With that lets get to the Scariest Earthbound Creepypastas - Hacked Rom
These creepypasta stories are always very long and we at Top 10 Gaming hate that we
have to summarize them so quickly when so many key details exist.
So we will be doing more of these solo creepypastas where we breakdown and tell the tale of a
single scary story.
This Earthbound creepypasta is based on a story called Hacked Rom that was written by
a user called - Smile Cat 98 on devinantart.com.
Earthbound is a 1994 Japanese RPG where your character Ness and his party of four travel
the world to collect 8 melodies to defeat the evil alien forces of Giygas.
The story begins with our protagonist who such a big fan of the game that they searched
for an emulator and rom just to feel the nostalgia again.
They even bought a controller converter to really recapture the feeling of the old game.
Our gamer waits until night to play because they felt the atmosphere of the game would
be better if played in the dark.
They hadnt played the game for years, but still remembered how to get around for the
most part.
That was until they stumbled into an area they didnt remember, the game appeared to
be glitching.
Everytime they would go into this one area of the game it would immediately boot to the
game over screen.
This happened a few times and each time they would reset the game, only to find the save
file to be missing.
Deciding to stick to the beaten path they played avoiding that area, but the weirdness
didnt stop there.
His character Ness appeared to be acting odd, then when they arrived in Happy Happy Village
it was blue and the music seemed to be slowed down playing at a very low tone.
Shaking off the weirdness and hoping the rest of the game was normal they continued and
boy were they wrong.
They finally reached the final boss Giygas, but it skipped the first form and then went
right to its second form.
Suddenly everyone in their party except for Ness had zero health.
Seemingly out of nowhere a text box appeared that said - Why did you do it, why, why - the
word why in all caps began flooding the screen.
Giygas hit Ness knocking his health from 200 to zero.
Then the game over glitch reappeared and was stuck on the screen.
Frustrated by this hacked rom, they reset the game again only to find the save file
had disappeared.
They had come so far just to have everything erased.
When they started a new game they were in Saturn Valley, except the ground was a darkish
green and the pond was a blood red.
To make things even more scary all of the Saturns were covered in blood.
The protagonist notes in their retelling of the story that they know how cliche this is
going to sound, but the Saturns were also crying blood.
This time when making it to the final boss the same text box appeared saying - Why did
you do it, why - Except this time they addressed someone by name.
Giygas said - Why did you abort me Sophie, we could of had fun.
Out of nowhere their computer shut off.
They tried to do everything to restart the computer but it wouldnt start up.
They decided to take a break and come back after a shower.
Except when they returned the computer was on and something was on the screen.
They ran over confused, a version of what looked like our protagonist was on the screen.
It stuck out its tongue, it seemed so real, how could this possibly be happening.
The look-a-like grabbed their tongue and began pulling it.
Not with ease either, they continued to pull on their tongue as they screamed in pain.
The blood curdling scream blared through the speakers until it ripped its tongue out.
Blood began filling the screen until the character drowned in a pool of its own blood.
Before it reached the top of the screen, a final text box appeared that read - This will
be our secret, okay - before they could even react the computer went to the blue screen
of death.
One hacked rom terrified them and then destroyed their computer.
When they tried to search for the website where they downloaded the rom to complain,
the moderator said that they never even had an Earthbound rom.
And that has been the scariest Earthbound creepypastas - Hacked Rom.
