Player wanders into deserted virtual world, finds abundant creepiness

Chances are that you’re unfamiliar with Active Worlds. It was a virtual world created in 1995 with the ability for players to create their own content. Kind of a predecessor to Second Life, if you will.

So our story today begins with a YouTuber named Vinny who was checking out this largely deserted game for his video series. During his explorations, he came upon a figure named Hitomi Fujiko, who Vinny first assumes to be an NPC due to the repeated statements by the character. However, Hitomi Fujiko reveals that he’s a player (possibly roleplaying) and starts following Vinny around and saying incredibly creepy things, such as “Human… I didn’t want to tell you this… but this land it is empty” and “Please tell me I exist.”

The stranger finally says, “I can’t even feel pain” and then (seriously) transforms into a werewolf, yelling at Vinny to run. Now, this could be a total set-up between two players, but if not, it’s definitely one of the more disturbing things you’ll see all day. You can watch the edited and subtitled encounter between Vinny and Hitomi Fujiko after the break.
