Interesting concept!
This was a pretty interesting little read :3 I totally agree with CrazyCowLady that it's kinda like an urban legend! I can see a Creepypasta getting written about something like this x3 if there isn't one already.
It was a cool concept and I had fun playing :3 The music definitely adds to the eerie, slightly unsettling atmosphere that something's not quite right!

I'm glad CrazyCowLady made that comment below because I honestly thought I was imagining things with the desktop background changing xD I can't remember exactly the first time I noticed it, but I sorta had to do a doubletake, then I convinced myself that I was seeing things, then I watched it like a hawk, haha. It's a really neat touch! I love little details like that so much :3
When it mentioned remembering the names of friends, I panicked ever so slightly because I suck at remembering things like that >.< so I was pretty thankful I didn't have to, haha.
What a strange experience.
First of all, I liked the little details like the mouse cursor not showing up outside the monitor or the virtual mouse moving along as I was moving mine. Also, since there were chat windows open most of the time, the changes in the desktop background were nice and subtle.
As for improvements, I think the background music didn't loop fully/you could hear when it started over. Not sure if that's intentional, but if you feel like it, you could maybe make a smoother transition.
The ending gave me goosebumps, which I think is a job well done. It's a short game, but it did what it was supposed to do, although I wouldn't have minded if it was longer.
To me, it had similar vibes to those urban legend horror stories we used to tell each other during sleepovers :)
Thank you so much for the feedback! We're so happy it gave you urban legend vibes!
