Welcome to the Game is a puzzle-based horror game developed by Reflect Studios, the same lovely people who brought us Rides With Strangers. It was released June 15, 2016 on Steam.The game follows a Featureless Protagonist browsing The Deep Web, a real-life digital Wretched Hive, in search of a Red Room, a live streaming service hosting actual Gorn. To find the Red Room, the player must find 8 pieces of the url scattered around the web, all while avoiding the Kidnapper who is after them, and (as of ver 2.9) the Breather, a Serial Killer who goes after people browsing the Deep Web.On November 11, 2016, the game's content sum was almost doubled with the 2.0 update, adding, in addition to the new villain, 30+ more websites, new mechanics, achievements, and a duo of Harder Than Hard to unlock secret endings.A DLC for this game titled The Waiting Room was released about a year and a half later, serving as a prelude to the sequel. In it, you play as a captive in the Red Room, who must go through the Deep Web to find and decrypt 6 hashes, then enter them as one code to escape, all while making sure the Executioner doesn't catch you.See also Welcome to the Game II, the sequel.

comment
Heroic Mime: While the secret ending reveals "heroic" couldn't be more incorrect, the protagonist is still so silent it's unrealistic. Even when a Malevolent Masked Man breaks into their house and kidnaps them, our hero still doesn't make a single peep. Suddenly subverted in the secret ending where the player all of a sudden starts having a conversation on the phone.

The Sociopath: A good chunk of the "Forgive Me" anons (specifically the omnicidal maniacs and cheaters) are clearly sociopaths...or pretend to be (see Ambiguously Evil). A definitely-straight example is the Executioner.

 Welcome to the Game (Video Game) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: The Deep Web's universal depravity is exaggerated to make the game scarier. The tamest stuff you find are hundreds of people on the Forgive Me website, an anonymous confession generator, talking about how they want to get stalked and raped, or how they want to commit senseless mass murder, or how they've done mountains of sexually explicit things. The worst it gets are actual satanic cults, hitmen organizations, and of course, Red Rooms.

Nightmare Fetishist: There's plenty of young women on "Forgive Me" that want to be stalked and raped or have self-admitted sociopath fetishes. The protagonist might also be this, as a hardcore Deep Web navigator and an active seeker of a Red Room. One of the secret endings takes this literally by revealing the protagonist is looking for a Red Room for sexual pleasure.

Entering The Pedo Handbook site leads to the Kidnapper tracking you down instantly, leading to a game over.

Pop Quiz: "The Gatekeeper" site is a trivia quiz about the other sites on the Deep Web, with questions ranging from the number of URLs that Takedownman has taken down to what offerings are demanded by what cults to the price a specific website sells a specific firearm for. Since you need to complete this quiz to get the 8th key to the Red Room, this also counts as a Final Exam.

 Welcome to the Game (Video Game) / int_407d3e6d
comment
Morton's Fork: If you're really unlucky, a hacking minigame can trigger at the same time a home invader is approaching, and the hack will continue even if you turn the lights off, forcing you to choose between letting yourself get hacked (costing you a few days and potentially losing your notes—meaning any codes you typed and saved would be lost) or stopping the hack and risking getting a game over if you can't block the hack and turn the lights back off or hold the door shut in time (instant game over). This goes double late in the game where losing those days and/or codes wouldn't leave you enough time to get all the codes and unlock the Red Room before it's shut down, but blocking the hacks takes much longer, making it more risky to leave the lights on and stop them in this case.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: When clicking your way through "Forgive Me", you'll find people talking about desires of mass-murder, actual mass-murder, callous cheating, and worse, yet there's this one guy talking about how he hates being called "bro".

A good chunk of the "Forgive Me" anons (specifically the omnicidal maniacs and cheaters) are clearly sociopaths...or pretend to be (see Ambiguously Evil).

Irony: The reason you're going through all of this chaos is just to find a Red Room, Deep Web streams of innocent people being kidnapped and tortured to death for the viewers' entertainment. One of the ways to get a Game-Over is to get kidnapped by a Deep Web person yourself, which implies you yourself will get to star in a Red Room. You got your wish, alright.

Shout-Out
 Welcome to the Game (Video Game) / int_c75df49a

Shout-Out: So many to Rides With Strangers that it eventually turns into Intercontinuity Crossover. The torturer in the Red Room sounds a lot like Mark Hamill's Joker. The torturer also appears to be wearing Masky's mask. While it isn't quite confirmed, a number of the sites seems to be based on ones shown in the Deep Web Exploration series by SomeOrdinaryGamers.

Schmuck Bait: Go on, go to The Pedo Handbook site and click on enter, see what happens. The Kidnapper finds you instantly. Even moreso since that site can give you one of the key for the Red Room just by going to its initial page, which can make an inexperienced player tempted to check the actual site.

Would Not Hurt A Child: While there are still plenty of people on the Deep Web who have no qualms about doing things to children, there are still quite a few who clearly oppose it. It's also heavily implied in one case; go into the Pedo Handbook and the Kidnapper gets to you immediately.

The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: As in the original, the game is microphone-sensitive, so you better shut the hell up when the Executioner is near. Made extra sadistic in that this whole game was specifically made as a contest for Let's Players, whose entire purpose is to commentate over the games they play.

Featureless Protagonist: The Player is a mute First-Person Ghost whose only motivation is finding a Red Room, which implies either childlike curiosity or morbid sadism. The Kidnapper also calls them "kid" though only in the demo version. Subverted in the Who Am I ending, which reveals the protagonist to be Lydia.

Determinator: The shit you're willing to go through just to find a Red Room is insane (digging through mountains of sickening Deep Web content, fending your computer from armies of professional hackers, fending yourself from actual home invaders). However, when you remember Red Rooms are just Gorn for lifeless sickos, this starts to seem more Loser Protagonist-y. The Who Am I ending reveals it's actually Villain Protagonist-y.
