William and Worm get caught up in a creepypasta after William finds a cursed video game at a flea market.

So this was obviously supposed to be uploaded for Halloween, and honestly, it probably could have been. The animation didn't take long to do at all, since the characters design's are so simple, but it did take like 50 hours to do the backgrounds, and all throughout production my mental state was just getting worse and worse, because there was just a lot of shit going on. At one point, working on this cartoon was literally the only thing keeping me alive.

Things are better now though, and it's finished. It's been finished for over a week now, and it would've been uploaded to Newgrounds last Saturday, but my internet was limited to really fucking slow mobile data because our home internet was even slower I guess because we're behind on the bill. I don't know why they didn't just shut it off, but whatever. Either way, now I've upgraded my phone service to have unlimited high speed data, since I actually need to use it. Before I only had 5 gigs of high speed data, which was fine before, but I blew through that shit almost instantly once I actually had to start using my phone every day, so by the time it came to upload, I just couldn't. I mean, I managed to get it uploaded to youtube, it only took 12 hours, but every time I tried to upload it on newgrounds, it would just fail. I left it going over night, but it was like I hadn't even uploaded anything. So from the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry that Newgrounds didn't get to experience this first, I've always tried to upload stuff on newgrounds before youtube, even if it's only 12 hours before and uploaded at midnight.

Anyways, this will probably be my last cartoon for the year. Finishing this kinda burnt me out, although I do still have the will to work, especially now that things won't be too much of a pain in the ass with my upgraded service, but all the cartoons I wanna make are over a minute long, and those haven't been very fun to work on lately so idk

Also the youtube upload of this has fucked audio, but I've hopefully fixed it now, so that's something extra at least.
