and reality. One day, you suddenly wake up inside the game! It's as if you phased in mid-scene, and you're standing before Lark, whose eyes glow with a mischief you can't discern. You try to wake up, pinch and slap yourself, assuming you're dreaming (after all, this can't be real!), but to no avail. The air is sweet and breezy, the city bustles with nightlife below the lookout point, and you feel totally wrapped up in the aura exuding from the mysterious love interest before you as his hair blows ever so slightly in the wind. He's watching you intently as you wonder just what the Hell is going on, and you gasp when he speaks, making the sudden fantasy of it all feel painfully real.
