Wow. I read the whole story and I was quite captivated by it. Real or fake, it was an amazing "edge-of-your-seat" kind of story. The videos scared the crap out of me, though (only managed two of the three). If this is real, however, I bet that it was just modded or seriously glitched.
the third.. was awful :/
the first two were good, the only parts that were really "creepy" were..
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">when the cartridge kept "turning itself off" when the player did something it didn't like.
and all those weird ass/quick changes to other things, constantly.</div>
i also thought about this a bit last night, and..
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>why do i think so much about fake things?/spoilers</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">all the events happening to the player could be what "ben" tried to do to escape his torture. for instance, being in a town/place all alone, with only people who are 1.) bat*censored.2.0* insane, 2.) trying to hurt/kill him.
so, he may have tried to go to somewhere to get away from his fear of these people, (in this case the swordsman's
shop, but instead, he was cornered and alone by one of the perpetrators. at this point he ran away, only to be chased. going to assume the well/underground path to the telescope building could be an alleyway, or other dark, dank place. sewers, anyone?
his assailant pursued him, and he inevitably tried to drown himself to get away from this life.
at this point, one of two things could have happened. he could have died, and have his "soul" attached to the cartridge, or he could have been saved by one of the people who were torturing him, or abducted before he had the chance to drown himself. this could mean that how he died was not fully publicized, and he was instead tortured to death by the three people whom are represented in game as the statue, happy mask salesman, and skull kid.
how link's body was displayed at the stone tower could be one way he was tortured, but again, all of this is just baseless ranting since it's really just a modded rom/story.
and i know i missed a lot of things, but i was mainly thinking about those points, last night.
still, hella good story, imo.</div>
