You are a 32 year old man, who has just lost his wife. You first met her when she was just 16 years old. Both of you met each other and started talking to each other. Soon, you started dating her. You loved her, everyday you would watch TV together. You and your girlfriend would go to the park with your dog named Zekey. You would watch the beautiful sunset as she chases you around the park. Oh what beautiful times these were, when our love was plentiful. Our love blossomed over time and eventually, you got married at age 19. it was something wonderful, something splendid. Both of you had no regrets at all. You went to Paris for your honeymoon, and there you kissed her and hugged her in front of the Eiffel tower. It was a beautiful moment in your life for sure. In your marriage, you would always go on dates with her, go to the movies, the beach, the park, and anywhere else. She was like your best friend, she was everything for you, and you were everything for her. It was very apparent that your relationship would last for life. You never argued with her, you agreed on everything with her, she was your soulmate. At age 21 you had your first child with her, and you had all the love in the world for your daughter. Your second child soon came a year later, and you loved your son more than anything in the world (other than your wife). You had a good paying job, you were a father, and you had the best wife ever. Your life was a dream. One day, 3 years ago, you decided to create a Steam account, and things went downhill from there.

You created your Steam account, and went downhill from there. You found this game called "Getting Over it with Bennett Foddy" and decided to buy it. You played the game, and you got frustrated by falling over and over again. You were determined to finish the game, you were determined to make this game a cakewalk, but that required effort. You were there for hours upon hours. Your wife invited you to dinner that day, but for the first time ever, you rejected. Your wife was in utter confusion on what had happened to you, but she slowly walked away. Your kids wanted you to play soccer with them, but you rejected them once more. Your entire family was wondering on what had happened to you. You stayed up all day, all night, playing Getting Over It. You never took a shower, and kept on ordering fast food from Uber Eats. Your family soon figured out what happened to you; you became a gamer. Your wife decided to take care of the kids herself soon forgot about you. Once in a while, your wife remembered all the memorable moments you had with her, and she sometimes cried hoping you would stop playing someday. A week since you started playing and your boss fired you. They found out you became a gamer. Right before they fired, they took a look at what you had done to the company, the boss almost cried. They thought of the years of college it took to get your master's, then on top of that being the valedictorian, top of your class. They realized that without you, their company wouldn't be the multi-billion dollar company it is today. After the crying for losing another great person was gone, they fired you. Everyone you knew cried, they fell to their knees, they couldn't believe that someone like you became a gamer. Soon, your funeral was held. You weren't dead, but, you entire personality and character was. You were now soulless, just a shell of what you were. Your colleagues spoke about your outstanding contributions to their lives, the company, and the world. There, Getting Over it was humiliated and vilified by everyone. At the end, several cauldrons were destroyed with hammers, to symbolize their hatred for what the game had done.

As everyone cried as they saw you become into a fat, obese, brain dead gamer that plays Getting Over It all day, you were living the dream. You became an absolute pro and in no time you got the golden cauldron. You started speedrunning the game, and you reached the leaderboards. Each time you were getting faster and faster and even faster! One day, you achieved the world record, glitchless, as well as with glitches, and you celebrated. When you became the top speedrunner, and a renowned player, you started playing custom maps. Everything related to the game you played, and you played all day. One day, you had played every single map out there, you had the world record in every category, and had done basically everything in the game. Finally, after years of non-stop playing, you got bored. Then, for the first time in 3 years, you got out the room. Your house was crumbling. There were dead rats everywhere, rats, and moss was growing on the walls. You then realized what happened, your wife divorced you without your acknowledgement, and your kids were gone. Then you had a flashback of your past. Your had a breakdown on the spot. You used to be a star, but, you became an obese speedrunner. The only thing being paid for in the house was the electricity, and wife was paying for that so you can stay happy.

You walked out the door, but didn't know where your wife lived, so you immediately walked back in. Your beautiful wife was gone, your kids were gone, everything was gone. You were broke. All you had was the now broken and torn business suit you were wearing when you first started playing, and your foul odor. Your business suit was too small for you, you were massive. You could barely walk out the door because you were so overweight. You lost everything, now, what was next was to commit the unthinkable. You were forgotten anyway.


You could get over the mountain thousands of times, but could you get over this massive fall? You won, but at what cost?
