The room is dim, lit only by the glow of an old CRT monitor humming with a low, electric drone. Dust motes dance in the screen's pale light as a file installs pixel by pixel, a relic from a decade ago. The game boots — a flickering image, static, then nothing. You click "start game."

Tap yourself on the head. It knocked you on the head... What do you do?
