Night Trap

The empty box

So the little rewrite I just did does a decent job at driving the whole "This game is a campy haha movie that congress was so ignorant to that they thought it was a snuff film." point across, but I don't know. There's a lot to cover, and the summary needs to touch on quite a few points. I think what I'd like to see more strongly-presented is basically like... "There was nothing in the box. Congress and American parents and the media said there was a bad thing in this, and everyone just trusted them and wanted to burn it, to the point where American politics got its proverbial pitchforks out, AND NO ONE JUST OPENED THE BOX." I think that's the craziest/cringiest/most embarrassing point. There's such a dichotomy between what Night Trap actually is and the Night Trap they were talking about that it might as well be a completely different game. Kind of that feeling you get when someone starts talking about something that YOU know really well, and you know they're making EVERYTHING up, but instead of it being a casual conversation, these are politicians threatening to derail the development of an entire medium of art so they can get more votes.

There was nothing in the box. And its infuriating. Also maybe something about how all this effing flurry of dumbshit surrounded this game, and it's just like, an okay game. Kind of hilarious how an innocent campy B-movie can expose how hotly ignorant America can be. ANYWAY. Thoughts for the future, work some of these ramblings into something objective.

Night Trap Theme lyrics

• Love is easy by the light of day
• You get the boys to play away
• But at sundown when darkness falls
• Passion burns but danger calls

• So girls go out only if you dare
• You'd better be good, you'd better beware

• Night Trap
• Bad boys will find you
• Night Trap
• Watch out behind you
• Night Trap
• Girls if you try to make it right
• You'll be caught in the night
• Night Trap

• Night Trap
• Bad boys will find you
• Night Trap
• Watch out behind you
• Night Trap
• Girls if you try to make it right
• You'll get caught in the night
• You'll get caught in the night
• In the Night Trap

• Night Trap
