This is a bit of a long story so I'll try to condense it.
The first time I played Mr Hopp I had nightmares for a month. It was then that I realized I was a total chicken. Over the course of a year, I played different horror games of increasing terror (including some simpler ones like DDLC and some creepier ones like FNAF) until I thought I was ready. And you know what?
Mr Hopp looked like a wimp.
I couldn't imagine ever being scared of this guy.
The moral of the story: Humans can be psychologically conditioned to believe anything given enough time. Thank you for motivating me to become a horror buff, Moonbit Studios! I will be anxiously waiting for the sequel.
And who knows? I might be a streamer one day thanks to you guys...
