TOP SECRET
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT

DATE: October 1st, 1999

SUBJECT: (REDACTED)

This document outlines a classified investigation codenamed "They Walk Among Us." This incident involves some of our most renowned agents following invitations of unidentified origin being sent to their home adresses to attend a secretive event by the aforementioned title.

The invitations asked our agents to "make a spooky game based on reality" within the month of October, under the promise of a rare currency referred to as "Makerscore." The invitations had no return adress, but were marked with a cryptic stamp reading "RMN."

------------------------

So what does "being based on reality" entail? Just to name a few options:

• Something that happened to you.
  
• A real person or event. (eg: Jack the Ripper, Mary Celeste, etc...)
  
• A real bit of folklore. (eg: Trolls, Sirens, etc...)
  
• A real urban legend. (eg: Bloody Mary)
  
• A real sighting or report (eg: Phoenix Lights, exorcisms, etc...)
  

If you are unsure about whether your idea counts, please feel free to contact head of the anomalies department, Frogge.

------------------------



- Your game must fit the event theme.
- Your game does not have to be a horror game, but has to be at least spooky in nature.
- Your game must be made entirely within the event's timeframe. However, you are allowed to start planning and gathering resources before the official start date.
- Your game must be at least 10 minutes long.
- Your game must have an approved game page. Please specify what real story your game is based on on the game page.
- Teams of up to 5 people are allowed.
- Games can be made in any engine. There is no limitation in what resources may be used.
- No AI generated art or writing is allowed, as per the site rules.

Keep in mind, while this is a horror event and stories that may contain uncomfortable subjects are not discouraged, please think about adapting your chosen story with care. I would highly recommend avoiding thing like glorifying serial killers (especially if their victims still have families alive, such as Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy), recent or controversial events (eg: mass shootings) or stories that may be slanderous or disrespectful to real people (eg: Adapting the Elisa Lam story and portraying her as insane.")

CONCLUSION:

Investigation into the secretive event remains ongoing, as authorized agents continue to gather intelligence and pursue leads. This document serves as a preliminary report in order to encourage further investigation. Those possessing any information regarding the origin of this strange incident are invited to report their findings to agent (REDACTED).
