The rules exist for a reason it’s my understanding that they’re as much about keeping you, the player or players, safe as they are about making the ritual work, so I don’t really get why you’d want to willfully ignore them. Honestly, these kinds of questions baffle me. What’s more frightening than the unknown? It’s better to leave the door open to possibility.īesides, not knowing what comes next is one of the most basic fears we have. As such, even though you might want to ask all of those “but what happens if…” questions… you probably don’t actually want to know the answers. Odds are that whatever your own imagination can come up with is far more frightening than whatever someone else can - because whatever you think up is specific to you. Good horror, I think, paints in broad enough strokes that any individual can take what’s there and run with it, coming up with a highly personalized experience no one else will have. And I’ve always maintained that, when it comes to horror, what we don’t see is always much scarier than what we do see. Remember, most of these games aren’t actually real they’re urban legends for the digital age, thought up by some creative individuals and meant primarily to spook and entertain. What happens if I do ? Please give details. None of them call for the destruction of the candles used once they’re completed, so you should be fine however, if it makes you feel better, go ahead and dispose of them. Games that involve candles include (but definitely are not limited to) the Midnight Game, the Candles Game, Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, the Dark Reflection Ritual, and the Staircase Ritual. No candles are used in any part of the ritual, though, so perhaps I made the wrong assumption about which game to which it might have referred. This one is from an old edition of “ Search Terms from the Black Lagoon.” At the time, I’d wondered if maybe it was pertaining to the Shoebox Telephone game it would seem to make a certain amount of sense if that were the case, given that Shoebox Telephone is the only ritual we’ve covered here that specifically involves a shoebox. I left my candle in the closet in a shoebox. What happens if you ignore any red flags? …But then, you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t get at least a tiny bit of a thrill from the danger. The safest thing, of course, is just not to play any of them. The Midnight Man is probably the best example of a guest who likes to stick around, even after his game has been completed the same is true of Daruma-San. Remember, most of these rituals involve inviting dangerous things into your home - and once they’ve been invited in, it’s really hard to get them to leave, even if you complete or abort the game (this, I suspect, is also why some games should never be played more than once). When you finish or abort a game, are you safe for good? On the winter solstice, for example, it’s not unusual for the sun to rise around 7:30. The sun has typically either risen or is in the process of rising by six o’clock in the morning - although you might want to wait a little longer if you play any of these games in the dead of winter. It’s generally believed that it’s harder for anything… shall we say, not of our world to cross over to it during the daylight hours.
